13. Polishing of Intermediate Coat
-
Check that the paint coat has dried thoroughly, then dry or wet sand the surface with a #600 and #800 paper.
NOTE: Use a rubber block and sand flat and smooth, being careful not to expose the undercoat.
Polishing of Top Coat (if damaged):
Use the same technique described above.
14. Air Blowing/Degreasing
WARNING:
-
Do not use high air pressure; use only an approved, 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/sq.cm, 30 psi) air nozzle.
-
Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
-
Air blow the entire surface, then degrease with wax and grease remover (for USA usage-Dupont 38125 Enamel Reducer).
-
For shading or spot painting, polish the area with a polishing compound. Sand with a #2000 paper to give a better bonding surface for the
subsequent paint.
15. Masking
-
Remove all existing masking paper, then mask with new paper.
-
Use a heat resistant type masking tape (SCOTCH TAPE) where tape is attached directly to the body.
-
Use brown paper or masking roll paper to cover.
NOTE:
-
Mask the area surrounding the damage sufficiently to prevent overspray. It is also a good practice to use a vinyl cover to protect other areas.
-
Protect resin parts with aluminum foil under the brown paper or masking paper to prevent damage due to heat during baking.
16. Application of Top Coat Spraying/Drying
-
Prior to putting the car in the painting booth, thoroughly clean the interior and spray water over the floor. Be careful about blowing dust and
dirt.
WARNING:
-
Do not use high air pressure; use only an approved, 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/sq.cm, 30 psi) air nozzle.
-
Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
-
Air blow and degrease the surface before spraying the paint. Also clean the surface with a tack cloth.
WARNING:
-
Ventilate when spraying paint. Most paint contains substances that are harmful if inhaled or swallowed. Read the paint label before
opening the paint container.
-
Avoid contact with skin. Wear an approved respirator, gloves, eye protection and appropriate clothing when painting.
-
Paint is flammable. Store it in a safe place, and keep it away from sparks, flames or cigarettes.
-
Spray color matched top coat over the prepared surface. Apply 2-3 coats in two directions until the intermediate coat is fully covered.
NOTE: For application of the top coat, refer to step 12
"Application of Intermediate Coat."
Solid color: Color enamel + Color clear coat
Metallic color: Metallic enamel + Clear coat
Pearl color: Pearl enamel + Clear coat
WARNING: Body parts being dried with an industrial dryer can get hot enough to cause injury. Do not touch parts being dried.
-
After spraying, allow the paint to settle for about 10 minutes, then force dry with an infrared lamp.
NOTE: Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.
17. Polishing/Buffing
-
Let the paint dry gradually, then polish the surface carefully using a polishing compound and sponge buff.
-
To remove lint or dirt, wet sand the surface with #2000 paper or finer first, then polish with compound.
NOTE: Polish all roughness caused by sanding thoroughly. To do this, first polish with very fine compound, then with ultra fine compound.
