Touch-up paint
Repainting areas of bodywork to a natural boundary
1. Wet-grind the whole surface thoroughly with No.
600 paper.
2. Fill any holes and pores with polyester filler.
3. Allow the polyester filler to dry.
4. Wet-grind the polyester filler, finishing with No. 600
paper.
5 Allow to ciry after grinding.
6. Mix the lacquer and hardener in the proportions 2 parts
Lacquer to 1 part Hardener and dilute to a sprayable
viscosity with Thinner, taking care to measure the
proportions of lacquer and hardener accurately.
Spray two or three times wet on wet at a viscosity
of 16-17 sec/Frikmar 4/20°C.
7. The paint will be dry to the touch in two or three
hours. Polishing, if required, should be left until the
next day (allowing about 16 hours for thorough dry-
ing). Drying can however be forced by using the oven;
after one hour at 80°C (176°F) the paintwork will
be bone dry and can be pol ished as described under

Touching-up should preferably be avoided, but if needed
on secondary surfaces it can be done as follows:
1. Wet-grind the damaged spot thoroughly with No.
400 paper.
2. Fill any holes and pores with polyester filler.
3. Allow the polyester filler to dry.
4. Wet-grind the polyester filler, finishing with No.
600 paper. Grind an area round the damaged spot;
this area must be big enough to avoid having to
spray on unground paintwork.
5. Allow to dry after grinding.
6.
Mix the lacquer and hardener in the proportions
2 parts Lacquer to 1 part Hardener and dilute to a
sprayable viscosity with Thinner, tak ing care to
measure the proportions between lacquer and
hardener accurately.
Spray two or three times wet on wet at a viscosity
of 16-17 sec/Frikmar 4120°C. Before the lacquer
has time to stiffen after the last application, spray
the touched-up area and boundary zones with
Thinner.
