Poly (Vinyl Chloride) Parts
Refinishing Procedures1. Base material reconditioning (sanding)
-1. Repaint and replacement part
Lightly sand the part with #400, #600 or #800.
-2. Slight scores or scratches
Use a flexible sanding block and wet sand the damaged section with #400 #600.
NOTE: Sand level to remove damage.
-3. Deep scratches, when filling.
Use a flexible sanding block and wet sand the damaged section with #120 or #240.
2. Degreasing, and cleaning
Clean the repaired area with wax and grease remover, then blow with air to dry.
WARNING:
- Do not use high air pressure; use only an approved, 210kPa (2.1 kgf/sq.cm,30 psi) air nozzle.
- Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
NOTE: Wipe dust off the surface with a tack cloth.
3. Primer application
- Apply to deep scratches and areas to be filled. This procedure might not be required with some products.
- Spray an area larger than the damaged section (i.e. area to be filled) with 2-3 coats.
NOTE: Follow the manufacturer's specification.
4. Filling, drying and sanding
- Apply the filler in several thin coats.
NOTE: Mix and apply the filler according to the manufacturer's instructions.
- Dry the filler with an infrared dryer for 5 or 6 minutes.
- Be sure to keep the dryer 40-50 cm (16-20 in) away from the surface.
- Scratch the filled surface with your nail. If the surface is white when scratched, dry sand and wet sand with the #120 or #240 paper. Be sure to sand level.
5. Cleaning with compressed air, and degreasing
Blow the entire area to be coated with compressed air, then clean with wax and grease remover.
WARNING:
- Do not use high air pressure; use only an approved, 210 kPa (2.1 kgf/sq.cm, 30 psi) air nozzle.
- Wear goggles or safety glasses to prevent eye injury.
NOTE: Clean the whole surface to help the masking tape adhere securely.
6. Masking
Use the masking tape and paper to mask the area that should not be sprayed.
7. Coating with primer surfacer and drying
- Spray the primer surfacer over the filled area.
- The coating thickness should be 20-25 microns.
NOTE: Refer to the manufacturer's instruction manual and handle the primer surfacer properly.
- Let the primer surfacer dry naturally for 5 to 10 minutes, then dry with an infrared dryer.
WARNING: Body parts being dried with an industrial dryer can get hot enough to cause injury. Do not touch parts being dried.
- Be sure to keep the dryer 40-50 cm (16-20 in) away from the paint film.
8. Sanding, and cleaning
Lightly wet-sand the whole area to be painted with #400, #600 or #800 sandpaper. Blow off with compressed air, then clean with wax and grease remover.
9. Top coating
