Note: Wipe surface in one direction only to prevent smearing contaminates. For
maximum results, wipe dry with clean white cloths in one direction only,
while the surface is still wet.
(f) Mix surfacer per manufacturer's instructions, mix thoroughly.
(g) Apply surfacer as recommended by the manufacturer. Allow surfacer to fully cure.
(h) To determine low areas after application of the first surfacer coat, block sand with 120-grit
sandpaper. Once the low areas are located, apply body filler to those areas. (Refer to 51-
30)
Note: The low area is defined as the surface in which the sandpaper doesn’t con-
tact the surfacer when block sanded. The aforementioned procedures may
need to be performed more than once in order to remove all remaining
imperfections, pinholes, or waviness.
Minor texture defects can be sanded out using 120-grit sandpaper. If
required, up to three additional coats of surfacer may be applied. Small
imperfections such as minor scratches and pinholes can be filled with spot
putty and sanded out with 320-grit sandpaper.
(i) After body filler is fully cured and contoured to the proper shape, blow surface clean with
compressed air.
(j) Solvent clean the application area with DX 330. (Refer to 20-30)
Note: Wipe surface in one direction only to prevent smearing contaminates. For
maximum results, wipe dry with clean white cloths in one direction only,
while the surface is still wet.
(k) After solvent cleaning, inspect application for any cosmetic blemishes and minor surface
defects. If needed, apply spot putty to those areas. (Refer to 51-30)
Note: If the surfacer was sanded or spot putty was applied, apply another surfacer
coat to that area.
(l) Dry sand the final surface coat with 320-grit followed by 400-grit wet/dry.
(m) After final sanding, examine the surface for any imperfections. If needed, resurface the
entire part.
Note: Surface should be free of sags, runs, fisheyes, orange-peel, over-spray and
other defects. After application of the final surfacer coat, the surface should
be as smooth and defect free as practical. The surface is now ready to be
sealed. (Refer to 51-30)
(n) Apply sealer. (Refer to 51-30)
