ISSUE:
Ford has introduced anti-chip primer for the forward facing surfaces of most passenger cars and light trucks. This material is applied over the
E-coat primer to the fenders, hood, "A" post and leading edge of the roof. Primer and Topcoat are then applied over the anti-chip primer. A
repair procedure has been developed for service use.
ACTION:
If paint repair is required, refer to the following anti-chip primer repair procedure.
This repair procedure was designed by the major paint suppliers using their materials and application procedures. One of the materials used in this repair
is waterborne and requires that flash time be strictly followed to prevent material sensitivity concerns.

PANEL WITH A RED SCOTCH BRITE PAD. SAND ONLY AREAS THAT HAVE PAINT SURFACE IMPERFECTIONS, THEN
