Paint: Description and Operation
DESCRIPTION OF THE DELIVERABLE PAINT FINISHING QUALITY AND REPAIR POINTS TO REMEMBER
a. DESCRIPTION OF THE DELIVERABLE PAINT FINISHING QUALITY
1. Wet sanding is conducted after applying the intermediate coat to create a paint appearance with the texture and luster consistent with the
quality of the Lexus brand. This improves the smoothness and luster of the clear coat and ensures an appearance quality that is one level above
the Toyota brand.
2. Although there is a difference in the appearance quality in the texture and luster compared to Toyota brand vehicles, there is no change in the
type of paint used.

b. POINTS TO REMEMBER WHILE REPAIRING
1. Although it is possible to repair using the same repair procedure as used previously, it is necessary to apply a clear coat and sand with an
emphasis on recreating the smoothness of the texture and creating a coat of the appropriate thickness.
-
Before repairing, after confirming the texture of the surrounding panels, sand and paint the panel to match the texture.
-
For deeper colors, make sure to apply a coat of the appropriate thickness and to match up the texture with surrounding panels (undamaged
areas).
HINT: In certain cases, matching up the texture and luster by applying a double clear coat based on the number of panels (area) to be painted
will reduce the work time because sanding requires additional work time.
