1. After force drying, wet-sand the primer surface with #600 sandpaper.
NOTE: Use #600 or finer sandpaper as any paper coarser than this might scratch the surface.
WARNING:
-
Do not use high air pressure; use only an approved, 210 kPa (2.1 kg/sq.cm, 30 psi) air nozzle.
-
Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
2. Air blow the surface to be repaired, then degrease with a wax and grease remover.
3. Also clean and degrease where masking tape will be attached.
11. Intermediate coating
NOTE: Intermediate coating is recommended for bright colors.
-
Use the top coat enamel.
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.
-
Mix the additive into the solid enamel color, metallic enamel or pearl enamel color in the ratio of 1 to 5 (by weight).
-
Mix the hardener into the mixture of pigment and additive described above in the ratio of 1 to 4 (by weight).
NOTE: Keep the correct ratio, especially of the additive. Excessive additive takes longer to dry.
-
Adjust to the proper viscosity for spray by adding the thinner specified for the primer into the mixture of primer additive and hardener.
Viscosity: 68 degrees F (20 degrees C) 11-13 sec.
NOTE: It is not necessary to apply the clear coat.
-
Spray 2-3 coats of the top coat enamel to get 15-20 microns of thickness. The primer surfacer (gray) should not show through the top coat.
NOTE:
-
Apply the top coat enamel to the repaired surface.
-
Apply the top coat enamel to the entire surface of the primer surfacer when replacement is necessary.
12. Degreasing and Cleaning
Air dry the entire surface, then clean with a wax and grease remover (for USA usage-DuPont 38125 Enamel Reducer).
NOTE: For shading or spot painting, polish the area with a polishing compound. Also sand with a #1500 paper to make a better bonding surface
for the paint.
13. 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 skirt.
-
Use brown paper or masking roll paper to cover.
NOTE:
-
Mask the area completely to prevent overspray.
-
Protect resin parts with aluminum foil under the brown paper or masking paper to prevent damage due to heat during baking.
14. Top Coating
-
Air dry 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.
-
Remove dust and dirt from the surface to be coated with compressed air, then use a tack cloth.
-
Use a strainer when filling the cup with paint.
