GFX: Ultra 7000 Repaired Metal Part Refinishing Best Demonstrated Practice
Solvent test the coating by the repair area. If insoluble, proceed to Step two. If soluble, either remove the coating or prepare the panel to be completely primed. It is important that all body work must be finished with 180 grit sandpaper. Feather edge the repair area with 220 grit sandpaper, followed by 320 grit sandpaper. Extend the sanded area around the repair area with 400 grit sandpaper to accommodate the primer application. Note, thoroughly clean the part with an approved surface cleaner and wipe dry with a clean cloth. Areas with bare metal larger than five inches by five inches must be treated with an approved self-etching primer. Apply two to three coats of P27 or P30 Spectra Prime Color Prime Surfacer, making sure that primer is not applied beyond the 400 grit sand scratches. If needed, apply a dry guide coat before block sanding. Block sand with 400 grit sandpaper and reapply the dry guide coat to the repair area. Finish sand the repair area with 600 grit sandpaper.
If using a D.A. to finish sand, an interface pad may be used. Apply Ultra 7000 basecoat with RHF reducer. Allow the Ultra 7000 basecoat to flash 6 to 8 minutes, checking your basecoat in an inconspicuous spot using the quarter finger turn method to ensure it is dry. Note that as the basecoat dries, its appearance will turn into a uniformed dull finish. Wait for the basecoat to flash 10 to 20 minutes prior to clear coating, apply one of the premium clear coats following all mixing and application recommendations.
