Additive materials
Variety of adhesive tapes
For profile, fine and large area masking work.
Properties:
• Withstands heat.
• Withstands water-based paint.
• Accepts paint.
• Easily removed without leaving adhesive
residues.
Masking film.
For masking of large areas on vehicles.
Properties:
• Accepts 2-component and water-based paints.
• Withstands heat.
• Withstands water spray and condensation.
• Withstands solvent.
• Easily cut.
• Environmentally friendly and can be recycled.
Polishing materials.
Polishing means microfine sanding. For this
reason, polishes must only contain abrasives, and
no silicones.
During polishing repair, a good shine is achieved
through the step-by-step use of polishes, starting
with a highly abrasive polish and ending with a
polish having very slight abrasive action.
Polishes are available in graduations from coarse
to fine.
Abrasives
Please refer to the "Tools" chapter
for
information
on
abrasives.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Paint Repairs
General information
There is a great difference between painting in
production and repair painting.
In production, only the bodyshell is painted, it has
no trim, upholstery or assemblies. Because of this,
other paints, tools and processing techniques can
be used.
In contrast to that used in production, paint used
in the workshop must dry at low temperatures.
Plastics and the vehicle electronics must not be
subjected to temperatures greater than 70°C.
The painting process in the case of repair work
consists of two phases:
• Pre-treatment of the surface for corrosion
protection and the smoothing of irregularities.
• Top coat application.
The precondition for a professional paint finish on
a vehicle is the permanently maintained cleanliness
of work spaces, tools and equipment,
Original materials must be worked according to the
manufacturer's instructions, so that no problems
arise in the processing nor during drying.
The room temperature must be 20 - 25°C and the
humidity must be low. Temperatures which are too
low or too high can lead to porosity, poor flow and
boiling. High humidity leads to paint damage such
as tarnishing of the paint film (matt film), adhesion
problems and craters.
Pre-treatment of the surface
Perfect preparation of the subsurface is the
precondition for a brilliant paintwork result. Faults
in the preliminary stages delay completion and
cause unnecessary extra work. The working steps
described here demonstrate how important it is to
follow these instructions step by step.
NOTE: Thorough cleaning of the vehicle and
especially of the area being repaired is particularly
important because of the danger of contamination
of the paint.
Clean the area of the damage
Clean the damaged surface thoroughly, to allow
the extent of the damage to be seen. Use silicone
remover to produce a grease-free surface.
NOTE: The treated surface must be rubbed with
a clean dry cloth before the solvent evaporates,
otherwise there will be no cleaning effect.
Effective de-greasing is important not only before
the application of paint, but also before all sanding
stages, for two reasons:
• During sanding of grease contaminated
surfaces, globules may form with the sanding
dust. Sanding marks will occur and the sanding
medium quickly becomes unuseable.
• Oil and grease are embedded by the action of
the abrasive particles, and are then very difficult
to remove.
Establish the area of damage and the repair
stages. In doing so, establish how much
disassembly work must be undertaken. Perform a
color test at this stage.
Mask off the area of the repair ready for
preparatory work.
Sand out the damage location

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
When sanding, produce smooth transitions from
the painted area to the bare metal.
Use an eccentric sander and P80 or P120 abrasive
sheets. Finish off sanding with P150 or P180. The
remaining adhering sanding dust must be
completely removed.
Cleaning, de-greasing
Use silicone remover to thoroughly clean the
surface in order to remove grease residues, sweat
from the hands and other contamination.
NOTE: Use a solvent test to establish whether the
old paint can be etched. Apply 2-component
thinners to the damaged area using a clean cloth
and rub lightly for about 1 minute. If the
subsurfaces can be etched away, special
pre-treatment is necessary. See "Tips and Tricks"
Apply primer filler
Before applying stopper, apply primer to the
sanded and bare surface.
Allow the primer to dry and then lightly sand by
hand using P220 - P400 dry.
NOTE: Most stopper can be applied directly to bare
metal. But application of a primer filler provides
better corrosion protection.
NOTE: Avoid sanding through to the bare metal.
Points which are sanded through must be retreated
with primer filler.
Stopper application
Pre-sand the hardened stopper using an eccentric
sander and P80 dry, then final-sand using P120 -
P140 dry. Clean the sanded surface using silicone
remover.
Apply 2-component stopper to the filled surface.
The stopper compound must only be applied thinly.
NOTE: Use of a testing powder is recommended
so that the sanding process can be more easily
checked.
Apply filler
Filler can now be applied to the dried repair area.
Choose the correctly toned filler according to the
manufacturer's instructions.
NOTE: Alternatively, filler with the correct tone can
be mixed with the aid of colour matching cards.

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
Sand the filler.
The working area is expanded by applying new
masking. This makes it possible to even out the
transition from the damage area to the vehicle
paintwork.
NOTE: The primer filler must be carefully sanded.
Faults in the primer filler layer will be visible in the
top coat.
The sanding process consists of two stages.
Coarse sanding levels out the surface of the filler
primer. Fine sanding ensures the necessary
surface structure which allows the top coat to
adhere well and cover sanding marks.
Sand the filler using the eccentric sander and P400
- P500 used dry. Clean the sanded filler finished
surface using silicone remover.
The painted area is matted using a fine matting
sponge, and then thoroughly cleaned.
Surface ready for paint
The surface which has been repaired and then
prepared according to the manufacturer's
instructions is now ready for basic paint application.
Top coat application
It is important for a good paint result that the
recommended process data is adhered to, i.e.
mixture proportions, layer thickness, viscosity,
drying time etc.
First of all the work area is carefully masked ready
for paint application. The correct adhesive materials
and techniques must be used so that no hard
transitions and edges are created during painting.
NOTE: The chapter "Tips and Tricks" gives
in-depth information on masking work.
Thoroughly check the surface once more and
rub-off with a dust-bonding cloth.
NOTE: Once more check the paint material and
that the spray gun is correctly adjusted before
applying the paint.
Paint application
The base paint is applied in two or three steps.
First of all only the repair area is painted with the
first paint application.
Flash off
Allow the paint application to flash off until the
surface has a matt appearance. So that the
transition to the original paint is optimally created,
the next paint application is applied to a wider area.
After the base paint has dried for the specified time,
the clear lacquer is applied. Next the transitions to
the original paintwork are treated with fade-out

DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION
remover. This removes the spray mist and forms
an ideal paint surface.
Repair stages for repair painting
The required time and material data is divided into
four painting levels for calculations concerning
repair painting. Proceed according to these
divisions for every calculation.
Level 1 - Painting of new components
On new components, all inner surfaces, seams
and edges which will no longer be seen after
assembly must be primed and pre-painted.
NOTE: The cathodic dip primer must not be sanded
away. Cleaning with silicone remover or light
sanding of the primer is all that is required.
Job steps:
• Wash off, prime and pre-paint inner surfaces,
seams and edges which cannot be reached at
all or only partly after the component is installed.
• Sand new component with P280 - P320 or a
fine sanding pad.
• Clean subsurface with silicone remover.
• Carry out masking work (when painting an
installed component).
• Apply one spray run of filler, dry.
• Sand the filler. P1200 wet or P500 dry.
• Clean filler application with silicone remover.
Then the prepared surface can be painted with
solid or 2-component paint.
If the new part has mild transport damage, this
must be rectified beforehand.
To do so, add the following steps:
• Grind out the scratch.
• Finely sand the surrounding surfaces.
• Use a steel cleaning agent to thoroughly clean
and then rub dry.
• Apply corrosion protection primer to the bare
areas.
Level II - Top surface painting (color tone matching)
Complete bodywork surfaces which are to be
painted without the need to apply stopper belong
to this group. In addition, surfaces with faults in the
top coat surface which cannot be removed by
polishing.
The following faults are included:
• Loss of gloss.
• Sanding scores.
• Heavy paint runs.
• Large dust and dirt inclusions.
The scope of the work is as follows:
• Sand the surface.
• Sand out paint damage and faults.
• Treatment of small areas which have been
sanded through.
• Masking work (when painting an installed
component).
• Apply top coat according to the painting process
(one or several coat process).
• Dry the top coat and perform finishing work.
Level III - Repair painting with stopper applied to up
to 50% of the surface.
If in addition to painting, work with stopper
application must be performed, then the repair
levels III or IV must be used.
In repair level III, apart from painting the complete
bodywork surface, partial stopper work is carried
out on up to 50% of the surface to be painted. The
necessary primer and filler work are also included.
The following damage must be rectified in this level:
• Slight panel unevenness.
• Damage due to corrosion.
• Dented body surfaces.
• Weld locations.
• Deep scores or scratches.
The scope of the work is as follows:
• Fine sand pre-treated bodywork surfaces (e.g.
lead-loaded areas).
• Sand out existing damage.
• Perform all necessary masking operations on
the vehicle.
• Apply primer.
• Partial stopper application on up to 50% of the
surface to be painted (two to a maximum of
three stopper applications).
• Fill the repair area.
• Apply stone chip protection (when present in
production).
• Apply top coat according to the painting process
(one or several coat process).
• Dry the top coat and perform finishing work.
