GENERAL DESCRIPTION OF FACILITY: This facility repairs and plates metal bumpers, custom car parts, and other miscellaneous items. In addition, urethane bumpers are repaired and painted at this facility. The damage or new metal bumper is initially received and stored at the facility in the core yard. The bumpers are repaired, if necessary, in an assembly line process which involves dent removal, grinding, sanding, polishing, and cleaning. The bumper is then plated with three different metals; copper, nickel, and chrome. There is also an aluminum anodizing shop for repairing and plating aluminum bumpers, grills, and parts. Once the bumper has been repaired and plated, it is wrapped, sto ed, and eventually shipped offsite. 2
