CAUTION:
Cautions regarding panel repairs:
1. When repainting original parts, do so after first masking the theft-protection label. After painting, be sure to peel off the masking tape.
2. The theft-protection label for replacement parts is covered by masking tape, so such parts can be painted as is. The masking tape should be removed after painting is finished.
3. The theft-protection label should not be removed from original parts or replacement parts.
