Body Painting - Factory Five Racing Mk4 Roadster Assembly Manual

Body Painting

 Remove all trim, doors, windshield etc. before beginning body work
 The primer gel coat sands easily, and is a forgiving material to work with.
 The body comes out of the mold with a wax release compound and a thorough cleaning with a wax
remover is the best way to begin this job.
 A lot of time and energy was spent on the mold so that the body work can be kept to a minimum.
Our body shop has stated that any more than 40 hours of body work is unnecessary with the Mk IV
body.
 Allow the bodywork or repairs performed to sit for several days outside in the sun or at elevated
temperatures to allow the repair materials to cure before final paint.
