Replacement Parts Refinishing Steel

REPLACEMENT PARTS REFINISHING STEEL

Steel service replacement parts are painted with a high-bake factory primer. To duplicate factory painted appearance, refinish all visible structural areas with 50 percent gloss black topcoat. For proper adhesion of color coats in service, the following refinishing steps are necessary.

1. Clean part with a wax and grease removing solvent such as PPG D837, Acryli-Clean(TM) or equivalent.
2. Scuff-sand panel lightly with wet or dry 400 grade sandpaper and water. Avoid cut-throughs. Wipe part clean. Apply Acrylic Sealer D825 or equivalent to entire part.
3. Apply color and clear coats to part.
4. If factory primer coat was cut through on a metal part, apply metal conditioner to exposed bare metal. Follow label directions.
5. Apply PPG-D839 Urethane Primer Surfacer to entire part; allow to dry thoroughly before sanding. Follow label directions for drying time.
6. Sand primer surfacer using wet or dry 400 grade sandpaper and water.
7. Apply color and clear coats to part.

IMPORTANT: Saturn service replacement doors are pre-painted with a 50 percent gloss black in the door header area.
