3. Apply adhesion promoter over the complete panel.

4. Apply base color to hide.

5. Use the let-down panel to determine how many pearl luster coats will be required.

TYPICAL FULL PANEL REPAIR
1. Apply primer-surfacer as required. Follow labeled directions.

NOTE: For best results, a light color primer or sealer should be used under the base coat.

2. Wet sand the complete panel with #400 grit sandpaper.

3. Compound or wet sand the complete panels that will be blended into using ultra-fine or finer sandpaper, and wash entire area with a cleaning solvent.

4. Apply adhesion promoter over the complete repair and blend panels.

5. Mask off the blend panels and apply the base coat to hide on the repair panel.

6. Use the let-down panel to determine the number of pearl luster coats required to match the adjacent panels.

7. Apply the required number of pearl luster coats to the repair panel allowing sufficient flash time in between coats and let dry. Pull back the masking paper form the adjacent panel to check for color match. IF THE REPAIR PANEL IS LIGHTER THAN THE ADJACENT PANELS, replace the masking paper and apply additional pearl luster to the panel.

8. Remove masking paper from the blend panels and apply one or more additional coats of pearl luster over the repair panel and onto the adjacent blend panels using an arching motion. If additional coats are necessary, extend each coat beyond the last on the blend panel.

9. Clearcoat the complete repair and adjacent blend panels.
