REPAIR PROCEDURE:

Factory painted cladding sub-assemblies are available from Lexus parts supply. If original parts are to be refinished, observe the following precautions during the refinish/drying process:

1. To prevent cladding warpage, firmly hold the cladding in place and keep drying temperature below 50° (122°F).

2. Since the cladding and bumpers are made of a flexible plastic urethane material, use a 2-part urethane refinish paint system with plasticizer for all bumper/cladding repairs.
