REPAIR OF PAINTED COACHLINES
Panel Preparation
Existing painted coachlines can be removed using a suitable soft cloth moistened with thinners and/or acetone.
New coachlines must be applied over the lacquer coat, using two-pack 'solid' paints (ie non-metallic).
NOTE: Lacquer must not be applied over the coachlines.
Where applicable, refinish the repaired panel(s), following Jaguar approved paint re-finishing procedures, including application and drying of the
two-pack lacquer coat.
Tape Application
Apply a suitable length of 3M "Fine Line Striping Tape" to the panel. Having suitably applied the tape, which is slit into 8 strips, each 3 mm wide, the
appropriate strip may then be peeled away to expose the lacquer coat below (Refer to Application of Striping Tape Drawing). The paint may then be
applied by hand brush or a suitable air-brush. The remaining tape provides masking during paint application and drying. Careful positioning of the
masking tape is necessary, particularly when the repair is confined to a single panel and the newly painted coachline must conform to coachlines on
adjacent panels.
Where it is necessary to match an existing 1.5 mm coachline, two techniques are available:
Proceed as above, to expose a 3 mm strip of lacquer coat. Using either a standard masking tape, or a 3M "Fine Line Masking Tape" applied over the
striping tape, reduce the width of the exposed strip to 1.5mm.
Use a suitable combination of standard masking tape, together with 3M "Fine Line Striping Tape" if desired, to achieve an unmasked strip 1.5 mm wide
in the correct position on the panel.
