I-CAR · May 20, 2026 · Nissan
Summary
This article details Nissan's strict refinishing and repair requirements for bumper covers on radar-equipped vehicles like the 2023-2025 ARIYA. It highlights how paint thickness, color formula, and repair materials can degrade ADAS radar performance, and outlines specific limitations on recoating and filler usage.
What to do on the job
Limit color base painting to only once inside the radar irradiation area, use only approved paint lines/colors, and do not apply putties or fillers in the side radar zones.
How to use it
When writing or defending an estimate, use this document to justify bumper replacement over repair if damage is in the radar zone, as fillers/putties are prohibited. It also supports labor time for researching specific radar irradiation areas and paint manufacturer ADAS-compliant color formulas, and justifies strict adherence to single-coat refinish limits.
