Flexible Plastic Parts

FLEXIBLE PLASTIC PARTS

All exterior flexible plastic parts used on Saturn automobiles are a thermoplastic olefin (TPO) compound. Refinishing requires the use of flexible additives in the primer surfacer and clear coat. Flex additives need not be used in the basecoat. Additionally, 3M(R) Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter P/N 5907 or D820 (or equivalent) must be used over all bare surfaces.
