g. Painting the Repair:
Not all lacquers or enamels can be used on thermoplastics.
Some paint solvents will affect and degrade the plastic properties.
Do not use hard, brittle coatings in flexing, impact, or high
stress areas. Such coating may crack, creating a weak area.
1. An important factor in obtaining a quality paint finish is the proper preparation of the repair
and surrounding area before applying any paint.
2. Clean parts before painting with a commercial cleaner or a solution made from 1/4 cup of
detergent mixed with one gallon of water.
3. Use lacquer or enamel paint for thermoplastic repair.
