Introduction
Painting a vehicle protects the metal from corroding and
maintains the vehicle's appearance. The importance of paint in
order to protect against corrosion and maintain the value is
evident for the vehicle owner. It is the job of the painter, when
carrying out the paint repairs, to paint the body parts (body sheet
metal parts and plastic exterior parts) in such a way that no
differences in colour compared to the factory paintwork can be
determined.
Due to continued development in paint chemistry, highly advanced
paint pigments and bonding agents are used, resulting in colours
appropriate to contemporary taste and current design. For this
reason, painting techniques for service paint repairs must be
continuously refined with respect to the level of colour matching
to be accomplished.
This publications describes the blending system (blend-in
painting / touching up) for colour matching and the painting of
partial areas in addition to the standard spraying techniques.
The colour and degree of gloss of the paint may alter as a
result of improper care, the environment, weathering or difficult
driving conditions. This generally leads to paint repair
difficulties with older vehicles.
The products in our sales programme make paint repairs of the
highest visual and substantive quality possible.
The special feature of paint repair products is that they are
intermediaries. The final product, the "COAT OF PAINT", is produced
only after the surface in question has been prepared, hardeners and
thinners have been incorporated in the prescribed mixing ratio and
drying times have been observed.
