The result of painting small difficult parts often depends on
small details in preparation. These usually take very little time,
which is often not realised. The following tips should be regarded
as suggestions only. They are based on painting procedures.
Omega-B door handle:
Since the actuating shaft is caulked, the door handle cannot be
dismantled without destroying it.
Tip:
Lightly rub the surfaces with sanding mat. Lift the handle up
out of its recess. Clean it. Detach springs. Open the handle
against the shell. In this position, hold the shell down with
adhesive paper. Prime and paint.
Trim strips (screwed or bonded)
Do not lay trim strips directly on the support.
Colour will be missing at the contact points.
Tip:
Before painting, raise the strip 30 or 40mm above the
support.
Packing material is suitable for this.
Secure the strip and e.g. rigid foam with adhesive tape.
