Coating Spray Procedure

To protect the lower exposed painted fender, rocker, and quarter panel down flanges, the vehicle must be elevated high enough so that the painter can spray this area effectively. When an initial installation is to be made, a remote 1.89L (2 quart) capacity pressure cup makes a much more efficient tool, as the spray gun can be used closer to the floor. The spray gun, fluid hose and/or cup must be cleaned immediately after use. While lacquer thinner can be used when the suggested cleanup material is unavailable, the Multi-Purpose Paint Precleaner or equivalent is quicker and much more efficient. With the spray gun at 207 kPa (30 psi) and Rotunda Detached Pressure Cup 085-01617 or equivalent at 103 kPa (15 psi) follow this procedure:

1. Apply a wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash-off time.

2. Apply the second wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash-off time.

3. Apply the third wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash-off time.

4. Apply the final wet, sag-free coat. Allow 3 to 5 minutes flash-off time and pull off the Fine Line Tape, exposing the raw upper edge of the coating.

5. Immediately clean the spray equipment using Multi-Purpose Paint Precleaner VC-542-A or equivalent.

6. Allow at least two hours drying time at approximately 21°C (70°F).
