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 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 bumper.
-
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.
-
Spray the paint evenly over the surface so the replacement part is completely covered.
-
For application of the top coating refer to step 11 "Intermediate coating".
NOTE: Do not try to cover the surface with one heavy coat. Apply several thin coats.
-
With solid color (2-coat type), metallic color and pearl color enamels, allow final coat to flash-off (5-20 minutes) before applying clear coat.
-
Mix the additive into the clear in the ratio of 1 to 5.
Adding the hardener and adjusting viscosity should be done the same way as described on the previous page.
Viscosity. 68 degrees F (20 degrees C) 13-15 sec.
