ISSUE:
Sags, runs, and/or dull spots that "appear" to be in the vehicle paint may actually be caused by the clear acrylic protective coating applied to
shield the paint during overseas vehicle transport. Clear acrylic protective coating that is not completely removed when prepping the vehicle
at the port of entry may cause these poor paint appearance spots.
ACTION:
To correct poor paint appearance, completely wash the affected area with isopropyl alcohol.
NOTE:
Paint repair should not be necessary if clear acrylic protective coating is properly and completely removed.
OTHER APPLICABLE ARTICLES: None
