Waxing

Before application check that the colour or the prepared paint corresponds exactly to the colour of the vehicle.

Waxing

Waxing is a supplementary protection for the boxed parts and serves to extend the protection against corrosion. It is applied through appropriate holes in the body.

Foam Treatment

Treatment with foam prevents the passage of air turbulence and sound-proofs the components treated in this way.

PAINTING OF REPLACED FIXED METAL SHEET (complete cycle)

The successive phases relative to the painting of replaced fixed metal sheet are as follows:

1. Preparation (washing, sanding and cleaning)
2. Surfacing
3. Sanding
4. Masking
5. Application of Primer (on bare metal)
6. Sealing
7. Application of undercoat
8. Sanding
9. Masking
10. Application of paints (paint and varnish)

• Wash the affected area, dry sand the cataphoresis, blow-off with compressed air, clean with a cloth soaked in a silicone-proof product and dry carefully.
• Surface any imperfections and leave to dry out.
• Sand, level the filler and carefully clean the treated areas.
• Mask the affected area, apply primer to the bare metal and allow to dry naturally.
• Apply the specified sealant to the mating surfaces and dry.
• Apply the undercoat and spy-coat (paint).
• Dry sand, remove the masking and blow-off with compressed air and clean with a silicone-proof product.
• Mask the area surrounding the sanded surfaces and adequately cover the remaining parts of the vehicle.
• Blow-off with compressed air and clean the surfaces with a tack-rag.
• Prepare and apply the paints (paint and varnish). For the flash-period between coats consult the manufacturers chart.

PAINTING OF REPLACED MOBILE METAL SHEET (complete cycle)

The successive phases relative to the painting of replaced mobile metal sheet are as follows:

1. Preparation (washing, sanding and cleaning)
2. Correction and/or surfacing if necessary
3. Sanding
4. Application of Primer (on bare metal)
5. Sealing
6. Application of undercoat
7. Sanding
8. Application of paints (paint and varnish)

• On a bench wash and dry sand the cataphoresis, blow-off with compressed air and clean with a cloth soaked in silicone-proof product, and allow to dry.
• Surface any imperfections and allow to dry completely.
• Sand, level the filler and carefully clean the treated surfaces.
• Apply the primer to the bare metal and allow to air-dry.
• Apply the specified sealant to the mating surfaces and dry.
• Apply the undercoat and spy-coat (paint)
• Dry sand, blow-off with compressed air and then clean with a silicone-proof product.
• Prepare and apply the paints (paint and varnish). (For the flash-period between coats consult the manufacturer's technical charts).
