Notes: • To identify a car with a scratch resistant finish like CeramiClearTM, please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A

and to the section "Mercedes-Benz Color Information".

• A "C" before the color code indicates that this car has been sprayed with a scratch resistant clearcoat like PPG's CeramiClearTM.

• From January 1st 2010 all new model series will no longer have the “C” before the color code. All new models except A, B and vans will then use a scratch resistant clearcoat (nano technology or reflow).

• In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClearTM.

• If a damaged part has to be repaired without replacing it, it is absolutely necessary to sand the scratch resistant OE clearcoat thoroughly. Superficial sanding can result in adhesion problems.

• Panel repair - also of adjacent parts – is recommended for optimum scratch resistance!

• PPG CeramiClearTM as a scratch resistant clearcoat requires a special process for removing dust and polishing. Please refer to the "Special Repair System S-05" to find a detailed description.

• CeramiClearTM is a registered Trademark of PPG Industries Inc.

Notes: • To identify a car with a scratch resistant finish like CeramiClearTM, please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A

and to the section "Mercedes-Benz Color Information". • A "C" before the color code indicates that this car has been sprayed with a scratch resistant clearcoat like PPG's CeramiClearTM. • In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint

the plastic parts also with CeramiClearTM. • If a damaged part has to be repaired without replacing it, it is absolutely necessary to sand the scratch resistant OE clearcoat thoroughly.

Superficial sanding can result in adhesion problems. • Panel repair - also of adjacent parts – is recommended for optimum scratch resistance!

• PPG CeramiClearTM as a scratch resistant clearcoat requires a special process for removing dust and polishing. Please refer to the "Special Repair System S-05" to find a detailed description.

• CeramiClearTM is a registered Trademark of PPG Industries Inc.

Special Paint Repair System S-01-GBL

A- and B-Class: Warranty repair system with flattable Surfacer, for rub-through areas on metal substrates

The Mercedes-Benz "A" series cars (types 168, 169) and “B” series cars (type 245) are finished with a slurry type powder coating (generation I and generation II) that can cause problems when sanded through and recoated. The featheredge of this clearcoat can be extremely solvent sensitive. The following process will avoid any such problems when repairing this paint system.

• Sand out the defects and featheredge the clear very carefully using P400 to P600 dry (or P800 to P1200 wet) grade sanding paper. • Clean with D8401 waterborne cleaner, and dry. DO NOT use a solventborne degreaser, as this can cause swelling of the OE waterborne

basecoat featheredge. • Infrared the repair area for 3 minutes, and cool. • Reclean using D8401. • If the damage is through down to the substrate use waterborne EP primer Deltron D8012 (followed by Galvaplast 77 in the case of dents). • Be careful only to cover the substrate; any covering of the featheredge should be sanded carefully using P400 to P600 dry (or P800 to

Special Paint Repair System S-05-GBL

CeramiClear: Sanding-, Fade-out and Polishing Process

PPG CeramiClear™ Deltron D8105 and D8122 are scratch resistant clearcoats and require a special process for sanding of the OE finish, for removing dirt particles and for polishing (fade-out process). Due to the hard surface it is absolutely necessary to be very careful when repairing a vehicle with an OE CeramiClear™ finish.

Deltron D8105 and D8122 can be polished after drying for 30 minutes at 60°C and cooling down.

PPG recommends to polish D8105 within 1 to 2 hours up to 5 days after painting. Polishing after a longer time period leads to a strong increase of work and time. CeramiClear™ – Repair Process (Pretreatment of OE Finish)

Clean the OE finish thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt. Clean the surface with D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe or D845 (DX310) High Strength Degreaser. If PPG Envirobase is going to be used, clean with D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner.

Dry sanding: start with 3M™ Hook-it™ 255P Gold grade P500 with an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 mm). Depending on the hardness of the OE finish paper grade P320 – P400 together with an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 5mm) can be used (alternative abrasives: 3M™ Hook-it™ Purple Premium).

Clean the surface again with D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe or D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner.

CeramiClear™ – Blending of Basecoat, Clearcoat Application complete Part

Clean the OE finish thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt. Clean the surface with D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe or D845 (DX310) High Strength Degreaser. If PPG Envirobase is going to be used, clean with D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner.

Sand the surface with an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 – 5 mm) and with 3M™ Hook-it™ 260L grade P800 – P1200; sand edges and borders again with 3M™ Soft Pad ultrafine

Clean the surface again with D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe or D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner.

CeramiClear™ – Fade-out Procedure

Clean the OE finish thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt. Clean the surface with D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe or D845 (DX310) High Strength Degreaser. If PPG Envirobase is going to be used, clean with D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner.

Blending Area Basecoat Blending Area Clearcoat (Fade-out Area)

Sand the surface with an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 – 5 mm) and with 3M™ Hook-it™ 260L grade P800 – P1200; sand edges and borders again with 3M™ Soft Pad ultrafine

Moist sanding of the blending area with an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 mm) and 3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ fine sanding disc P3000 supported by a preparation gel, e.g. 3M™ Matt Gel or 3M™ Prep & Blend

Moist sanding of the fade-out area with 3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ fine sanding disc P3000 and an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 mm). The surface must be 100 % matt. Do not use Scotchbrite! The fade-out area must be sanded sufficiently large.

Clean the surface again with D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe or D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner.

CeramiClear™ – Fade-out Procedure (cont.)

Deltron D8105: for detailed information see technical datasheet "RLD170V"

Deltron D8122: for detailed information see technical datasheet "RLD195"

Apply CeramiClear™ D8105 / D8122 as usual and fade out into the matted blending area. Do not apply the clearcoat on the unsanded surface!

Only D8105: Mix the ready-for-use CeramiClear™ approx. 1 : 3 with CeramiClear™ Fade-out Thinner D8425.

Only D8105: Apply the thinned CeramiClear™ in light coats over the fade-out area (always stay in the matted area!). Apply enough to give a smooth edge.

Fade-out D8122 with Deltron Aerosol Fade-out Thinner D8730 or D8429 (RLD199V).

Flash-off time before forced drying at 20°C: 10 minutes

Forced drying at 60°C for 30 – 35 minutes (metal temperature)

After forced drying cure the fade-out area for another approx. 15 minutes with IR (medium) at 100 % power. Afterwards let the area cool down for 20 – 30 minutes before polishing.

If necessary, sand out any dirt in the fade-out area with 3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ film disc or remove any texture with a 75-mm 3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ fine sanding disc P3000 (wet) and an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 mm). Do not use any other abrasives (P2000 wet or coarser)

Polishing the fade-out area with PPG Speciality Performance Products SPP1001: • always start the polishing process with the black SPP final polishing pad (SPN1903) • use only a small amount of the polishing compound • max. 1.500 rpm • always lead the buffing machine from the repair clearcoat to the OE finish • always check the surface temperature • always check the surface during polishing (finalize with 3M™ Finish control spray) Notes: • for a more aggressive polishing use the orange SPP compounding foam pad (SPN1902) • use SPP lambswool compounding pad (SPN1905) only in difficult situations for polishing

Polishing System SPP1001: for detailed information see technical datasheet "T001"

CeramiClear™ – Removing of Dust and Dirt

3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ film discs are recommended to sand out dust or dirt

Remove any sanding scratches with a 75-mm 3M™ Trizact™ Finesse-it™ fine sanding disc P3000 (wet) and an eccentric sander (sanding stroke 3 mm)

Polish the repaired area with PPG Speciality Performance Products SPP1001 and the orange SPP compounding foam pad (SPN1902) on an adjustable buffing machine (approx. 1.500 rpm)

To achieve a mirror gloss finish the repaired area with the black SPP final polishing pad (SPN1903)

Using the recommended procedure the original texture and scratch resistance will remain at the highest possible level.

Additional repair recommendations with other manufacturers of abrasives and polishing compounds (e.g. 3M, Farécla, Festool, Meguiar's, Mercedes-Benz original, Mirka, Sonax NanoPolish) are available on request.

SLR McLaren: Warranty repair system with flattable Surfacer, for carbon fiber substrates, for spare parts and smaller damages

There are originally equipped carbon fibre reinforced composites used on the Mercedes-Benz SLR McLaren (type 199). In the case of sanding through the OEM finish and subsequent recoating this can cause problems (bullseyes, featheredge or sandscratches around repaired area). The following process will avoid any such problems when repairing this paint system.

1) Please note that only scratches and abrasions in the substrates are allowed to be repaired, but no cracks or holes that show damages of the carbonfibres. 2) Please refer to the chapter "Repair of Plastic Parts" to find more details about the repairing of plastic parts with the approved MB Plastic Repair Kit.

Cleaning: The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved. • Wash all surfaces with soap and water • If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre-stoved for 30 minutes at

60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process. • Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D846 DX103 Degreasing Agent for Plastics. Clean each section individually wiping

on D846 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended.

• Sand out the defects and featheredge the clear very carefully using P400 to P600 dry grade sanding paper. • Clean with D8434 Plastic Substrate Cleaner, and dry. DO NOT use a solventborne degreaser, as this can cause swelling of the OE

waterborne basecoat featheredge. • Infrared the repair area for 3 minutes, and cool. • Reclean using D8434. • If the damage is through down to the substrate use the MB Plastic Repair Kit or Iviplast 66.

Windshield Repair

In the event of windshield repair, please follow the following procedures: • Remove windshield and (if available) the glass roof. • Sand down the OE paint system (tridion cell frame) to a film build of about 50 µm; this is somewhere in the e-

coat area with some remaining surfacer. • Apply one of the EP primer and cure according to PDS prior to masking off area that will accept windshield

adhesive. Please note that once rest of surrounding repair is complete this primed area must cure 12-16 hours prior to windshield adhesive application.

• Mask off the areas where the new adhesive will be applied (described in the SMART Service Information, along with suitable tape / masking material).

Apply the topcoat system as described above and in the PDS.

Remove masking and apply adhesive directly to the EP primer install the windshield and glass roof. Note: primer must dry 12-16 hours prior to application of the windshield adhesive.

Note

• It is essential to apply colour panels to check gloss level and colour achieved in the specific bodyshop environment prior to repairing the specific vehicle.

• Test panels MUST be produced using the intended hardener/thinner/ratio/spraygun combination to check for colour and gloss level against the vehicle to repair.

• When choosing the color panel for gloss level, it is best to choose something slightly higher in gloss rather than lower

Notes

• Matt finishes present a number of obstacles in the repair process, including: o Variation in gloss across the vehicle body can mean more than one gloss level for repairing. o Gloss variation is not always easily visible before the repair is made. o The gloss level can change in service over time depending on cleaning / maintenance.

• Matt clearcoats contain raw materials to reduce gloss and contribute to the colour match. o This means the colour match involves a basecoat + clearcoat combination. o Different clearcoat film builds can also cause a colour shift when applied over OE clearcoat. o It is essential to apply colour panels to check gloss level and colour achieved in the specific bodyshop

environment prior to repairing the specific vehicle. o When choosing the color panel for gloss level, it is best to choose something slightly higher in gloss

rather than lower

*Matt Dual

Clearcoat Systems • The Matt Dual Clearcoat System special paint process has been developed particularly for repairing MB 0 056

Designo-Magno-Nachtschwarz. o Full resprays can be carried out with the normal matt clearcoat process. o Application of the dual clearcoat system is by two normal coats plus control coat, whilst application of

the full matt clearcoat system should be two full wet coats plus control coat.

• Matt Clearcoat must be flashed off until completely matt between coats and before bake to ensure an even matt finish.

o Clearcoat flash off times can be 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on repair type and size. o This is especially important on larger horizontal areas.

• Jobs must be kept extremely clean. o Any dirt inclusions must be removed before the final coat of clearcoat. o This can be during the basecoat stage OR after the first coat of clearcoat has flashed off well. o Dirt nibs cannot be polished out of the final coat. o In these cases the job must be re-prepared and the full repair area carefully re-applied with clearcoat.

Preliminary Information

Remember that 3-stage color effect is a combination of light reflection from the ground coat (opaque solid, metallic or pearlescent basecoat) as well as a phenomenon of light transition through the transparent / translucent layer of the midcoat (solid tinted or pearlescent basecoat).

Therefore the film build of the midcoat layers plays an important role in accurate color matching. In practice it means that the sprayer must make a set of test panels with different film build of the midcoat, choose a correct test panel and repair a car with the same number of midcoat layers. This verification process is described in details below.

The processes described below are approved warranty standard processes.

3-Stage Pearl Color Verification

• Preparation

• For all 3-Stage pearlescent colors it is essential to spray a set of test color panels to verify the quality of the color match.

• This should be done prior to commencing the repair. These spray outs will be unique to the sprayer!

• This will ensure:

• The correct shade of ground coat has been selected.

• The correct number of coats of midcoat has been applied (important because the number of coats of midcoat applied has a dramatic effect on the final color and effect of the job).

• Reduced chance of expensive rework through improved color matching.

• Preparation of color verification panels – ground coat

• First select the correct ground coat variant or special.

• Apply the appropriate GreyMatic (D8018 / D8019 / D8024) or DP4000 Primer (D8501 / D8505 / D8507) primer shade to a test panel (see color formulation for recommended shade).

• Refer to relevant PDS: GreyMatic (RLD193V) or DP4000 (RLD249V).

• Make up the ground coat color and thin in the normal way.

• For optimum durability and adhesion 5% of Activator D8260 can be added to the Envirobase High Performance ground coat color before thinning. Please note the potlife of 1 hour.

• Spray the ground coat to opacity onto a test panel and dry.

• If possible try to locate a section on the vehicle which has only ground coat applied e.g. under the bonnet, and assess quality of match. This might not always be the case.

• If the color is different then tint the ground coat to achieve a good color match.

• Apply the matched ground coat over the appropriate GreyMatic Shade test color panel.

• Preparation of color verification panels – midcoat

• Mix the midcoat as per the formula and mix as per the data sheet (refer to relevant PDS – Envirobase High Performance (RLD213V).

• Mask 4 parallel sections on the let-down panel.

• Apply one coat of midcoat. Blow dry.

• Remove 1st layer of masking, apply one coat of midcoat and blow dry.

• Remove 2nd layer of masking, apply one coat of midcoat and blow dry.

PPG – Daimler AG Paint Manuals Mercedes-Benz Cars and Vans [EC] Page 2 of 2

© PPG Industries Inc. [English] 1711 / August 2012

3-Stage Pearl Color Verification (cont.)

• Remove 3rd layer of masking, apply one coat of midcoat and blow dry.

• Remove 4th layer of masking and blow dry.

• Flash-off the let-down panel.

• Apply one coat of 2K clearcoat (Deltron Premium UHS Clearcoat D8138 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8105 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8122 or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8171) the panel and bake or Infrared.

• Refer to relevant PDS: D8138 (RLD237V), D8105 (RLD170V), D8122 (RLD195V) or D8171 (RLD259V).

• Once the clearcoat is dry, compare the test panels to a polished section of the original vehicle adjacent to the repair area.

• Select the panel closest in color to the vehicle.

• Use this number of midcoats on the job.

• Apply paint to final job exactly as for the test panels.

3-Layer Color Panel Repair using Fade-out Technique

• Apply Deltron 2K GreyMatic UHS Prima (D8018, D8019, D8024) with the appropriate GreyMatic Shade (see notes in color formulations) to the panel(s). Flash-off, bake and let the panel(s) cool down to ambient temperature (20°C – 25°C).

• Alternative: use DP4000 Primer (D8501 / D8505 / D8507) with the appropriate GreyMatic Shade (see notes in color formulations) without baking and sanding.

• Refer to relevant PDS: GreyMatic (RLD193V) or DP4000 (RLD249V).

• Use black guide coat and sand using a rotary-orbital sanding machine (3 mm stroke) and P400 – P500 grade paper discs.

• Surface of adjacent panels with OE clearcoat (fade-out areas) must be flattened with sanding paper P800 – P1500 or wet fine sanding disc P3000 or a wet ultrafine pad and a preparation gel, e.g. Deltron D8407 (RLD243V).

• Clean the sanded surface thoroughly with Waterborne low VOC Cleaner D8401 (RLD63V) and wipe-off any remains. Do not let the spirit wipe dry on the surface.

• Apply ground coat as normal and fade into the adjacent panel(s). Ground coat must reach perceived opacity over the recommended Greymatic!

• Allow to dry uniformly and tack-rag before applying midcoat.

• Apply midcoat to the repair area making sure that the paint layer extends beyond the ground coat area. Each coat of midcoat should extend further into the repair area to ensure a good fade-out edge. Apply fully wetted single coats.

• Allow each coat of midcoat to dry fully.

• Allow 5 – 10 minutes flash-off before applying clearcoat.

• Apply clearcoat (Deltron Premium UHS Clearcoat D8138 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8105 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8122 or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8171) on the whole panel and adjacent parts after necessary flash-off time. Polish the fade-out edges after fully curing of the clearcoat and cooling down.

• Refer to relevant PDS: D8138 (RLD237V), D8105 (RLD170V), D8122 (RLD195V) or D8171 (RLD259V).

PPG will offer an introduction into this special repair in its training courses. In urgent cases please contact your PPG distributor, demonstrator or your local PPG organization for assistance.

o 5. Application first clearcoat layer

• Apply Deltron Low VOC Performance Clearcoat D893 observing the following paint process. Refer to relevant PDS: D893 (RLD242V)

• Apply the 1st coat as a light mist coat. Avoid wetting this first coat too much as over-application can disturb the basecoat leading to patchiness.

• Leave to flash off for 15- 20 minutes at 23°C. • Apply a 2nd full coat. • Flash off and bake the clearcoat as indicated in the PDS.

o 6. Intermediate Sanding Process for the clearcoat

• To achieve the smooth final finish it is necessary to sand the first clearcoat layer and apply a second clearcoat layer

• Use for presanding 3M 260L P1200 dry to remove orange peel to achieve a completely flat surface. • Then for fine sanding use Mirka Abralon 2000 to remove any scratches.

o 7. Application second clearcoat layer

• Apply Deltron CeramiClear™ D8122 following the paint process in the product datasheet. Refer to relevant PDS: D8122 (RLD195V)

• Polish if necessary after curing the clearcoat and cooling.

1) Please refer to the chapter "Repair of Plastic Parts" to find more details about the repairing of plastic parts with the approved MB Plastic Repair Kit.

General Information on Cleaning:

The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved.

• Wash all surfaces with soap and water • If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre-

stoved for 30 minutes at 60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process.

• Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D846 DX103 Degreasing Agent for Plastics. Clean each section individually wiping on D846 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended.

RLD241V

Notes: • It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a

minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface.

• It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122).

• Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™.

• In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A.

Notes: • This repair system PLW02 can be used if one of the plastic types has been repaired with one of the Mercedes-Benz approved plastic repair

kits (SI98.20-Z-0002A bzw. SI98.20-N-0001A).

• It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface.

• It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122).

• Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™.

• In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A.

1) Please refer to the chapter "Repair of Plastic Parts" to find more details about the repairing of plastic parts with the approved MB Plastic Repair Kit.

The following Plastic Types can be repaired with this Repair System:

PC PES-GF RTM RTPU SMC SMC-GF30 UP-GRP (GFK) CF

General Information on Cleaning:

The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved.

• Wash all surfaces with soap and water • If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre-

stoved for 30 minutes at 60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process.

• Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D846 DX103 Degreasing Agent for Plastics. Clean each section individually wiping on D846 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended.

RLD241V

Notes: • This repair system PLW03 can be used if one of the plastic types has been repaired with one of the Mercedes-Benz approved plastic repair

kits (SI98.20-Z-0002A bzw. SI98.20-N-0001A).

• It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface.

• It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122).

• Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™.

• In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A.

1) Please refer to the chapter "Repair of Plastic Parts" to find more details about the repairing of plastic parts with the approved MB Plastic Repair Kit.

The following Plastic Types can be repaired with this Repair System:

ABS ASA PA PA6 PA-GF15 PA6-MD30 PA6-GF20-M20 PA/PPE

PA/PPO PBT PBTP PBT-GF PC PC/ABS PC/PBT PC/PPO

PPA PP/EPDM PPO PRIM PRIM-GF20 PS PUR/RIM-GF20 PUR-GF

PUR, soft RIM TPO

General Information on Cleaning:

The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved.

• Wash all surfaces with soap and water • If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre-

stoved for 30 minutes at 60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process.

• Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D846 DX103 Degreasing Agent for Plastics. Clean each section individually wiping on D846 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended.

RLD241V

Notes: • This repair system PLE02 can be used if one of the plastic types has been repaired with one of the Mercedes-Benz approved plastic repair

kits (SI98.20-Z-0002A bzw. SI98.20-N-0001A).

• It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface.

• It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122).

• Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™.

© PPG Industries Inc. [Master] 1812 / February 2013

• In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A.

General Information on Cleaning:

The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved.

• Wash all surfaces with soap and water • If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre-

stoved for 30 minutes at 60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process.

• Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D846 DX103 Degreasing Agent for Plastics. Clean each section individually wiping on D846 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended.

RLD241V

Notes: • It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a

minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface.

• It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122).

• Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™.

• In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes-Benz Service Information SI98.00-P-0013A.

Preparation For Blending Repairs

• Prepare the area surrounding the repair with a Scotchbrite Ultrafine pad together with PPG WB Flatting Paste D8407 (RLD243V).

• Dip the Scotchbrite pad in clean water, apply Flatting Paste to the pad. • Use the pad to abrade the area around the repair. • Abrade thoroughly until you have removed the gloss.

• Abrade a large enough area to contain the blend. • The blend should never extend beyond the prepared area. • Wipe the area with a clean sponge and water to remove the paste and allow to dry. • Clean the repair area using the appropriate PPG Precleaner.

Deltron DG Process with D8730 (Aerosol) or D8429

• After normal application the gun is arced away from the panel in the blend area leaving a dry overspray edge. • Apply Clearcoat D893 (RLD242) over color edge. • Use the same hardener in clearcoat as original DG color. After normal application the gun is arced away from the panel in the blend

area leaving a dry overspray clearcoat edge.

• Apply D8730 (Aerosol) or D8429 (RLD199V) to the clearcoat edge, applying in light coats to melt overspray edge. DO NOT apply heavily. Alternatively D868 can be used.

• Allow the paint film to cure. • Polish the blend area with a polishing compound SPP 1001 (T001), taking care not to polish through the blend and finish with a fi-

nishing polish. • Rapid Blender D8429 can be used as an alternative to the Aerosol for those who prefer to use spraygun application. • The process is the same for both the aerosol and blender but using a spraygun to apply the Rapid Blender to the blend edge.

• After normal application the gun is arced away from the panel in the blend area leaving a dry overspray blend. • Apply D8730 (Aerosol) or D8429 (RLD199V) to the clearcoat edge, applying in light coats to melt the overspray edge. DO NOT apply

heavily. Alternatively D868 can be used. • Allow the paint film to cure. • Polish the blend area with a polishing compound SPP 1001 (T001), taking care not to polish through the blend and finish with a fi-

nishing polish.

Preparation For Blending Repairs

• Prepare the area surrounding the repair with a Scotchbrite Ultrafine pad together with PPG WB Flatting Paste D8407 (RLD243V).

• Dip the Scotchbrite pad in clean water, apply Flatting Paste to the pad. • Use the pad to abrade the area around the repair. • Abrade thoroughly until you have removed the gloss.

• Abrade a large enough area to contain the blend. • The blend should never extend beyond the prepared area. • Wipe the area with a clean sponge and water to remove the paste and allow to dry. • Clean the repair area using the appropriate PPG Precleaner.

Sanding and Cleaning

Pre-Cleaning: Steel: Remove rust by sandblasting, wire brush or coarse sanding paper (P16 to P80) to achieve a bare substrate. For rust-through areas tinning is recommended. In case of larger damaged areas it might be necessary to weld in a new sheet or to replace the whole part. Remove any remains like scale from welding, tinning or any parting compounds and fluxing agents thoroughly. Aluminium / Magnesium alloys: These metals have the property of reacting with oxygen very quickly. There is the risk of fire and explosion caused by machining (sanding) of these components. Extremly high precautionary measures must be taken when processing aluminium. To avoid contact corrosion, do not sand bare steel and aluminium at the same time using the same sanding disc / paper. It is not recommended to sand any Magnesium alloys!

Cleaning: Clean any old paint (OE finish) thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt. Clean with a suitable cleaner. Metal Substrates: • D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe: mild blend of solvents for removing light contamination • D845 (DX310) High Strength Degreaser: is a strong blend of solvents, specifically designed to remove dirt, grease and other

contaminants from bare metal as part of the preparation process • D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner: is a waterborne pre-cleaner, suitable for use as an “in process” cleaner. Plastic Substrates: • D846 (DX103) Antistatic Agent for Plastics: specially designed alcoholic blend of solvents formulated to treat plastic surfaces

without damaging them and to prevent the build up of static, ensuring a dust free finish. • D8434 Plastic Substrate Cleaner: detergent cleaner for removing all types of contaminants (e.g. mould release agents and

traffic film) as a step in the preparatory process to ensure excellent adhesion of subsequent coatings.

Dry Sanding (rotary-orbital machine): Use the following paper grades depending on the substrate. Start with the coarsest grade and carry on down to the finest grade. Fleeces and pads are especially recommended for edges and borders. Use a guide coat for best results: • Steel P120 - P220, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine • Galvanized Steel P320 - P400, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad grey, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Tinned Steel P120 - P220 • Aluminium P150 - P220, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine • E-Coat (spare parts) P280 - P400, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad grey, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine (faultless E-Coat requires only cleaning) • OE Finish / Repair Coatings P240 – P500, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine • Putty / Filler Coarse sanding: P120 - P150, fine sanding: P240 - P320 • Spray Polyester Coarse sanding: P150, fine sanding: P240 - P320 • Primer-Surfacer P320 - P400, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Surfacer P320 – P500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Topcoat (blending areas) P800 - P1500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad extrafine • Clearcoat (blending areas) P800 - P1500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad extrafine

Wet Sanding (manual): Use the following paper grades depending on the substrate. Start with the coarsest grade and carry on down to the finest grade. Fleeces and pads are especially recommended for edges and borders: • E-Coat (spare parts) P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine (faultless E-Coat requires only cleaning) • OE Finish / Repair Coatings P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Putty / Filler NEVER use wet sanding for putties or fillers! • Spray Polyester NEVER use wet sanding for putties or fillers! • Primer-Surfacer P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Surfacer P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Topcoat (blending areas) P1000 - P1200, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Clearcoat (blending areas) P1000 - P1200, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine

Introduction Plastic Repair Kit (Plastic Repair Box) for Passenger Cars With the approved plastic repair kit(s) it is possible to repair all damages such as cracks, holes or very deep scratches (> 1 mm) on painted (or colored) plastic body components of Mercedes-Benz Passenger Cars.

1. Bumper Covering

2. Bumper Guards

3. Deep Scratches (> 1 mm)

4. Crack

5. Hole (< 40 mm)

However, it is not possible to repair all types of plastic and parts when the substrate is damaged. The following parts can be repaired with the repair kit:

• Front Bumper • Rear Bumper • Front Fender Left • Front Fender Right

Note: When repaired properly the repaired plastic parts correspond completely to Mercedes-Benz technical requirements. The repairs to be performed, however, should be economically logical. The costs for labor and material (not including paintwork) should not exceed 75 % of the price for the replacement part. Please refer to the vehicle’s datasheets to find the corresponding paint system. Please refer to SI88.00-P-0001A for more details.

PUR-GF PUR, soft Note: The following plastic types are used for special applications or are regarded to be difficult to paint:

• solvent sensitive plastics like some PC types or PS (in some cases it might be possible to paint some of these plastic grades using D8012 waterborne EP Primer).

• clear, transparent and not painted plastic types like PC or PMMA. • colored plastic types like PP (less than 20% mineral filled), PE or POM. • plastic types that require a special surface pretreatment when they are painted like PE or PP. • PE and PP can not be painted without surface pretreatment or being pre-primed with an OE plastic

primer. Today PPGs recommendation is to replace bare, damaged or repaired plastic parts of these types against spare parts that are preprimed with an OE plastic primer. In the case of preprimed parts please refer to the repair system P01 to find the appropriate repair procedure.

Sanding and Cleaning

Pre-Cleaning: Steel: Remove rust by sandblasting, wire brush or coarse sanding paper (P16 to P80) to achieve a bare substrate. For rust-through areas tinning is recommended. In case of larger damaged areas it might be necessary to weld in a new sheet or to replace the whole part. Remove any remains like scale from welding, tinning or any parting compounds and fluxing agents thoroughly. Aluminium / Magnesium alloys: These metals have the property of reacting with oxygen very quickly. There is the risk of fire and explosion caused by machining (sanding) of these components. Extremly high precautionary measures must be taken when processing aluminium. To avoid contact corrosion, do not sand bare steel and aluminium at the same time using the same sanding disc / paper. It is not recommended to sand any Magnesium alloys!

Cleaning: Clean any old paint (OE finish) thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt. Clean with a suitable cleaner. Metal Substrates: • D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe: mild blend of solvents for removing light contamination • D845 (DX310) High Strength Degreaser: is a strong blend of solvents, specifically designed to remove dirt, grease and other

contaminants from bare metal as part of the preparation process • D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner: is a waterborne pre-cleaner, suitable for use as an “in process” cleaner. Plastic Substrates: • D846 (DX103) Antistatic Agent for Plastics: specially designed alcoholic blend of solvents formulated to treat plastic surfaces

without damaging them and to prevent the build up of static, ensuring a dust free finish. • D8434 Plastic Substrate Cleaner: detergent cleaner for removing all types of contaminants (e.g. mould release agents and

traffic film) as a step in the preparatory process to ensure excellent adhesion of subsequent coatings.

Dry Sanding (rotary-orbital machine): Use the following paper grades depending on the substrate. Start with the coarsest grade and carry on down to the finest grade. Fleeces and pads are especially recommended for edges and borders. Use a guide coat for best results: • Steel P120 - P220, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine • Galvanized Steel P320 - P400, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad grey, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Tinned Steel P120 - P220 • Aluminium P150 - P220, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine • E-Coat (spare parts) P280 - P400, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad grey, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine (faultless E-Coat requires only cleaning) • OE Finish / Repair Coatings P240 – P500, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine • Putty / Filler Coarse sanding: P120 - P150, fine sanding: P240 - P320 • Spray Polyester Coarse sanding: P150, fine sanding: P240 - P320 • Primer-Surfacer P320 - P400, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Surfacer P320 – P500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Topcoat (blending areas) P800 - P1500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad extrafine • Clearcoat (blending areas) P800 - P1500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine, 3M Scotch-Brite™ pad extrafine

Wet Sanding (manual): Use the following paper grades depending on the substrate. Start with the coarsest grade and carry on down to the finest grade. Fleeces and pads are especially recommended for edges and borders: • E-Coat (spare parts) P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine (faultless E-Coat requires only cleaning) • OE Finish / Repair Coatings P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Putty / Filler NEVER use wet sanding for putties or fillers! • Spray Polyester NEVER use wet sanding for putties or fillers! • Primer-Surfacer P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Surfacer P600 - P800, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Topcoat (blending areas) P1000 - P1200, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine • Clearcoat (blending areas) P1000 - P1200, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine

REPAIR AND RECOATING

Sanding: If necessary, de-nib Deltron BC, after 20 minutes flash-off, using fine sand paper (P1200 - P1500) followed by a touch-up repair (see section on Fade-Out Technique) prior to the clearcoat application.

Overcoat / Re-coat time at 20°C:

- Minimum 15 minutes

- Maximum 24 hours

After 24 hours 1 Coat of Deltron BC has to be applied prior to clearcoat application.

Overcoat with: Deltron Clearcoats

FADE-OUT TECHNIQUE Fading out Deltron BC is necessary for spot repair and advisable when metallic or mica colours have to be repaired. Use D851 BC Fade-out Thinner as follows :

- Prepare Deltron BC colour as specified in this data sheet - Using light inward strokes, achieve coverage on the repaired area - Thin 1 part of the ready-for-use Deltron BC with 1 part D851 Deltron Fade-out Thinner - Use this mixture to fade the repair edges spraying from the outside to the inside of the repair

area - Repeat the last step until the potential colour difference has been lost - Allow 20 minutes flash-off before clearcoating

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS For optimum durability and adhesion BC may be mixed 10:1 with D841 MS Hardener, and then thinned 1:1 with GRS Thinner prior to application. Potlife of the activated basecoat is in excess of 48 hours. Application and drying properties are unchanged.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING After use, clean all equipment thoroughly with cleaning solvent or thinner.

Product Information

DELTRON D821

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION D821 is a transparent-grey primer surfacer with excellent anti-chip and anti-corrosion properties. It is ideal for the repair and repainting of any panel surfaces, particularly those areas most susceptible to chip damage.

Tintable with Deltron DG colour, D821 may be applied directly to bare steel, suitably prepared aluminium and pretreated steel. It may be overcoated, with or without sanding, with any Deltron GRS topcoat and Envirobase. D821 may be air dried, IR cured or low baked .

D821 offers significant economies in stock and process time. A single stage application of D821 can replace a conventional two stage primer system. D821 gives the adhesion and anticorrosion performance of an epoxy or wash etch primer together with the film build and surface levelling of a 2K surfacer.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE

Substrate

Bare steel Galvanised steel Zintec Aluminium and alloys Electropaint Aged painted surfaces GRP, fibre-glass Polyester filler

Preparation

P80 - 120 (dry) P400 (dry) Fine sanding pad P280 - 320 (dry) P360 (dry) / P800 (wet) P400 - 500 (dry) /P280 - 320 (wet) P320 (dry) P240 (dry)

Before and after any sanding operation, the substrate must be thoroughly degreased. Use an appropriate substrate cleaner/degreaser. PPG make a range of cleaning & degreasing products. See Technical Datasheet Deltron Cleaners, RLD63 for suitable cleaners & degreasers.

Product Information ENVIROBASE Envirobase Waterborne Basecoat colour T4xx Envirobase Thinner T494 Envirobase Slow Thinner T495

PRODUCTS Envirobase is waterborne basecoat colour for use in the repair of basecoat clear systems.

Applied as a part of a two-stage or multi-stage basecoat paint system, mixed Envirobase colour reproduces original solid, metallic or mica paint finishes.

Envirobase is a waterborne product, containing considerably less volatile organic compound (VOC) than conventional solventborne basecoat. This makes Envirobase particularly suitable for use in areas where VOC emissions or product VOC content are subject to legal restriction.

ENVIROBASE EXPRESS This is the system to use where high productivity is required. It incorporates accelerated, warm air movement over the surface of the paint film during the flash off periods.

The system raises the booth temperature to between 40 - 45oC during the Envirobase flash-off period, thereby reducing humidity by about 50%. This process / system has a different application process to the normal Envirobase application.

By using the Envirobase Express system, application & drying times can be dramatically reduced, giving quicker process times.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE Apply over original stoved 2K finishes or PPG GRS Deltron primers except: D836 / D838 Koba, D831 Universel, D855 2+1.

Degrease all surfaces to be painted with appropriate PPG substrate cleaner before wet sanding with P800 grade paper or dry sanding with P500 grade paper.

Wash off residues and dry thoroughly before re-cleaning with appropriate PPG substrate cleaner. See Technical Data Sheet Deltron Cleaners RLD63V. The use of a tack-rag is recommended.

PRE-APPLICATION Hand-shake bottles of Envirobase tinter for a few seconds before use.

Mixed Envirobase colour should be thoroughly hand-stirred before application. If not used immediately it should be hand-stirred again before use.

Use nylon paint filters specially designed for use with waterborne paint materials. A 135 micron mesh is recommended, 190 microns maximum.

REPAIR AND RECOATING Overcoating: Envirobase must be overcoated with a GRS Deltron clearcoat

after the minimum flash times.

Recoat time: After 24 hours, 1 coat of Envirobase has to be applied prior to the clearcoat application. The maximum recoat time is 48 hours.

De-nib: It is possible to de-nib Envirobase, after 20 minutes flash off, with fine sanding paper – P1200/P1500 (dry) using air blowing and a tack rag to remove sanding dust and followed by a spot repair (see FADING-OUT section) prior to the clearcoat application.

Overcoat with: A wide range of Deltron Clearcoats.

(See Clearcoat Technical Data Sheets for information)

FADE-OUT TECHNIQUE Fading-out Envirobase is necessary for spot repair and advised when metallic or mica colours have to be repaired. Use T490 as follows : - Prepare Envirobase colour as specified in the datasheet. - Using light inward strokes reach coverage on the repaired area. - Thin one part of the ready for use Envirobase with one part of T490 ready to use - Use this mixture to fade the repair edges spraying from the outside to the inside the repair area. - Repeat the last step until the potential colour difference has been lost. - Allow the repair a 15 minutes flash off before clearcoating

EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Clean all mixing equipment immediately after use, preferably using a dedicated waterborne equipment cleaning machine.

Use tap water, with a final rinse using deionised water or an alcohol-based cleaner such as D846.

Ensure all equipment is completely dry before storage or use.

Product Information HARLEQUIN

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Harlequin Basecoat colours contain unique multi-layer pigment flakes that give a paint film the ability to literally change colour when viewed from different angles. Each colour exhibits a wide range of hues depending on the angle at which it is viewed and the angle of incidence of the light. The standard colour names above reflect the colour seen at approximately 90o and 45o respectively. These colours are totally compatible with the PPG Global Refinish System range of products, and can be used as the G.R.S. Basecoats.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE

Degrease all surfaces to be painted with appropriate PPG substrate cleaner. Apply Harlequin over properly prepared surfaces. A 2K primer is strongly recommended. This should be carefully sanded, finishing with 500 grade paper (dry) or P1000 (wet). The surface should then be very thoroughly cleaned prior to the application of colour. Wash off residues and dry thoroughly before re-cleaning with appropriate PPG substrate cleaner. See Technical Data Sheet Deltron Cleaners RLD63. The use of a tack-rag is recommended.

Substitute D863 for D802 and dust free time is 10 minutes, Stoving at 60°C takes 20 minutes. Adding 10gs or 10 mls of D818 Accelerator per litre of ready to spray paint mixture reduces dust free times to - 15 minutes with D802, or 5 minutes with D803. Using D863 and D818 together reduces dust free times to 5 minutes and through drying to 15 minutes at 60°C. Pot Life is 3 - 4 hours.

OVERCOATING/RECOATING Overcoat / Recoat time - If Force dried, after cooling, or after Air drying at 20°C for 8 hours. It is essential to sand before recoating to ensure good adhesion. Sand with P800 (wet) or P400 (Dry). Overcoat with - Any PPG 2K primer, GRS Deltron topcoats, or Envirobase.

SPOT REPAIR PROCEDURE

• Apply GRS Deltron D800 according to the details given above. • Leave to flash off for 10 minutes at 20°C after the second full coat. • A suitable qua ntity of activated and thinned D800 should be further reduced with GRS

Deltron DG Fade Out Thinner D868 at a ratio of 1:3 (1 part activated DG to 3 parts D868)

• Apply this 1:3 mix over the repair area, using a reduced gun pressure to minimise overspray; Spray from the outside of the repair inwards, covering an area that extends beyond the edge of the initial application.

• After force drying or IR buff the repair edges.

BEST PRACTICES WITH UHS PRODUCTS

Paint storage conditions

Keep ready for use paint in good conditions to ensure correct viscosity. RFU temperature above a minimum of 15˚C, and ideally over 18˚C. This includes paint, hardeners and thinners.

Mixing and making ready for use

Activate accurately, and by weight where ever possible. Where mixing must be by volume, only use a round and parallel sided mixing container together with the correct mixing stick. If using a measuring container marked in percentages, you must be sure that the percentages give the correct quantities. Make sure that Hardener and Thinner is mixed in well. High solids or high viscosity products can take a little longer to mix in, so a good practice is to stir Hardener in first, then add thinner before stirring again. Use mixed product as quickly as possible. Choose the correct Hardener for the required bake cycle. Keep to the recommended levels of additives. Do not exceed the recommended level of additives such as Flexibilisers.

Application technique, process and equipment choices

Use correct spraygun set ups, and set up the spraygun correctly. Use a “Single Visit” application wherever possible, following the advice given in the application section. Check that the spraybooth is operating effectively. If necessary make an oven check to be sure that metal temperature is reached, especially on low down repair areas. PPG recommendations are based on time at metal temperature, so this should be allowed for in the bake cycle that is set for the job.

It can be directly overcoated with Deltron GRS BC, Deltron GRS DG, Deltron GRS UHS, Deltron Progress UHS DG or Envirobase basecoat. By combining D8018, D8019 and D8024 (see GreyMatic section), a range of 4 grey shades can be obtained. By using the relevant grey shade (GreyMatic 1,3 ,5 or 7) as a tinted undercoat, the topcoat consumption and the total repair process time may be reduced.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE – DEGREASING

Before any preparation work, wash all surfaces to be painted with soap and water. Rinse and allow to dry before degreasing with a suitable PPG substrate cleaner: Ensure all substrates are thoroughly cleaned and dried before and after each stage of the preparation work. Always wipe substrate cleaner off the panel surface immediately, using a clean, dry cloth.

Please see Deltron Cleaners (RLD63) Technical Data Sheet for appropriate substrate cleaning and degreasing products.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE - PRIMING & SANDING

Bare Steel should be lightly abraded and completely rust free before application. GreyMatic may be applied directly, but bare metal primers Universel or DP40 are recommended where optimum adhesion and corrosion resistance is required.

Other bare metals should be pre-primed with either Universel or DP40.

Electropaint should be sanded with P360 grade paper (dry) or P800 grade (wet).

Original Paintwork or Primers should be sanded using P280-P320 grade paper (dry) or P400-P500 grade paper (wet). Spot prime any exposed bare metal with bare metal primer Universel or DP40.

GRP or Fibre glass should be sanded using P320 grade paper (dry).

Polyester Fillers should be dry sanded using a sequence of grade of paper grades suitable for the chosen application of GreyMatic : P80-P120 when using as a spray filler. P80-P120-P240 when using as a primer surfacer or non-sand surfacer.

Product Information P.E. SPRAY

POLYESTER SPRAY FILLER – A712

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION P.E. Spray is a light grey 2-component polyester spray filler. It is designed for the repair of large surfaces with extensive defects and irregularities - where use of conventional knifing stoppers would be inconvenient and time-consuming.

Quick drying, easy to apply and with high film build, P.E. Spray may be used over a variety of substrate materials. Once sanded, it may be overcoated with any primer or surfacer before application of topcoat.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE

In all cases, select the appropriate PPG cleaner(s) from the guide below, and ensure that the substrate is thoroughly cleaned and dried both before and after preparation work.

Bare Steel (including Shotblast Steel) should be abraded with P80-P120 grit discs and be completely rust free before application. D845 DX310 High Strength Degreaser is recommended for cleaning bare steel. P.E. Spray may be applied directly, although corrosion resistance is optimised if DP40 Chromate-free 2K Epoxy Surfacer (D834/D835) is applied first.

Other Bare Metals (e.g. Aluminium and Galvanised Steel) and Fibreglass must be pre-primed with DP40 (see above).

Original Paintwork should be sanded using P280 grade paper (dry) or P360 grade paper (wet). Spot prime any exposed bare metal with DP40 (see above).

Polyester Fillers should be dry sanded with P80-P120 grit discs in order to prevent adhesion problems.

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS

Do not apply P.E. Spray over phenolic-based primers (e.g. Universel, 2+1).

All cans of A712 should be thoroughly hand-stirred before use.

Avoid stirring unactivated A712 with mixing sticks contaminated with residues of material containing SHA307 hardener.

Mix only the quantity of product required for immediate use. Do not return activated material to the original container. Carefully re-seal part-used containers of A712 and SHA307.

P.E. Spray is water-sensitive and must not be wet-sanded.

P.E. Spray must not be overcoated directly with topcoat finishes. Always apply a sealer coat of a suitable 2K primer or surfacer before application of topcoat.

Immediately after use, thoroughly clean all spray and mixing equipment with cleaning solvent or thinner.

The use of HVLP spray equipment can give an increase in transfer efficiency of around 10% depending upon the make and model of equipment used.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTIONS Galvaplast 77 is a premium quality 2 component polyester filler that offers outstanding adhesion to any metal substrate - including 'difficult' surfaces such as galvanised or zinc-coated steel, stainless, aluminium and fibreglass. Offering smooth application, fast drying and easy sanding, Galvaplast 77 is particularly versatile and easy to use. Multi Purpose Stopper is a quality stopper that offers outstanding adhesion to a wide variety of metallic substrates, including galvanised or zinc coated steel, properly prepared aluminium and fiberglass. This Stopper has outstanding ease of application and sanding properties.

Iviplast 66 is a fine, flexible 2 component polyester filler that offers excellent adhesion to both rigid and deformable plastics. Like the substrates it is designed to repair, Iviplast 66 offers good resistance to the light impacts and stonechips that frequently damage the lower external bodywork and trim areas.

P.E. Stopper is a conventional 2 component polyester filler that offers quick drying and easy clog-free sanding. P.E. Stopper is suitable for use over bare steel, fibreglass, GRP and other primed or painted surfaces.

Extra Light is a low density 2 component polyester filler that is exceptionally easily applied and worked, even over major surface imperfections. Smooth and consistent, and offering good flexibility and impact resistance, Extra Light may be used over bare steel, painted surfaces, fibreglass and GRP.

Pinhole Filler is a very light single-component filler. It is suitable for minor filling work on rough or irregular surfaces over which a smooth, high-gloss paint finish is required. Pinhole Filler is ideal for moulded surfaces, especially plastics.

Putty V.B.A. Beige is a light single-component acrylic stopper, suitable for the quick repair of minor surface scratches or imperfections. V.B.A. Putty can be used over paintwork, primer or filler, and is ideal for the quick repair of minor preparation defects.

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS Always follow the recommended mix ratio when adding hardener. Do not attempt to accelerate drying times by adding extra hardener, as this will cause major defects in the subsequent paint film, such as pinholing, peroxide bleaching and gloss dieback. Do not allow water to come into contact with 2 component polyester fillers - always dry sand. Even if the filler is subsequently dried by low-bake or Infra-Red lamps, wet sanding can still cause microblistering problems. Once hardener has been mixed into the filler, do not return it to the can. Be careful to prevent traces of hardener from the mixing stick or spreader from coming into contact with filler in the can. With the single exception of A242 Putty V.B.A. Beige, it is not recommended to overcoat these products directly with topcoat colour. Always overcoat first with a suitable primer surfacer such as D839 Prima or D836 Koba Plus (refer to specific product data sheets for full details of suitability and surface preparation.). Store product in a cool, dry environment. Do not expose to direct sunlight. After use, ensure that partly used containers are tightly sealed.

Product Information ADDITIVES

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

D818 Accelerator is an additive which accelerates the reaction of the paint component with its hardener. It is added to the mixed ready to spray product prior to application.

D886 Potlife Extender is an additive that prolongs mixed 2K product potlife, allowing ready-for-use product to remain at a sprayable viscosity for a longer time. D886 has no effect on spray application or through-drying time.

D885 Enhancer is a combination of an accelerator and a potlife extender. Using D885, topcoats will cure faster and extend the potlife.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE See individual technical datasheets.

APPLICATION GUIDE

D818 Deltron Accelerator

Mixing ratio:

D818 Accelerator may be used to create an accelerated thinner by adding:

(A) Deltron thinner * 5l (B) D818 250 ml * D808 or D807 This ‘accelerated thinner’ will be identified using the orange

Product Information

2K GREYMATIC UHS PRIMA

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION 2K GreyMatic UHS Prima is a range of 2K primer surfacers suitable for a wide range of repair work. Versatile, quick-drying and easy to apply and sand, they offer excellent corrosion resistance, film build, surface leveling and gloss holdout over a wide range of substrates such as sound original paintwork, bare steel, polyester body fillers and suitable adhesion primers.

By simple adjustment of the thinning ratio, 2K GreyMatic UHS Prima may be applied as a primer surfacer, as a high build spray filler, or as a wet-on-wet surfacer. 2K GreyMatic UHS Prima may be air dried, low baked or IR cured.

It can be directly overcoated with Deltron GRS BC, Deltron GRS DG, Deltron GRS UHS, Deltron Progress UHS DG or Envirobase basecoat. By combining D8018, D8019 and D8024 (see GreyMatic section), a range of 4 grey shades can be obtained. By using the relevant grey shade (GreyMatic 1,3 ,5 or 7) as a tinted undercoat, the topcoat consumption and the total repair process time may be reduced.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE – DEGREASING

Before any preparation work, wash all surfaces to be painted with soap and water. Rinse and allow to dry before degreasing with a suitable PPG substrate cleaner: Ensure all substrates are thoroughly cleaned and dried before and after each stage of the preparation work. Always wipe substrate cleaner off the panel surface immediately, using a clean, dry cloth.

Please see Deltron Cleaners (RLD63) Technical Data Sheet for appropriate substrate cleaning and degreasing products.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE - PRIMING & SANDING

Bare Steel should be lightly abraded and completely rust free before application. GreyMatic may be applied directly, but Universel or DP40 bare metal primers are recommended where optimum adhesion and corrosion resistance is required.

Other bare metals should be pre-primed with either Universel or DP40.

Electropaint should be sanded with P360 grade paper (dry) or P800 grade (wet).

Original Paintwork or Primers should be sanded using P280-P320 grade paper (dry) or P400-P500 grade paper (wet). Spot prime any exposed bare metal with bare metal primer Universel or DP40.

GRP or Fibreglass should be sanded using P320 grade paper (dry).

Polyester Fillers should be dry sanded using a sequence of grade of paper grades suitable for the chosen application of D8023 : P80-P120 when using as a spray filler. P80-P120-P240 when using as a primer surfacer or non-sand surfacer.

BEST PRACTICES WITH UHS PRODUCTS

Paint storage conditions

Keep ready for use paint in good conditions to ensure correct viscosity. RFU temperature above a minimum of 15˚C, and ideally over 18˚C. This includes paint, hardeners and thinners.

Mixing and making ready for use

Activate accurately, and by weight where ever possible. Where mixing must be by volume, only use a round and parallel sided mixing container together with the correct mixing stick. If using a measuring container marked in percentages, you must be sure that the percentages give the correct quantities. Make sure that Hardener and Thinner is mixed in well. High solids or high viscosity products can take a little longer to mix in, so a good practice is to stir Hardener in first, then add thinner before stirring again. Use mixed product as quickly as possible. Choose the correct Hardener for the required bake cycle. Keep to the recommended levels of additives. Do not exceed the recommended level of additives such as Flexibilisers.

Application technique, process and equipment choices

Use correct spraygun set ups, and set up the spraygun correctly. Use a “Single Visit” application wherever possible, following the advice given in the application section. Check that the spraybooth is operating effectively. If necessary make an oven check to be sure that metal temperature is reached, especially on low down repair areas. PPG recommendations are based on time at metal temperature, so this should be allowed for in the bake cycle that is set for the job.

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS Always follow the recommended mix ratio when adding hardener. Do not attempt to accelerate drying times by adding extra hardener, as this will cause major defects in the subsequent paint film, such as pinholing, peroxide bleaching and gloss dieback. Do not allow water to come into contact with 2 component polyester fillers - always dry sand. Even if the filler is subsequently dried by low-bake or Infra-Red lamps, wet sanding can still cause microblistering problems. Once hardener has been mixed into the filler, do not return it to the can. Be careful to prevent traces of hardener from the mixing stick or spreader from coming into contact with filler in the can. It is not recommended to overcoat these products directly with topcoat colour. Always overcoat first with a suitable 2K primer surfacer (refer to specific product data sheets for full details of suitability and surface preparation.). Store product in a cool, dry environment. Do not expose to direct sunlight. After use, ensure that partly used containers are tightly sealed.

Product Information GRS Deltron D8730, D8429 PRODUCTS GRS Deltron Aerosol Fade Out Thinner D8730 GRS Deltron Rapid Blender D8429

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE 1) Ensure that the panels involved are thoroughly cleaned. 2) Sand the area of repair with no coarser than P800 (wet) or P400 (dry) paper. 3) Key the surrounding area with a wet 1000 grade Trizact pad on a DA sander (3mm orbit).

Where or if Clearcoat or Direct Gloss is to be faded out (up a pillar) this area should be fnished with a wet Trizact 3000 pad. Prepare less accessible areas using D8407 WB Flatting Paste with an abrasive Scotchbrite™ Ultrafine (Grey) or Extra Fine (Copper) pad.

4) Thoroughly clean the area to be refinished with a suitable pre-cleaner, Tak rag off before painting.

5) When carrying out a large blend, e.g. wing into a door, it is often easier to temporarily mask off the panel to be blended.

6) Paint the repair in the usual way. 7) Remove the temporary masking, and using an arcing motion with the spraygun, extend

the repair into the blending area, arcing the gun away from the panel and leaving a fine, dry overspray edge.

GRS Deltron Aerosol Fade-Out Thinner D8730 and Rapid Blender D8429 offer an easy and simple fade-out process for GRS Deltron Progress UHS DG colours, and for UHS Clearcoats. They are formulated for easy application and have excellent overspray wetting properties, giving a high gloss and high quality finish to the fade-out process.

Refer to the individual Product Datasheets for general process information on the use of PPG topcoats. This datasheet covers the fade-out processes.

UHS Clearcoat Process – D8730 Fade Out Thinner, D8429 Rapid Blender

1) After normal application the gun is arced into the fade-out area, which will leave an overspray edge. Care should be taken not apply the Clearcoat beyond the prepared fade-out area.

2) Apply D8730 Aerosol Fade Out Thinner (or D8429 Rapid Blender through a spraygun) to the clearcoat edge, in light coats, to melt the overspray edge. DO NOT apply in heavy coats.

3) Allow the paint film to cure thoroughly. 4) Lightly polish the fade-out area with polishing compound (SPP1001), taking care not to

polish through the blend. Finish with a finishing polish.

GRS Deltron Progress UHS Process - D8730 Fade Out Thinner, D8429 Rapid Blender

1) After normal application the gun is arced slightly part way into the fade-out area, which will leave an overspray edge.

2) Apply a coat of Clearcoat over the colour edge. Use the same hardener in the Clear that was used in the colour. After normal application the gun is arced slightly further into the fade-out area, which will leave a clearcoat overspray edge. Care should be taken not apply the Clearcoat beyond the prepared fade-out area.

3) Apply D8730 Aerosol Fade Out Thinner (or D8429 Rapid Blender through a spraygun) to the clearcoat edge, in light coats, to melt the overspray edge. DO NOT apply in heavy coats.

4) Allow the paint film to cure thoroughly. 5) Lightly polish the fade-out area with polishing compound (SPP1001), taking care not to

polish through the blend. Finish with a finishing polish.

REPAIR & RECOATING

F3915 accelerates the curing of Delfleet UHS product systems and therefore changes their drying characteristics.

Film lifiting may occur under certain circumstances if Delfleet UHS systems are allowed to flash off for more than

30 mins. prior to recoating ; A flash off between 5 and 25 minutes is strongly recommended otherwise allow to dry

fully before subsequent coats are applied.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING After use clean all equipment thoroughly with cleaning solvent or thinner.

MATT, SATIN AND TEXTURED FINISHES PAINTING OF FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATES

To obtain a matt, semi-matt (satin) or textured finish with Deltron D8141 Premium UHS Clearcoat, it is necessary to include matt, flex or texture additives in the mix. Additives are also required when applying D8141 over a flexible substrate. The additives required and the appropriate volume and/or weight mix ratios are indicated in microfiches if relevant or in the tables below.

Note: The majority of plastics used on cars are considered Rigid. These plastics may have some flexibility when painted off the car, but are rigid once mounted. UHS Clearcoats only require the addition of the Plasticiser Additive (See Flexible chart below) when painting very flexible plastics, mostly found on older vehicles, e.g. foam type.

BEST PRACTICES WITH UHS PRODUCTS

Paint storage conditions

Keep ready for use paint in good conditions to ensure correct viscosity. RFU temperature above a minimum of 15˚C, and ideally over 18˚C. This includes paint, hardeners and thinners.

Mixing and making ready for use

Activate accurately, and by weight where ever possible. Where mixing must be by volume, only use a round and parallel sided mixing container together with the correct mixing stick. If using a measuring container marked in percentages, you must be sure that the percentages give the correct quantities. Make sure that Hardener and Thinner is mixed in well. High solids or high viscosity products can take a little longer to mix in, so a good practice is to stir Hardener in first, then add thinner before stirring again. Use mixed product as quickly as possible. Choose the correct Hardener for the required bake cycle. Keep to the recommended levels of additives. Do not exceed the recommended level of additives such as Flexibilisers.

Application technique, process and equipment choices

Use correct spraygun set ups, and set up the spraygun correctly. Use a “Single Visit” application wherever possible, following the advice given in the application section. Check that the spraybooth is operating effectively. If necessary make an oven check to be sure that metal temperature is reached, especially on low down repair areas. PPG recommendations are based on time at metal temperature, so this should be allowed for in the bake cycle that is set for the job.

MATT, SEMI MATT AND SEMI GLOSS FINISHES To obtain a matt, semi-matt (satin) or semi gloss finish with Delfleet UHS Clearcoat F3460, it is necessary to include UHS Matting Agent F3119 in the mix. The additive required and the appropriate volume mix ratios are indicated in the table below.

Notes:

1. After adding the UHS Matting agent to the clear, stir thoroughly to ensure a homogeneous mix, before adding UHS hardener.

2. The final gloss level obtained will be dependent upon application and drying conditions, and film thickness. It is therefore recommended to apply a test panel to check the gloss level, before painting.

Appearance F3460 F3119 UHS Hardener Gloss 3.5 - 1 Semi-Gloss 3 1 1 Semi-Matt 8 4 3 Matt 2 2 1

HVLP / COMPLIANT SPRAYGUNS The most suitable type of HVLP / Compliant sprayguns for the painting of Commercial Transport products are a pressure fed system. Note: If long compressed air lines are used, an increase in pressure will be needed. Air Cap Pressure for HVLP - 0.68 Bar (10 psi) Paint Pressure - 2 / 2.5 Bar inlet

DRYING TIMES The drying times quoted above are approximate times and will vary depending upon drying conditions and film thickness. Poor ventilation, temperatures below 20°C and high film thicknesses will extend drying times. Large vehicles or Heavy section Chassis parts will need extended baking schedules to reach the required Time at Temperature.

NOTES: Allow finishes to harden thoroughly before subjecting to vehicle washes. It is recommended that Delfleet 2K Clears are allowed to cure for at least 7 days prior to any decal application.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING After use clean all equipment thoroughly with cleaning solvent or thinner.

Product Information ENVIROBASE HIGH PERFORMANCE

Envirobase Waterborne Basecoat colour T4xx Envirobase Thinner T494 Envirobase Slow Thinner T495 High Performance Additive T492

PRODUCTS Envirobase High Performance is waterborne basecoat mixing scheme that significantly reduces solvent emissions into the environment and complies with all current and future legislative requirements.

Applied as a part of a two-stage or multi-stage basecoat paint system, mixed Envirobase High Performance colour reproduces original solid, metallic, mica or special effect paint finishes, giving excellent covering power and fade out capability.

In conjunction with high quality PPG Clearcoats and Primers, the Envirobase High Performance system delivers excellent gloss and durability. Easy to use, this is a simple and flexible system capable of high quality vehicle repairs.

ENVIROBASE HIGH PERFORMANCE EXPRESS This is the system to use where high productivity is required. It incorporates accelerated, warm air movement over the surface of the paint film during the flash off periods.

The system raises the booth temperature to between 40 - 45oC during the Envirobase High Performance flash-off period, thereby reducing humidity by about 50%. This process / system has a different application process to the normal

Envirobase High Performance application. By using the Envirobase High Performance Express system, application & drying times can be dramatically reduced, giving quicker process times.

ENVIROBASE HIGH PERFORMANCE - STANDARD PROCESS

APPLICATION, FLASH-OFF AND DRYING

Spraygun set-up: 1.2 - 1.4 mm fluid tip Set pressure according to manufacturers recommendations

Application:

Apply single coats until opacity is obtained.

Flash off thoroughly between coats. Air movers can be used top accelerate drying

Metallic control coat For optimum metallic control, apply control coat at a spraygun inlet pressure of 1.2 - 1.5 bar onto a dry film. For optimum process speed, the control coat may be applied onto a "half dry" film once opacity is reached

Flash-off at 20ºC 60% relative humidity: - before clearcoat

Basecoat must be uniformly matt and dry before application of clearcoat.

Total dry film build: 10 - 20 µm

ENVIROBASE HIGH PERFORMANCE - EXPRESS PROCESS

APPLICATION, FLASH-OFF AND DRYING

Spraygun set-up: 1.2 - 1.4 mm fluid tip Set pressure according to manufacturers

recommendations

Number of coats: Apply as light even double coats until opacity is obtained. Heavy application must be avoided, or aeration/popping may result.

Flash off:

Use air movement plus heat to accelerate drying, - for example Envirobase Express system.

Control coat For flake colours, apply a light control coat onto dry film for even flake appearance. For optimum flake laydown, apply control coat at 1.2 - 1.5 bar inlet pressure.

Before clearcoat: Basecoats should be uniformly matt and dry before clearcoat application

REPAIR AND RECOATING Overcoating: Envirobase High Performance must be overcoated with a

GRS Deltron clearcoat after the minimum flash times.

Recoat time: After 24 hours, 1 coat of Envirobase has to be applied prior to the clearcoat application. The maximum recoat time is 48 hours.

De-nib: It is possible to de-nib Envirobase, after 20 minutes flash off, with fine sanding paper – P1500 (wet/dry paper) using air blowing and a tack rag to remove sanding dust and followed by a spot repair (see FADING-OUT section) prior to the clearcoat application.

Overcoat with: A wide range of Deltron Clearcoats.

(See Clearcoat Technical Data Sheets for information)

FADE-OUT TECHNIQUE Fading-out Envirobase is necessary for spot repair and advised when metallic or mica colours have to be repaired.

Apply basecoat to the prepared area to obliterate the primed area. Reduce the pressure at the spraygun and fade into the surrounding area. Flash off until uniformly matt, for larger areas apply final control coat (metallics and micas) before applying clear.

Alternatively use T490 as follows : Prepare Envirobase colour as specified in the datasheet. Using light inward strokes reach coverage on the repaired area. Thin one part of the ready for use Envirobase with one part of T490 ready to use Use this mixture to fade the repair edges spraying from the outside to the inside the repair area. Repeat the last step until the potential colour difference has been lost. Allow the repair become uniformly matt and dry before clearcoating.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Clean all mixing equipment immediately after use, preferably using a dedicated waterborne equipment cleaning machine.

Use tap water, with a final rinse using deionised water or an alcohol-based cleaner such as D846.

Ensure all equipment is completely dry before storage or use.

SPRAYGUN CLEANING Water is recommended for Spraygun cleaning.

1. Remove the air cap and clean as necessary 2. Decant excess paint from pot into a waste paint container 3. Half fill the pot with water and shake vigorously 4. Empty the resulting waste into the gun cleaning machine 5. Clean off any remaining paint 6. Remove pot and rinse it 7. Clean the internal channels with fresh clean water 8. When the gun is completely clean, re-assemble and flush gun with a small amount of

T494 Envirobase Thinner. 9. Ensure that the spraygun is completely dry before storing or re-using.

Note: Refer to the spraygun cleaning machine manual, before using it for the first time.

WASTE TREATMENT On average, 20 - 50 sprayguns can be washed before the sump is full of waste (25 - 30L). Each new container of T499 powder must be shaken before use. The container is opened as described by the instructions on the lid. Vigorous stirring using an air stirrer is the best route to ensure efficient flocculation.

1. When the sump is full, remove any separating mesh and stir vigorously 2. Add 100g of T499 (1 scoop) to the stirring mixture and continue stirring for 5 minutes. 3. Stop stirring and allow the solid waste to settle. 4. Check that the liquid is completely clear; 5. If not, repeat steps 2 to 4, before continuing the process. 6. Place filter in waste container and open valve at base of machine sump. 7. When the waste treatment sump is empty, wipe the sides, the base and the stirrer before

replacing the separating mesh.(Ensure that mesh is free from powder residue).

WASTE DISPOSAL The sludge collected in the filter is classified as "Controlled Waste" and should be disposed off according to local regulations. The filtrate (liquid) produced from this waste treatment process should not be disposed of into a public sewer without obtaining specific advance authorisation from the local or national water authority. Prior to authorisation, the filtrate can be re-used a number of times for cleaning sprayguns (hereafter referred to as "re-cycled water"). This recycle option is only recommended in combination with a centrally approved manual spraygun cleaning machine such as the Drester 1000 or 2000. The treated water can be recycled a maximum of 10 times before being replaced with fresh water. Recycled water is classified as "Controlled Waste" and should be disposed off according to local regulations. When authorisation has been obtained for disposal to a public sewer, the recycled water method is no longer necessary and therefore fresh water should then be used for all spraygun cleaning purposes.

RLD214V

STORAGE & HANDLING Precautions should be taken to ensure that T499 powder is not inhaled. It is recommended that a dust mask is worn when the powder is being added to the waste mixture. Gloves should be worn when cleaning the waste sump. T499 should be stored in a cool dry place separate from any paint or solvents.

Product Information ENVIROBASE READY MIX

Envirobase Ready Mix Colour T-XXX Envirobase Thinner T494 Envirobase Slow Thinner T495

PRODUCTS Envirobase Ready Mix is a waterborne basecoat colour that significantly reduces solvent emissions into the environment and complies with all current and future legislative requirements.

Applied as a part of a two-stage basecoat paint system, Envirobase Ready Mix colour reproduces original solid, metallic or mica paint finishes, giving excellent covering power and fade out capability. In conjunction with high quality PPG Clearcoats and Primers, the Envirobase Ready Mix system delivers excellent gloss and durability. Easy to use, this is a simple and flexible system capable of high quality vehicle repairs.

ENVIROBASE READY MIX EXPRESS This is the system to use where high productivity is required. It incorporates accelerated, warm air movement over the surface of the paint film during the flash off periods.

The system raises the booth temperature to between 40 - 45oC during the Envirobase Ready Mix flash-off period, thereby reducing humidity by about 50%. This process / system has a different application process to the normal Envirobase Ready Mix application. By using the Envirobase Ready Mix Express system, application & drying times can be dramatically reduced, giving quicker process times.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE Apply over original stoved 2K finishes, or a range of PPG GRS Deltron primers - refer to primer TDS for specific recommendations. The use of GreyMatic primers is recommended for optimum results. Note: Do not apply over 2K Etch Primers

Degrease all surfaces to be painted with appropriate PPG waterborne substrate cleaner before wet sanding with P800 grade paper or dry sanding with P500 grade paper.

Wash off residues and dry thoroughly before re-cleaning with appropriate waterborne PPG precleaner see - Technical Data Sheet Deltron Cleaners RLD63V. The use of a tack-rag is recommended.

PRE-APPLICATION Hand-shake bottles of Envirobase Ready Mix colour for a few seconds before use. Do not shake vigorously.

Ensure that the correct undercoat shade (G1, G2 etc) is applied as recommended on the Envirobase Ready Mix container.

Use nylon paint filters specially designed for use with waterborne paint materials. A 125 micron mesh is recommended, 190 microns maximum.

ENVIROBASE READY MIX - STANDARD PROCESS

APPLICATION, FLASH-OFF AND DRYING

Spraygun set-up: 1.2 - 1.4 mm fluid tip Set pressure according to manufacturers recommendations

Application:

Apply single coats until opacity is obtained.

Flash off thoroughly between coats. Air movers can be used top accelerate drying

Metallic control coat For optimum metallic control, apply control coat at a spraygun inlet pressure of 1.2 - 1.5 bar onto a dry film. For optimum process speed, the control coat may be applied onto a "half dry" film once opacity is reached

Flash-off at 20ºC 60% relative humidity: - before clearcoat

Basecoat must be uniformly matt and dry before application of clearcoat.

Total dry film build: 10 - 20 µm

ENVIROBASE READY MIX - EXPRESS PROCESS

APPLICATION, FLASH-OFF AND DRYING

Spraygun set-up: 1.2 - 1.4 mm fluid tip Set pressure according to manufacturers

recommendations

Number of coats: Apply as light even double coats until opacity is obtained. Heavy application must be avoided, or aeration/popping may result.

Flash off:

Use air movement plus heat to accelerate drying, - for example Envirobase Express system.

Control coat For flake colours, apply a light control coat onto dry film for even flake appearance. For optimum flake laydown, apply control coat at 1.2 - 1.5 bar inlet pressure.

Before clearcoat: Basecoats should be uniformly matt and dry before clearcoat application

Total dry film build: 10 - 20 µm

REPAIR AND RECOATING Overcoating: Envirobase Ready Mix must be overcoated with a Deltron

UHS clearcoat after the minimum flash times.

Recoat time: After 24 hours, 1 coat of Envirobase Ready Mix has to be applied prior to the clearcoat application. The maximum recoat time is 48 hours.

De-nib: It is possible to de-nib Envirobase Ready Mix, after 20 minutes flash off, with fine sanding paper – P1500 (wet/dry paper) using air blowing and a tack rag to remove sanding dust and followed by a spot repair (see FADING-OUT section) prior to the clearcoat application.

Overcoat with: Deltron UHS Clearcoats.

(See Clearcoat Technical Data Sheets for information)

FADE-OUT TECHNIQUE Fading-out Envirobase Ready Mix is necessary for spot repair and advised when metallic or mica colours have to be repaired.

Apply basecoat to the prepared area to obliterate the primed area. Reduce the pressure at the spraygun and fade into the surrounding area. Flash off until uniformly matt, for larger areas apply final control coat (metallics and micas) before applying clear.

Alternatively use T490 as follows : Prepare colour as specified in the datasheet. Using light inward strokes reach coverage on the repaired area. Thin one part of the ready for use colour with one part of T490 ready to use Use this mixture to fade the repair edges spraying from the outside to the inside the repair area. Repeat the last step until the potential colour difference has been lost. Allow the repair become uniformly matt and dry before clearcoating.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING

Clean all mixing equipment immediately after use, preferably using a dedicated waterborne equipment cleaning machine.

Ensure all equipment is completely dry before storage or use.

MATT, SATIN AND TEXTURED FINISHES PAINTING OF FLEXIBLE SUBSTRATES

To obtain a matt, semi-matt (satin) or textured finish with Deltron D8138 Premium UHS Clearcoat, it is necessary to include matt, flex or texture additives in the mix. Additives are also required when applying D8138 over a flexible substrate. The additives required and the appropriate volume and/or weight mix ratios are indicated in microfiches if relevant or in the tables below. Note: The majority of plastics used on cars are considered Rigid. These plastics may have some flexibility when painted off the car, but are rigid once mounted. UHS Clearcoats only require the addition of the Plasticiser Additive (See Flexible chart below) when painting very flexible plastics, mostly found on older vehicles, e.g. foam type.

Keep ready for use paint in good conditions to ensure correct viscosity. RFU temperature above a minimum of 15˚C, and ideally over 18˚C. This includes paint, hardeners and thinners.

Mixing and making ready for use

Activate accurately, and by weight where ever possible. Where mixing must be by volume, only use a round and parallel sided mixing container together with the correct mixing stick. If using a measuring container marked in percentages, you must be sure that the percentages give the correct quantities. Make sure that Hardener and Thinner is mixed in well. High solids or high viscosity products can take a little longer to mix in, so a good practice is to stir Hardener in first, then add thinner before stirring again. Use mixed product as quickly as possible. Choose the correct Hardener for the required bake cycle. Keep to the recommended levels of additives. Do not exceed the recommended level of additives such as Flexibilisers.

Application technique, process and equipment choices

Use correct spraygun set ups, and set up the spraygun correctly. Use a “Single Visit” application wherever possible, following the advice given in the application section. Check that the spraybooth is operating effectively. If necessary make an oven check to be sure that metal temperature is reached, especially on low down repair areas. PPG recommendations are based on time at metal temperature, so this should be allowed for in the bake cycle that is set for the job.

SYSTEM

August 2008

Product Information DELTRON CLEANING AND PREPARATION OF PLASTIC SUBSTRATES PRODUCT DESCRIPTION The PPG Plastic Painting System gives a range of products for the successful painting of all paintable plastic substrates*, from cleaning and preparation through to texturing and topcoating. Thorough preparation and cleaning are essential for the successful refinishing of plastic parts. The plastic cleaning and preparation system is designed to produce the best performance from the primer and topcoat systems. D8434 – Plastic Substrate Cleaner is a detergent cleaner for removing all types of contaminants (e.g. mould release agents and traffic film) as a step in the preparatory process to ensure excellent adhesion of subsequent coatings.

D846 – DX103 Antistatic Agent for Plastics is a specially designed alcoholic blend of solvents formulated to treat plastic surfaces without damaging them and to prevent the build up of static, ensuring a dust free finish.

* Note ; Some grades of PE are considered unpaintable, and some primers are not suitable for use on very solvent sensitive substrates such as Polystyrene (PS). See relevant PDS for details.

Product Information

DELFLEET A689 PRODUCT Delfleet Pot Life Stabiliser A689

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION Some Delfleet 2K materials have short potlives when used at high temperatures. A689 potlife stabiliser is designed to help to overcome this problem. The use of a stabiliser will produce potlife of approximately twice that quoted on the datasheet.

PREPARATION AND APPLICATION With Delfleet 280, 350 and UHS topcoats -A689 should be used as an addition of 30g per mixed litre of topcoat. This ratio can also be used with Delfleet medium or high solids topcoats, or Delfleet 2K urethane primers. With Delfleet UHS Thinners – Pot life stabiliser is incorporated into the F3305/7/8 thinners, so when these thinners are used additions of A689 are not recommended.

Product Information D8501 D8505 D8507 2K Primer DP4000

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION DP4000, designed on the latest primer technology, can be used to optimise the priming process when used in combination with Envirobase High Performance and Deltron Progress UHS. It is designed to deliver a high quality final appearance through a non sand process that is equivalent to a sanded primer. Excellent application, very smooth flow and superb holdout properties are at the core of this product’s performance. Due to the excellent adhesion characteristics of DP4000, no sanding of sound OE electrocoat is required, providing a very fast new panel process. DP4000 can be recoated directly after 15 minutes, or for up to 5 days with no sanding, so new parts can be primed in batches in advance with minimal preparation, and can be held ready for the topcoating process with the rest of the vehicle. The strong adhesion and anti-corrosion characteristics mean that small rub throughs on electrocoated panels do not require the use of an etch primer before DP4000 is applied.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE- SANDING

DP4000 can be applied over a wide range of substrates including:

- Well cleaned unsanded Electrocoat. - Bare steel areas up to 10cm diameter without the need for an Etch Primer - Galvanised Steel for rub throughs up to 10cm maximum diameter - Zintec for rub throughs up to 10cm maximum diameter - Aluminium and alloys for rub throughs up to 10cm maximum diameter - Aged painted and original surfaces sanded with P320 or finer - GRP, Fibreglass P120/ P240/P320 - Polyester Filler P120/ P240/P320

Note: A 2-pack Etch Primer should be applied prior to the application of DP4000 for areas of bare metal above 10cm diameter, area's particularly vulnerable to corrosion or for OEM warranty standard corrosion performance.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE – DEGREASING Before any preparation work, wash all surfaces to be painted with soap and water. Rinse and allow to dry before degreasing with a suitable PPG substrate cleaner. Ensure all substrates are thoroughly cleaned and dried before and after each stage of the preparation work. Always wipe substrate cleaner off the panel surface immediately, using a clean dry cloth.

OVERCOATING

Overcoat / Re-coat time:

Minimum: 15 minutes. Maximum: 5 Days without sanding.

Preclean before topcoating if left more than 8 hours.

Light denibbing and precleaning is recommended if this primer is left more than 3 days before topcoating.

If used for Spot repair, it is recommended that this primer should be force dried either at 60°C for 30 minutes or Infra Red dried. Once cool sand with P400 / 500 before overcoating.

Overcoat with:

Deltron Progress UHS, Envirobase HP

Normally DP4000 does not require flatting and can be directly topcoated. If some dirt inclusion occurs, light flatting/denibbing can be carried out after the first coat of Envirobase High Performance using P800 with foam pad otherwise after force drying for any other need.

PROCESSING ALTERNATIVES DP4000 is especially useful for painting batches of small parts ready for the topcoating process. The excellent flow characteristics allow the OE quality finish to be replicated without sanding. DP4000 can be topcoated using the following alternatives: - Flashed off 15 minutes or any time same day without sanding - Recoated unsanded for up to 5 days.

(light denibbing and precleaning is required after overnight dry to prevent any workshop contamination from the environment from affecting the topcoat performance).

DP4000 CAN BE USED IN PRIMER FILLER MODE USING THE FOLLOWING RECOMMENDATIONS Mix and use the gun set up as recommended in the main Process note. Apply 1 light + 2 full coats This gives a film thickness of approximately 100-110 microns Bake for 30 minutes at 60°C metal temperature. IR medium wave 5 min flash off, followed by a 10 min cure time. IR/GAS 50 cm 110°C. After cooling dry sand with P400 or finer

EQUIPMENT CLEANING After use, clean all equipment thoroughly with suitable cleaning solvent or thinner.

PAINTING PLASTICS DP4000 can be applied directly over well prepared and cleaned ABS, NORYL, PC/PBT, LEXAN, PUR and SMC, as well as sanded and pre-primed bumpers. Large bare plastic sections or rub through areas on bumpers, e.g. PP, TPO, PP/EPDM should be primed first with a light coat of D820 Plastic Primer, and flashed off 10 minutes before the application of DP4000.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE

The Deltron D8113/D8122 Mix Clearcoat must be applied on top of a clean and dust-free basecoat. The light use of a tack cloth is recommended after the basecoat has flashed off. Care should be taken to avoid dirt inclusion at all stages. Rectification of dirt inclusion in Matt or Low Gloss finishes is not possible after the final coat of clearcoat.

D8113/D8122 MIX RATIOS To allow for normal variations in the gloss level, depending on colour, model, position of repair on vehicle, it is possible to mix the D8113 and D8122 as follows to match the required gloss for a particular repair. Lower Gloss Option Higher Gloss Option By Weight By Weight D8113 90 85 D8122 10 15 The resulting mix is then activated and thinned as below. Note: It is strongly recommended that test panels are produced to check for colour and gloss level against the vehicle to be repaired.

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS The Gloss levels achieved with this clear may vary depending upon film thickness and application. Low film thickness and dry application will give a Low Gloss. High film thickness and wet application will give a higher gloss level. It is recommended that this clear be used for complete panel repair only. To remove minor dirt inclusions in the final finish, the repair should be fully dried, de-nibbed after cooling and one further coat of the Clearcoat Mix applied. Care should be taken to avoid too high clearcoat film thicknesses because the final colour could be affected. In this situation, the repair will require sanding and recoating with Basecoat and Clearcoat. Dirt removal from the final Matt Finish is not possible.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF MATT FINISHES The following guidance on Care and Cleaning of matt finish vehicles is aimed at the car owner, and applies to both the OE and the repair finish. Particular care must be taken with Matt Finishes to maintain an original even Matt effect. Guidance for the car owner on maintaining the even matt effect over time

1. In order to keep the Matt surface effect, the use of paint cleaner, abrasives or polishes and wax polishes must be avoided. The vehicle must not be polished.

2. Polishing will lead to a higher, uneven gloss effect.

3. Cleaning/Polishing with unsuitable materials could lead to increased gloss.

4. Automated car washing machines should be avoided. The preferred car washing method

is by hand with a soft sponge, neutral soap and lots of water. Too frequent car washing could over a period of time lead to increased and inconsistent gloss levels across a car panel. Washing under direct sunlight should be avoided.

5. Insects and bird residues should be removed immediately. The residues should be soaked in water to soften and/or removed carefully with a high pressure cleaning equipment. In the case of strongly adhered residues, a spray on insect remover should be used prior to washing.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING After use, clean all equipment thoroughly with cleaning solvent or thinner.

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

The Clearcoats D8115 (Matt) and D8117 (Semi-Gloss) are designed for use over Envirobase High Performance basecoats.

Deltron Matt Clearcoat System consists of two versatile 2K acrylic urethane clearcoats designed to reproduce a range of low gloss levels for the specialised repairs of vehicles or areas of vehicles originally finished with a low gloss clearcoat over a single or multistage colour basecoat system (e.g. Mercedes full body Matt Finish). To allow for the normal gloss variations - due to colour, model, position of repair on vehicle etc., the actual mix of the two Clearcoats can be varied to match the vehicle to be repaired.

The D8115 / D8117 or mixes of the two may be used over rigid plastics without the need for special additives.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE

When masking a repair, care should be taken to minimize direct contact of masking tape onto the original Matt finish. Where it is necessary to use masking tape directly on the original finish, the tape must be removed before baking to avoid marking of the original which may not recover. The Deltron D8115 / D8117 Clearcoats must be applied on top of a clean and dust-free basecoat. The light use of a tack cloth is recommended after the basecoat has flashed off. Care should be taken to avoid dirt inclusion at all stages. Rectification of dirt inclusion in Matt or Low Gloss finishes is not possible after the final coat of clearcoat.

D8115 / D8117 MIX RATIOS

To allow for normal variations in the gloss level, depending on colour, model, position of repair on vehicle, it is possible to mix the D8115 and D8117 together in any ratio to match the required gloss for a particular repair. The % ratio’s quoted below are the best start point for the 5 gloss level ranges.

Gloss Level FC01 FC02 FC03 FC04 FC05

Matt e.g. Lamborghini full body Matt Finish

Low Gloss e.g. Mercedes, Smart, BMW, Fiat full body Matt finishes

Semi Gloss e.g. Older Mercedes Plastic side mouldings

Clearcoat Percentage Parts by Weight (%)

D8115 100 85 70 40 0

D8117 0 15 30 60 100

The resulting mix is then activated and thinned as below. Note: Test panels MUST be produced using the intended hardener/thinner/ratio/spraygun combination to check for colour and gloss level against the vehicle to be repaired. D8718 Thinners are recommended to only be used on small areas or components (Mirror covers etc.)

REPAIR OF FULL BODY MATT FINISHES BLENDING THE WB BASECOAT

Fading out of the Matt Clearcoat itself is not possible because the resulting clearcoat edge cannot be successfully polished to give an invisible repair. However, depending on the colour (Lighter shades) and the effect of the OEM clearcoat, the WB basecoat layer can be faded out using the steps listed below, followed by Matt clearcoating to the next convenient panel edge.

Note: - For darker colours (especially black) depending on the impact of the OEM matt clearcoat on the overall colour match, it is possible that the repair clearcoat combined with the OEM clearcoat could affect the colour compared to the next panel. In such cases this blending technique may not be possible and complete panel repair with basecoat and clearcoat is a more practical option.

1. Prepare the whole panel to be faded onto up to the panel edge or to a break line.

2. Fade the normally thinned basecoat to approx. 30% across the fade out panel at reduced spraygun pressure.

3. Mix some of the remaining thinned basecoat in the gun pot, 1 part basecoat to 3 parts T490 Clear Adjuster. Using the resulting basecoat mix, fade the basecoat further to approx. 60% across the fade out panel, again at reduced spraygun pressure.

4. Pour out the reduced basecoat from the previous step from the gun pot, leaving a small

amount of colour on the sides of the pot. Then add enough T490 for the application of 1 full coat to the fade out panel. Stir the mix to incorporate the small amount of basecoat colour to give the T490 Clear Adjuster a slight tint.

5. Apply 1 full coat of the tinted Clear Adjuster layer over the whole of fade out panel, up to the edge where the Matt Clearcoat will be applied. This coat is applied at normal basecoat pressure. This step will provide an even surface to apply the Matt Clearcoat over. Omitting this step will leave a basecoat edge which could result in uneven gloss levels across the panel.

6. Allow the basecoat to fully flash off as normal before applying the Matt Clearcoat.

7. Using the Matt Clearcoat mix established from the test panels to give to best gloss level match to the area of the vehicle being repaired, apply the Matt Clearcoat following the application recommendation given earlier.

GENERAL CARE AND MAINTENANCE OF MATT FINISHES

The following guidance on Care and Cleaning of matt finish vehicles is aimed at the car owner, and applies to both the OE and the repair finish. Particular care must be taken with Matt Finishes to maintain an original even Matt effect.

Guidance for the car owner on maintaining the even matt effect over time

1. In order to keep the Matt surface effect, the use of paint cleaner, abrasives or polishes and wax polishes must be avoided. The vehicle must not be polished.

2. Polishing will lead to a higher, uneven gloss effect.

3. Cleaning/Polishing with unsuitable materials could alter the Matt effect (generally

increased gloss).

4. Automated car washing machines should be avoided. The preferred car washing method is by hand with a soft sponge, neutral soap and lots of water. Too frequent car washing could over a period of time lead to increased and inconsistent gloss levels across a car panel. Washing under direct sunlight should be avoided.

5. Insects and bird residues should be removed immediately. The residues should be soaked in water to soften and/or removed carefully with a high pressure cleaning equipment. In the case of strongly adhered residues, a spray on insect remover should be used prior to washing.

6. Whenever using any type of cleaning fluids with soft sponges or cloths, it is essential not to apply pressure or rub the Matt finish. A gentle wipe/spray on, wipe off technique should be used. Applying pressure will alter the Matt effect and result in an uneven appearance.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING

After use, clean all equipment thoroughly with cleaning solvent or thinner.

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS

For lower temperatures or improved cure / reduced tape-up times , the addition of F381 Delfleet Accelerator in

additions of 2-4% by weight to the rfu mixture will reduce drying times significantly. Alternatively the addition can

be made directly to the colour prior to activation in the proportion of 3-6% by weight. The addition will affect the

potlife.

EQUIPMENT CLEANING After use clean all equipment thoroughly with cleaning solvent or thinner.

Product Information

DELFLEET F381

PRODUCT Delfleet 2K Accelerator F381 Delfleet 2K products

PRODUCT DRSCRIPTION Delfleet 2K Accelerator is an additive used to assist the drying of polyurethane / isocyanate systems only, when the temperature is below 15°C.

SUBSTRATE PRE-TREATMENT Please refer to the relevant product data sheet for preparation details

APPLICATION GUIDE Delfleet Accelerator F381 may be added to the colour prior to the addition of hardener in the proportion of 3 - 6% by weight (40 - 80cc or 35 - 70 gm per litre). Alternatively F381 may be added at the colour ready-to-spray stage in the proportion of 2 - 4% by weight (26 - 52cc or 23 - 46 gm per litre).

PERFORMANCE AND LIMITATIONS The addition of accelerator reduces the potlife and should usually be used for small surfaces only . An excess of accelerator can reduce the flow and the gloss.

Product Information D854 TRANSPARENT SEALER

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION D854 Transparent Sealer is ideal for the rapid repainting of sound original substrates.

D854 promotes excellent gloss holdout of 2K topcoats over a range of sanded substrates. These include OE finishes, any sound aged paint surface, and non-synthetic primer-surfacers.

For the repainting of OE or other sound paintwork, D854 sealer will also perform as a simple adhesion promoter, eliminating the requirement to sand the substrate.

D854 is especially recommended when a wet-on wet paint system is required to save labour costs during the sanding process, and since it is transparent it is especially suited to respray work, avoiding the need for long and delicate masking around door-shuts, panel edges etc.

PREPARATION OF SUBSTRATE

In all cases, select the appropriate PPG cleaner(s). See Technical Data Sheet: Deltron Cleaners RLD63. Ensure that the substrate is thoroughly cleaned and dried both before and after preparation work. When using sealer as a wet-on wet sealer OE or existing paintwork should be sanded back to sound substrate layers using P320-360 grit discs (dry) or P600-800 grade paper (wet). Any exposed bare metal should be spot primed with D831 Universel Chromate-free Wash Primer. Primed surfaces should be sanded with P320 grit discs (dry) or P600 grade paper (wet). When using sealer as an adhesion promoter Sound OE or existing paintwork should simply be cleaned thoroughly. Areas particularly susceptible to stone chip damage - leading edges, wheel arches or sills, for example, will benefit from additional adhesion if abraded with a scotchbrite pad.

Technical Data Sheet T001V. SPP Polishing System. Page 2

PREPARATION OF POLISHING PADS

Conditioning of pads before first use is required This is done by: • Add 5ml of polish onto the pad • At low speed, work polish into pad • Repeat this process until pad is saturated

APPLICATION

When to polish After the “Into Service” times recommended in the appropriate technical datasheet. Allow the vehicle to cool and the new paint film to through harden. For example, allow 2K to air-dry approximately 16 hours. After a full bake cycle, allow approximately 1 hour after removal from oven to cool fully. Polishing is generally easier if completed up to 48 hours from the “Into Service time”.
