External Paint Areas, Production Plastic Parts

1.   To ensure that the paint structure is permanent and that the lifetime and safety of the painted parts are not affected, always use the relevant paint system. The paint systems are described in detail in the current "Paint Repair Systems" brochures.
2.   The systems describe the application of paint to standard painted parts and new primed parts in conjunction with various painting stages. There is a risk of reduced adhesion when service painting unprimed plastic parts. When painting plastic parts, observe the application instructions specified in the paint system. Excessively thick layers of paint can change the specified mechanical and chemical design properties of the plastic.
