Spackling and painting

Available in many types of body fillers, however, it should be noted that for this type of work is best attached with a set of body panels for repair putty paste placed in a tube of hardener. In order to achieve the smoothness and accuracy of the contour surface of the putty, paste should be applied to a flexible plastic or nylon applicator. Strictly following the manufacturers instructions (violation of them can result in incorrect congealed putty), mix a small amount of filler on a clean wooden or cardboard surface (carefully use a hardener).

Applicator, apply a plaster on a properly prepared surface of the damaged section of the body panels. To achieve the desired surface contour and the level of each stroke putty applicator must pass through the entire repair area. Once filled, the surface of the circuit will be close to the original, immediately cease to apply the putty as one stiffening will begin Podlipaev to the applicator, forming lumps and leaving the bully on the treated surface. Continue to apply the paste layers at intervals of about 20 minutes to as long as the level of the surface of the putty will not protrude slightly above the surrounding metal panel.

After hardening putty, excess of it can be removed with a file. Then begins the stage of sanding and polishing the surface of the putty. It is best suited for this purpose, waterproof sandpaper imported (because it complied with uniform grain abrasive and its good adhesion to the substrate). You start with a coarse-grained paper ?��180 and, progressive, reducing the graininess, check ?��600. To achieve adequate treatment surface flatness, should first paper wrapped around the bar of solid rubber (wood or foam) or sticked on it. During the processing of the paper should be regularly and frequently moistened with water. This technology allows to achieve an absolute smoothness and flatness of the surface being treated at the final stage.

At this stage, the treated surface damage must be surrounded by a ring of pure naked metal ending gradually tapering off the edge of a good paint. Rinse the treated surface with clean water, washing away from it all, formed during grinding, abrasive.

From an aerosol can apply to the treated surface a thin layer of light-colored coats. This will reveal all committed in the course of grinding defects that can be eliminated a layer of fresh putty. Repeat step sanding and polishing. Repeat enumerated processing steps (luting, processing and priming the surface) to obtain a satisfactory result. Upon completion, rinse the treated surface with water and dry it.

The surface is now ready for staining. Staining must be performed when the vehicle is stationary, dry, warm and dust-free air. The most fully meet these requirements and conditions of the closed volume of heated space. If circumstances force to carry out a body painting outdoors, you should seriously consider the choice of suitable weather conditions. When working indoors nail dust, sprinkling the floor with water. If you made a painting of a separate body panels of a vehicle, cover the surrounding undamaged panel. This precaution will minimize the effect of small differences in the colors of the old and fresh paint. Such trim elements as decorative chrome strips, door handles, and so on. N. Should cover (and better - rent). To protect the surface staining uninsurable use tape and old newspapers, which should be applied in several layers.

Before you start using an aerosol can of paint, carefully shake the spray, then sprinkle the surface of the paint trial, practicing the technique staining. Cover prepared for painting the surface with a thick layer of primer. The thickness to be achieved due to multiple priming thin layers. Sparing no water, waterproof sandpaper ?��600 treat primed surface, achieving absolute smoothness. Before proceeding to the final coloring, let the primer dry completely.

Apply a layer of decorative paint, again achieving thickness due to the multiplicity of its application. Staining start from the center of the repair area, making hand spray with circular movements, expanding their range in a spiral until until it is all covered the damaged area, plus a ring of surrounding good about five centimeters wide. After 10-15 minutes (preferably not later, so as not to damage the edge begins to freeze fresh paint) after the last coat of paint unstick covering the surrounding body panels newspaper and sticky tape. The paint is completely polymerized for about two weeks, after which, to smooth the transition of fresh paint, treat recovered surface is very fine sanding paste. Finally, apply a coat of wax on the panel.
