Examples of Paint Defects
Examples of paint defects
Code 62 - Sealant, adhesive or primer residue
Cause
-
Substance applied too liberally. Panel deformed after application.
Action
-
Remove the residue then apply primer first, then new amount of substance and repaint.
Code 63 - Corrosion, smooth surfaces
Cause
-
mechanical damage to the panel (stone chips)
-
moisture and water drops on clean panel before painting
-
finger marks on clean panel
Action
-
Stone chips which have not developed creeping corrosion should be dealt with as recommended in the vehicle instruction manual. If damage is
extensive or if due to moisture, water or marks originating from the manufacturing process before paint spraying, sand down to the panel and
rebuild the paintwork from scratch.
-
Some customers believe stone chips caused by studded tires are due to defective paintwork. A useful rule when inspecting and discussing with
customers is to compare the vehicle headlights, windshield etc. with paint on the surfaces where there is a risk of stone chip damage.
Code 64 - Corrosion at seams
Cause
-
Sub-standard welding, defective welding agent, gap in weld allowing moisture to penetrate and defective adhesive.
Action
-
Sand-blast and repaint the seam. Once paint is dry, treat seam with rustproofing agent.
-
Treat inside of seam with penetrating rustproofing liquid.
Code 64 - Creeping corrosion
Cause
-
Creeping or filiform corrosion occurs when the paint surface is missing for various reasons, e.g cracked panel or stone chips and continues to
spread if the panel is not pre-treated to prevent this.
Action
-
Sand down to panel in corroded area and repaint.
Code 80 - Color defect, blotches in paint
