Painting the Drive (XDP-B Only)

Preparation

WARNING! Always follow the manufacturers
instructions regarding personal protection
when handling chemicals. You should always
wear eye protection and gloves as a good
work habit.
1. Remove all marine growth.
2. Use sandpaper or sandblast to remove loose
paint and corrosion. Use a medium grit aluminum
oxide sandpaper. If sandblasting use 55 - 25 grit
(0.2 - 0.7mm) aluminum oxide blasting media.
3. Wash with hot water and detergent to remove all
traces of oil and grease.
4. Roughen any painted areas that will be re-coated
with a medium synthetic scouring pad or equiva-
lent (i.e. 3M Scotchbrite™).
5. Rinse with water thoroughly and allow to air dry.
Do not use a rag to wipe the area as some rags
may have silicone.

Paint Application (XDP-B Only)

1. The part should be painted soon after it dries, or
at least within 24 hours.
2. Make sure that the surface is fully dry before
painting.
•
Do not blow dry the part with compressed air
unless it is completely free of dirt, oil and
water.
•
Do not heat the part above 140°F before
painting.
•
Do not touch the clean surface with bare
hands before painting.
•
It is best to let the part air dry, but if you must
wipe the surface to speed up drying, use a
lint free wipe not treated with anything that
may contaminate the surface. Do not scrub
the surface — wipe very lightly.
3. Where the primer coat is thin or where the sur-
face is unpainted, prime with Volvo Penta primer
P/N 11415627 or an equivalent epoxy primer (i.e.
PPG® Super Koropon). Do not apply primer over
a glossy hard finish coat without roughening.
Primer solvents must be allowed to evaporate
and the primer must harden before applying the
finish coat. Follow the label instructions for
method applications, drying times, and proper
disposal of residual product.
4. Apply finish coat. Volvo Penta Parts Catalogs and
the Volvo Penta Parts and Accessories Catalog
list part numbers for the finishing products that
apply to your Volvo Penta product.
