Capa certified

[Scott S]

I'm looking to replace the lower bumpers front and rear. On my Ford Edge. They are pretty faded. So I came across, perfect fit CAPA certified on car parts.com, they also have OE New on Rock Auto which is a multitude of different brands. You don't know which brand. But they call it OE New, which is very confusing.. LOL have you guys used any of these?

Any damage to them? Picture?

No there's no damage to my bumpers,

But I understand since it is a rough texture paint will not stick to it and if you do paint it it's not going to last very long.. it's only going to flake off during car washes and so on..

The rough texture will make it hold better. Use a wax and silicone remover then use plastic primer which is clear and very fast drying and spray with the color, a couple of light coats is all that is needed or until the color is uniform. 1 can per small under bumper should do it.

capa certified means aftermarket part that will usually fit better than junk aftermarket. It means its a tested part that is equal or better than the OEM part.. I used to sell parts for LKQ years ago.

A lot of body shops use capa certified stuff.
