Recreating surface structure on bumpers, spoilers and scuff plates
|
This procedure allows you to recreate the structure of visible unpainted surfaces after welding and sanding. This method can also be used to repair light and very superficial scratches
|
Note
|
|
Always use a gravity feed spray gun with the recommended nozzle (1.8 - 2.4 mm).
|
|
HVLP sprays also provide good results.
|
|
1.
|
Sand the damaged area with abrasive paper (grade 400 - 500).
|
|
2.
|
Clean the part with Teroson FL cleaner.
|
|
3.
|
Mask the part so that only the damaged area is visible.
|
|
4.
|
Start by priming the damaged area with two layers of a surface structure treatment mixture.
Mixture:
70% Terotex 3000 (white or black)
20% 2K paint
To maintain durability, 2K paint must always be used, even for black or white products.
10% Standard curing agent
(suitable for paint), but not MS type.
|
|
5.
|
Allow to dry and sand if required.
|
|
6.
|
“Shower” carefully with the mixture. If a coarser structure is desired, lower the spray pressure and hold the spray gun at a greater distance. If a finer structure is desired, increase the spray pressure and hold the gun closer.
|
|
7.
|
Place the part in a paint oven at 60°C, so that the structure sets.
|
Useful tips; The mixture can also be used to “raise” small plastic burrs on sanded surfaces. The part can be cured in an oven at 60°C and then rubbed with an abrasive cloth, Scotchbrite or the like.
