Paint: Service and Repair
Intermediate Coating
Intermediate Coating
1. Masking
Mask the area surrounding the damage to prevent over spray from the intermediate coat.
Use masking tape and paper.
2. Spraying top coat enamel Spray the top coat enamel over the surface until the primer surfacer is fully covered.
-
Use a 2-part polyester urethane top coat enamel and a spray gun.
-
Mix the top coat enamel with the additive and solvent, and in the correct ratio.
-
Follow the top coat manufacturer's instructions.
3. Drying
After spraying top coat enamel, allow for 5-10 minutes of normal drying time, then force dry it with infrared lamps or an industrial dryer.
NOTE: Follow the top coat manufacturer's instruction for drying time.
4. Polishing
Check that the top coat enamel has dried thoroughly, then sand the top coat enamel.
Use a double action sander and #600-#800 disc sandpaper.
NOTE: Be careful not to polish down to the primer surfacer.
When the painting repair is almost done, polish the area that will be top coated.
Use a #2000 sandpaper and compound.
5. Air blowing/degreasing
Use alcohol, and wax, and grease remover.
Also clean and degrease surfaces where the masking tape will be attached.
