Refinishing Procedures (cont'd)
Paint
Body parts being dried with an
industrial dryer can get hot enough to cause injury.
Do not touch parts being dried.
• After spraying, allow the paint to settle for about
10 minutes, then force dry with an infrared lamp.
NOTE: Follow the paint manufacturer's instructions.
17. Polishing/Buffing
• Let the paint dry gradually, then polish the surface
carefully using a polishing compound and sponge
buff.
• To remove lint or dirt, wet sand the surface with
#2000 paper or finer first, then polish with
compound.
NOTE: Polish all roughness caused by sanding thor-
oughly. To do this, first polish with very fine com-
pound, then with ultra fine compound.
• After polishing, remove the masking paper and
tape, then wash the entire vehicle thoroughly.
