Never did it before so my work will not look professional. ( gets covered so I do not mind). But I tested the bumpers on a blanket to throw them on the floor. Both had 2 small cracks so it wasn’t 100% welded together while it looked like that (stupid covers for the towinghook gaps). Better to find it out before the primer/paint process. Fixed it and filler over the bumpers. Have to wait until begin of January to get them in primer and color coded. Have to sand all the black parts to get it later in gloss black back.

I think you should be fine welding PP to PP/EPDM. I'm not actually sure if the EPDM contributes anything to the strength of the weld anyway.

Its only when the plastics are vastly different. for example PP and ABS a very different blend and can't be welded whereas ABS and ASA are very similar and can be welded.

I have some PP sheet and some PP/EPDM rods, I will go and see if it welds...

There may no paint be involved if you weld it together, all paint inclusive primer or filler have to be removed from the plastic where you have to weld it together.
