Before painting, newly installed parts are lightly sanded for better adhesion and primed with EF-083. The remaining operations are carried out according to the previously described painting technology.
The parts, straightened and ground to the metal, are covered with GF-073 primer and ML-197 enamel is immediately applied over the wet primer. The loss of gloss will not exceed 5%, but the coating will have good adhesion and high anti-corrosion properties.
Minor damage in one place can be repaired by touching up with two layers of ML-197 enamel supplied with the car. In this case, it is necessary to follow the instructions on the can label. It should be borne in mind that the freshly painted surface will always differ in shade from the rest of the body surface, since the color depends on the painting and drying mode of the paintwork, the duration of vehicle operation, and other factors. The damaged area is sanded with 55C 4-P sandpaper with water from the damaged area to the edges with a smooth transition. The sanding should be 10-15 mm wider than the painted area, so that after polishing the noticeable border of the painted area is minimized. If the primer layer is not damaged, degrease the surface with a rag soaked in white spirit, and touch up the prepared surface. When sanding to the metal, after degreasing, apply GF-073 primer and ML-197 paint. If necessary, use putty or soldering.
It is important to remember that you cannot paint over the old layer of nitro enamel with synthetic enamel. It must be removed mechanically or with washes.
