coats minimum recommended, allowing 30 - 45
minutes between coats, increasing to 45 - 60 min
utes in higher humidity) using brush on touch-up
paint, until coating layer is visible, slightly above the
surface of the part.
Ill. Use 400 grit "wet" sand paper to blend touch up
area level with the rest of the part being repaired.
Use a polishing compound (3M Finesse or automo
tive grade) to renew gloss and to further blend and
transition newly painted surface.

V.
(Optional but recommended) Follow this process
with clear coat to renew and protect depth of finish.

Larger Scratches
For larger scratches, E-Z-GO suggests the following
steps be taken to repair the Durashield
™
body:
I.
Thoroughly clean the surface to be repaired with
alcohol and dry.
II. Mask the area to be painted (common masking tape
is adequate) prior to repair and use aerosol type
touch-up paint.
Ill. Apply spray touch up paint in light even overlapping
strokes. Multiple coats may be applied to provide
adequate coverage and finish. Always remember to
shake the can for a minimum of one minute to mix
the paint and achieve the best color match.
IV. After painting, allow to dry overnight. Smooth the
mask lines using 400 grit "wet" sand paper to blend
touch up area level with the rest of the part being
repaired. Use a polishing compound (3M Finesse or
automotive grade) to renew gloss and to further

with clear coat to renew and protect depth of finish.
VII. Wax or polish with Carnauba base product, avail-
able at any automotive parts distributor.
Complete Panel Repair
In situations where large panels or areas must be
painted, touch up paint is not recommended. In such
cases professional painting or panel replacement is
called for. E-Z-GO suggests body panel replacement be
considered as a cost effective alternative to painting. If
the decision to repaint is taken, the task can be accom
plished by any paint and body shop with experience in
painting 'TPE' panels. TPE is a common material in mod
ern automobile bodies and all body shops should be
familiar with the materials and processes required.
The finish will include an application of a primer coat, a
base color coat and a clear coat. E-Z-GO does not sup
ply these materials due to the variety of paint manufac
turers and the preferences of the individual painter.
Most paint manufacturers can perform a computer paint
match to assure accurate color matching.
