VEHICLE

DATA/VEHICLE INFORMATION/VEHICLE CERTI-
FICATION LABEL - DESCRIPTION) or the Body

INFORMATION/BODY CODE PLATE - DESCRIP-
TION). The first digit of the paint code listed on the
vehicle indicates the sequence of application, i.e.: P =
primary coat, Q = secondary coat. The color names

provided in the Paint and Trim Code Description
chart are the color names used on most repair prod-

tion

(E-coat),

anti-chip

primer,

basecoat,

and

clearcoat steps.

On most vehicles a two-part paint application

(basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is
applied to primer is called basecoat. The clear coat
protects the basecoat from ultraviolet light and pro-
vides a durable high-gloss finish.

CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or com-
pounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish can
result.
Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents
on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or color can
result.

PAINT TOUCH-UP

DESCRIPTION

When a painted metal surface has been scratched

or chipped, it should be touched-up as soon as possi-
ble to avoid corrosion. For best results, use MOPAR

Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch-Up Paints and Clear Top
Coat. (Refer to VEHICLE DATA/VEHICLE INFOR-
MATION/BODY CODE PLATE - DESCRIPTION) for
Body Code Plate information.

WARNING: USE AN OSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR
AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SPRAYING PAINT
OR SOLVENTS IN A CONFINED AREA. PERSONAL
INJURY CAN RESULT.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PAINT TOUCH-UP

(1) Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside

scratch or chip.

(2) Clean affected area with MOPAR

t Tar/Road

Oil Remover or equivalent, and allow to dry.

(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat

of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good sur-
face finish. The applicator brush should be wet
enough to puddle-fill the scratch or chip without run-
ning. Do not stroke brush applicator on body surface.
Allow the filler/primer to dry hard.

(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up

paint. Do not overlap touch-up color onto the original
color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the new
color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke
applicator brush on body surface. Allow touch-up
paint to dry hard.

(5) On vehicles without clearcoat, the touch-up

color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and
polished with rubbing compound.

(6) On vehicles with clearcoat, apply clear top coat

to touch-up paint with the same technique as
described in Step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard.
If desired, Step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.

ING

FINESSE SANDING/BUFFING &
POLISHING

DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Do not remove more than .5 mils of
clearcoat finish, if equipped. Basecoat paint must
retain clearcoat for durability.
Use a Paint Thickness Gauge #PR-ETG-2X or equiv-
alent to determine film thickness before and after
the repair.

Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in

clearcoat or single-stage finishes can be reduced with
light finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polishing. If
the finish has been finesse sanded in the past,
it cannot be repeated. Finesse sanding opera-
tion should be performed by a trained automo-
tive paint technician.
