Description and Usage of Paint Literature

Vehicle paints are subject to severe demands
caused by external influences. Moisture, air-borne
deposits in the form of various chemicals and UV
light constantly affect a paint surface. Furthermore,
mechanical damage occurs through grit, stones
and sand. Bird droppings, insect residues, pollen
and tree sap also attack the paint surface.

The present literature not only informs the specialist
about current repair painting techniques, but also
provides tips and instructions on modern and
economical repair processes.

High quality bodywork paints require the use of the
most modern technologies and regular updating
of the technician's knowledge of painting
techniques, because of the constantly new
developments in paint technology.

Information about different materials is listed under
Specification.

Furthermore, information on the fundamental
principles of repair painting and paint materials is
provided in several chapters. The safety
instructions indicate the possible health hazards
and other sources of danger. There are also notes
about tools and materials as well as on basic
painting methods.

In the model specific repair instructions, only the
most important repair steps or special features are
referred to. Detailed information on the generally
applicable painting procedures is given in this paint
manual.

Direct supply of repair paints by Ford has been
discontinued. There is however an agreement with
many paint manufacturers, which ensures fast and
problem-free supply to the dealer undertakings.

Paint suppliers:

• DuPont

• Glasurit

• PPG

• Sikkens

• Spies Hecker

• Standox

When using painting materials, it should be taken
into account that the manufacturers have exactly
matched their products between each other. In
order to avoid quality defects, difficulties in working
and losses in corrosion protection, these may not
be substituted with other products.

NOTE: The Ford Service Organization organizes
basic and more in-depth training on much of the
content of this paint manual. As well as the
practical part of the training, a further component
is the Student Information document, which offers
supplementary information in the form of a
brochure.

During all work it must always be ensured that
personal safety and the operational capability of
the vehicle are not threatened by the choice of
methods, tools and components.

The information given in the diagrams in the
chapter "Paint Damage" is provided by the repair
paint manufacturer.
