Before proceeding with any
work in the paint booth,
make sure all prep work is
complete and masking is
correctly applied.
INSPECT SANDING
•
Where BASECOAT COLOR will be
applied, check that the repair has been
sanded with P600 to 800 grit.
•
Where SEALER will be applied, check
that the repair has been sanded with
P400 to 600 grit.
•
Check that the BLEND AREA has been
sanded with P800 to 1000 grit.
CHECK FOR IMPERFECTIONS
•
Determine that no imperfections
exist that need to be corrected
before painting.
CLEAN AND TACK
•
Remove any dirt, dust, fingerprints,
and any other contaminants, using the
ONECHOICE
®
waterborne pre-cleaner.
TIPS:
Inspect sanded areas to validate sand
scratches won't show through the repair.
Deep scratches left after prep
will telegraph through sealer and
basecoat.
Ensure there are no pinholes in body
filler before proceeding.
Any roughness on feathered edges
must be sanded smooth before applying
sealer or basecoat.
Use gloves to prevent fingerprints.
Use an anti-static paint suit in the booth
to reduce excess dirt and fibers.
