-- CAUTION --
Wipe solvents are generally flammable and toxic
and should not be used without adequate ventila-
tion and fire precautions.
C. Apply epoxy primer to cleaned area by spray or
brush. If area needs to have a finish coat applied it
should be applied within time frame specified by epoxy
primer manufacturer.
20--00--03 -- PAINTING
The exterior is painted with urethane enamel. When ex-
posed to humid salt air or to an atmosphere having cor-
rosive fallout, the aircraft should be hangared when not
in use.
1. Paint Repairs.
A. Materials.
(1) Aluminum wool, nylon scouring pads, 320 grit
or finer emery cloth or steel wool.
(2) Tack rags.
(3) Wipe solvents such as: methyl--ethyl--ke-
tone, T--657 -- (Turco Products, Inc.); #3094 wash thin-
ner -- (Sherwin--Williams); lacquer thinner or equivalent
solvents.
(4) Body putty or aerodynamic filler such as:
Flex--Bond -- (Taylor & Art Plastics); Flex -- (3M Co.); or
Cuz polyester body filler #6372 -- (NAPA [Martin Se-
nour Paints]).
(5) Compatible paints for the item (such as steel
tubular structure or exterior skin) and for the year and
model being repainted. (Refer to Mooney Illustrated
Parts Catalog).
(6) Thinners which are compatible with paints
being used, both for paint thinning and for burn--down
thinners.
B. Cleaning Procedures.
NOTE:
Fiberglass components are attacked and deterio-
rated by products containing the following chem-
icals: Ketone, aliphatic esters, chlorinated hydro-
carbons and slightly softened by most aromatic
hydrocarbons.
(1) Fuel Servicing Decal Removal:
(a) Cover the decal with a hot, wet towel for
approximately 2 minutes.
(b) Lift one corner of the decal and slowly re-
move.
(2) Remove all old loose paint by one of the fol-
lowing methods:
(a) On aluminum -- for uniformity of finish ap-
pearance, the entire skin panel should be prepared for
repainting. If the paint is in very bad condition or if a filler
is to be used, remove all of the paint by use of lacquer
thinner, MEK or similar solvent. Careful application of
paint stripper is acceptable. The solvent should be
wiped on and wiped off before it evaporates. If the sol-
vent is allowed to evaporate, it will redeposit the soils
and paint that were being carried. Any scouring re-
quired should be done at this point. Scouring with nylon
pads or aluminum wool may be done dry or wet with
one of the wipe solvents listed above. After the old
paint, grime, etc. has been loosened and removed, the
scoured area should be wiped with a tack rag, and
again cleaned with fresh wipe solvent. The part should
now be ready for priming and painting.
(b) On steel -- Remove all grease, grime, loose
paint, etc. by wiping with a wipe solvent and rags. Do
not allow the wipe solvent to evaporate. Wipe it dry!
Steel parts may be cleaned to bare metal by sanding
with emery cloth or steel wool. If the parts are remov-
able, they can be cleaned by sandblasting. Regardless
of the scouring method, all parts should be wiped with a
tack rag and cleaned with fresh wipe solvent. The part
should now be ready for priming and painting.
C. Priming and Painting.
(1) On aluminum -- Cleaned and dried surfaces
to be painted should be coated with a wash primer con-
forming to MIL--C--8514 or MIL--P--15328. Read and
follow the manufacturer’s instructions carefully. The
wash primer should be applied to attain a dry film thick-
ness of 0.3 to 0.4 mils (a transparent film). A good wash
primer coating is a must since the top coating can be
only as good as the primer coat. As a general rule the
wash primer should dry from .05 to 1.5 hours but not
more than 2 hours before application of the top or inter-
mediate primer coat.
When an intermediate epoxy primer coat is applied, it
should be mixed very carefully per the manufacturer’s
instructions. It should be thinned per the manufactur-
er’s instructions and applied to a dry film thickness of
0.8 to 1.0 MILS. The intermediate primer should be al-
lowed to dry a minimum of 0.5 to 1.5 hours depending
upon the application temperature and relative humidity.
Follow manufacturer’s instructions. The intermediate
primer coat can be dry--scuffed lightly with No. 400 to
No. 600 sandpaper prior to top coat application to pro-
vide a higher gloss finish. As many coats of paint as de-
sired may be applied. A higher gloss will be attained if
the surface is scuffed lightly and tack rage cleaned be-
tween each coat.
(2) On steel -- The same general procedure used
on aluminum can be applied to steel. However,
MIL--P--8585 primer or epoxy primer is recommended
for the steel coat. If epoxy primer is used, it should have
a wash primer (MIL--C--8514) pre--treatment.
D. Painting.
(1) Apply three coats of white base and/or finish
color, allowing three to five minutes between coats de-
pending upon weather conditions. Allow five to ten min-
utes between coats in cold, dry weather; in humid
weather, allow fifteen minutes between coats.
