Paint: Vehicle Damage Warnings
Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems
Basecoat/Clearcoat Paint Systems
CAUTION:
-
Exposure to isocyanates during paint preparation and application processes can cause severe breathing problems. Read and follow all of
the instructions from the manufacturers of painting materials, equipment, and protective gear.
-
Approved safety glasses and gloves should be worn when performing this procedure to reduce the chance of personal injury.
All paint finish repairs of rigid exterior surfaces must meet GM standards. The GM Approved Refinish Materials book GM P/N
GM4901M-D identifies the paint systems you may use. Always refer to the latest revision of the 4901M-D book. All approved products, including
volatile organic compound (VOC) compliant regulations are listed in the system approach recommended by the individual manufacturer. Refer to the
manufacturer's instructions for the detailed procedures for materials used in the paint system in the painting repairs of rigid exterior surfaces.
All components of an approved paint system have been engineered in order to ensure proper adhesion between layers.If necessary, spot repairs or color
blending in an open panel can be done. However, do not blend clear coat in an open panel. Always apply clearcoat to the next break point (body side
molding, feature line, or the next panel)
Do not mix paint systems or substitute a product of one manufacturer for another manufacturer's product.
If incompatible products are used together the following problems may occur:
-
Lifting of primer coats caused by overly aggressive solvents in subsequent layers
-
Loss of adhesion between layers due to incompatibility of resin systems
-
Solvent popping or pin holing due to inappropriate solvent selection
-
Poor through-curing due to incompatible hardener resins or insufficient reactivity
-
Gloss reduction due to incompatible resins and/or solvents
-
Poor color accuracy due to pigment interactions with incompatible resins and/or solvents
-
Film defects (craters, blisters, orange peel loss of gloss) due to the use of inferior quality raw materials in incompatible products.
Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice
Brake Fluid Effects on Paint and Electrical Components Notice
Notice: Avoid spilling brake fluid onto painted surfaces, electrical connections, wiring, or cables. Brake fluid will damage painted surfaces and cause
corrosion to electrical components. If any brake fluid comes in contact with painted surfaces, immediately flush the area with water. If any brake fluid
comes in contact with electrical connections, wiring, or cables, use a clean shop cloth to wipe away the fluid.
Clearcoat/Ultraviolet Screeners Notice
Clearcoat/Ultraviolet Screeners Notice
Notice: Removing more than 0.5 mils of the clearcoat can result in early paint failure. The clearcoat contains ultraviolet screeners. Do not finesse sand
more than what is required to remove the defect.
