Parisienne V8-305 5.0L (1985)
FIGURE 4 - BODY IDENTIFICATION PLATE
Before you begin making repairs, you must determine whether the factory finish is acrylic lacquer or acrylic enamel. To do this, check the body
identification plate or the service parts label on the vehicle (Figure 4).
For identification of acrylic lacquer paint, the letter "L" or the word "Lacquer" will be used. For the acrylic enamels, the letter "W" or the word "Water"
will designate water-borne acrylic enamel. Also, the letter "E" or the word "Enamel" can be used to designate the paint type as acrylic enamel, solvent
reduced.
DIRT-NIB FABRICATION
Fabrication of Dirt-Nib File
1.
Break vixen file into 1-1/2 inch long lengths. See Figure 5.
2.
Dress of sharp ends off.
3.
Place 400 to 500 grit sandpaper on flat surface and draw file in fore-aft motions until file teeth are smooth (a light machine oil hastens the
operation). Check file on a painted surface. It should remove the nib and leave no scratches.
