Full Panel Repair-Blending Into Adjacent Panels

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

2. Apply primer-surfacer as required. Follow labeled instructions.

IMPORTANT:
For best results, light color primers or sealers should be used under the base white coat.

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

4. Mask off the blend panels and apply the basecoat to hide on the repair panel. Use the let-down panel to determine the number of pearl luster coats required to match the adjacent panels.

5. Apply the required number of pearl luster coats to the repair panel, allowing sufficient flash time, between coats and let dry. Pull back the masking paper from the adjacent panels 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. Allow sufficient flash time between coats.

a. 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 panel using an arching motion.

b. If additional coats are necessary, extend each coat beyond the last on the blend panel.

6. Clearcoat the complete repair and adjacent blend panels.
