Production Painted Plastic Parts (Exterior)

The overview of factory-installed painted plastic parts is available in the service instructions. The top coat of plastic parts is applied with a slightly thinner film of paint – compared to the exterior paintwork of the body – to obtain optimal stone-chip resistance.

•  Service:
To avoid changes in the coat of paint (cracks, wrinkles) thinner coats of paints must be applied when repairing paintwork in Service – as in production. This results in the desired level of flexibility and stone-chip resistance. Spraying on thicker coats of paint has an undesirable effect on the quality.

No plasticising additive is needed for VOC coats on hard and soft plastics. Up to 30% plastocryl can be added on elastic plastic.
