Field Repair of Texture Paint
1.
The sheet metal should be washed and
clean of foreign material and then
thoroughly dried.
2.
Clean and remove all grease and wax
from the area to be painted using
Duponts 3900S Cleaner prior to sanding.
3.
Use 320 grit sanding paper to repair any
scratches or defects necessary.
4.
Scuff sand the entire area to be painted
with a red scotch brite pad.
5.
Wipe the area clean using Duponts
3900S.
6.
Blow and tack the area to be painted.
7.
Apply a smooth coat of Duponts 1854S
Tuffcoat Primer to all bare metal areas
and allow to dry.
8.
Apply 2 medium -- wet coats of Duponts
222S Adhesion Promoter over the entire
area to be painted, with a 5 minute flash
in between coats.
9.
To apply the texture coat, use Duponts
1854S Tuffcoat Primer. The proper
technique to do this is to spray the
Tuffcoat Primer using a pressure pot and
use about 2--5 pounds of air pressure.
This will allow the primer to splatter
causing the textured look. Note: you
must be careful not to put too much
primer on at one time, this will effect the
amount of texture that you are trying to
achieve. Allow the texture coat to flash
for 20 minutes or until dry to touch.
10.
Apply any of Duponts Topcoat Finishes
such as Imron
t
or Centari
t
according
to the label instructions.
Note: To re--topcoat the textured surfaces
when sheet metal repairs are not
necessary, follow steps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and
10.
