1 Quality paint repair

a) Preparation

Within the preparation step, cleaning is paramount to

ensure there is no risk of contamination to the repair being

executed. Highly trained personnel along with well

equipped workstations ensure the execution of high quality

repairs at all times.

Well-organized and clean working places form the basis of

high quality repairs. They can vary from bodyshop to

bodyshop, but they should follow the same concept.

The right process will influence the end result.

Standardised processes ensure an efficient repair at all

times, with well equipped work stations and dedicated tools

for the type of repair.

A well organized work station improves the efficiency of the

work flow and the quality of the repair.

First rule: good housekeeping is very important. This

applies to the work station, the workshop floor, staff and

equipment. Quality improvement systems will support to

reach the optimum process.

All objects which are being repaired have to be cleaned

before preparation and application of the approved paint

system and products. It is recommended to use only high

quality cleaning cloths and to always use two cloths. One

cloth for the wet cleaning and the second cloth to wipe the

surface dry again.

Substrates made of metal are “clean” when no colored

contaminations are left on the cleaning cloth.

The use of the correct personal protection equipment

(PPE) is critical:

1. For health & safety reasons along with personal

protection and well-being.

2. To avoid contamination and paint defect caused

by contact by hand etc.

Country specific regulations on health and safety have to

be followed.

Working with approved paint systems and processes

ensures that each repair type being executed is carried out

effectively and to a high quality.

b) Tools

Tools and equipment play an important role in achieving a

high quality repair. Tools should be maintained and

serviced at regular intervals as per the manufacturers’

recommendations.

Sanding tools and dust extraction

It is necessary to use the right sanding tools in combination

with an operational dust extraction system to reach a high

quality result.

Cars are manufactured using different types of substrates

like plastics, aluminum, carbon fibre and different strength

metals. It is critical to use the recommended systems

according to the substrate.

Aluminum

A separate working place is needed for the repair and

preparation of aluminum. Preparation of aluminum and

steel substrates with the same tools will cause contact

corrosion.

A working place for aluminum preparation needs dedicated

equipment, e.g. separate sanding tools and dust extraction.

Carbon (CFK)

To avoid contamination between different substrates,

dedicated tooling should be used also for these types of

substrates.

Sanding tools need to be connected to the central dust

extraction system at the work station. This will minimise the

amount of sanding dust and ensure a high quality repair. It

is recommneded to follow the intructions and guidelines set

out by the tool manufacturer.

c) Dry sanding

All sanding steps are recommended by dry sanding, as it

ensures an economical and ecological process.

Dry sanding requires usage of the right tools and

appropriate sanding paper, following the recommendations

of the paint and abrasive manufacturer.

Sanding recommendations for all repair types can be found

in the written systems.

Both parties (paint and abrasive manufacturer) are eager

to optimize the process inside the bodyshop to achieve a

constant high quality repair.

Choosing the right sanding tool and material for the repair

type (substrate) will lead to high quality results.

d) EP filler

To reach an optimum corrosion protection special products

based on different resins are needed. Products based on

Epoxy resins show these characteristics.

Epoxy Primers give very good adhesion and corrosion

protection. They also have a very high resistance to

chemicals and humidity.

Note:

EP Primer Fillers shall be used only for the following repair

types:

Seam Sealing

Underbody Protection

Windscreen Bonding

EP resin based products such as primers are widely used

for restoring “Classic Cars”.

The surface has to be cleaned with the selected surface cleaner and a clean cloth. Immediately thereafter, the surface has to be wiped dry thoroughly with high quality absorbent degreasing cloths. Two cloths have to be used, as one cloth will merely shift rather than remove dirt and grease. The surface cleaner should not evaporate as the contamination on the surface will remain. The surface has to be wiped dry thoroughly before the degreaser evaporates.

Check on color by making spray-outs first.

Spray-outs must be sprayed vertically; at least 5 spray cards are needed.

Non sanding filler according to TDS to be applied.

Color sample

The bottom of spray cards needs to be masked, so that filler color can be made visible by removing mask.

The foundation color according to TDS has to be applied.

After drying a further section of masking tape is to be applied to lower section of the spray card.

Color sample

All cards except one has to be masked, one layer of the effect color to be applied.

After flash-off removal of masking paper to show 2 spray cards. One layer of the effect color to be applied.

After flash-off removal of masking paper to show 3 spray cards. One layer of the effect color to be applied.

Color sample

After flash-off the paper has to be removed. 4 samples are now visible, 1 extra layer has to be applied.

The masking paper needs to be removed and the final layer of effect color has to be applied. When completely dry and matt, the clearcoat according TDS follows.

Once the clearcoat is dry the masking tape has to be removed. On the back of each spray card the number of layers applied needs to be written down.

Color check

The sample with best match to the object has to be selected.

b) Matt finishes - cleaning and maintenance

Cleaning and maintenance

When

When a vehicle is freshly painted the paint film is at its most sensitive with respect to attack

by chemical cleaner and the cleaning process. It is recommended that freshly painted

vehicles be allowed a minimum of 7 days before being subjected to any form of chemical

cleaning process, ideally extended to 21 days.

Method

The use of a car wash or any type of brush to wash/clean Matt Finishes is not recommended!

The vehicle must be cleaned with clean cold water preferably using a hose or a pressure

washer to remove any loose road traffic film and dust particles. The use of a high pressure

steam washer is not recommended.

The vehicle can then be washed by using a PH neutral based soap and soft sponge to

minimize the risk of any type of abrasions.

At all times excessive rubbing of the paint surface should be avoided as this could lead to the

surface becoming glossier in appearance.

Again the surface has to be rinsed with clean cold water preferably using a hose or a

pressure washer. The vehicle should dry naturally until only a few water drops are present on

the surface. To remove the remaining water drops and to prevent any water marking the

surface has to be dried gently by using a soft chamois avoiding excessive rubbing of the

paint surface.

The vehicle should not be washed in direct sunlight and or when the vehicle surface

temperature is excessive i.e. above 25°C.

Any contamination found on the paint surface should be removed immediately i.e. bird lime

or insects etc. The affected area must be soaked with clean water preferably with a hose or

high pressure washer to soften the contaminated area. The contamination should removed

gently by using a soft sponge and PH neutral soap.

For difficult to remove contamination it may be necessary to use a solution designed

specifically to remove insects, etc. According products can be found in car care shops. Care

should be taken not to allow any type of solution to dry on the paint surface as this could

damage the surface even further.

The manufacturer’s instructions on use have to be followed always.

Maintenance

It is not possible to carry out any type of polishing or waxing to a Matt Finish. Polishing or

waxing of the matt finish will only lead to areas being left glossy due to the rubbing technique

and abrasive compounds found in polishing materials.

Regular washing is the only way possible to maintain the paint surface as described above.

Contamination has to be removed as soon as it becomes visible using the method detailed

above.

Particular care should also be taken when opening and closing doors, bonnet and boot lid as

excessive rubbing around handle areas will also lead to the area becoming glossy.

For further information please contact your local Technical Sales Representative.

The surface has to be cleaned with the selected surface cleaner and a clean cloth. Immediately thereafter, the surface has to be wiped dry thoroughly with high quality absorbent degreasing cloths. Two cloths have to be used, as one cloth will merely shift rather than remove dirt and grease. The surface cleaner should not evaporate as the contamination on the surface will remain. The surface has to be wiped dry thoroughly before the degreaser evaporates.

c) Color formula

Automatchic

The advanced Automatchic combined with the Mixit Pro color retrieval software

delivers simple and high quality color matching. Operation is straightforward. After

reading the color, the software automatically searches for the closest color formula

and optimizes this formula if needed. For difficult colors, Automatchic offers a unique

step that automatically tints the chosen formula. Based on state of the art LED

technology, it is easy to position and handle. A light barrier prevents interference from

external light sources, so that there can be no mistakes in color reading. Automatchic

makes it easy to find the best color formula for almost any car color on the road.

Mixit Pro

Mixit Pro is Sikkens’ easy to use color retrieval software. When connected to the

internet, Mixit Pro synchronizes to download the latest available updated formula and

software. Searching and finding the right color is very easy using the step by step

functionality. Beyond formula retrieval Mixit Pro has everything you need for fast and

efficient color management. Mixit Pro has a range of reports to enable the bodyshop

to analyse consumption and material costs per repair.

ColorScala Pro

ColorScala Pro is the ideal choice for the perfect color match. Large, separate

sprayed cards make it easy to find the right variant. These variants represent the

actual formula to mix, guaranteeing the most reliable results and the highest color

accuracy possible. ColorScala Pro is both extensive and user friendly. It visualizes

only the variants most likely to occur and represents a relevant color difference.

Online and mobile color retrieval

Mixit Online is an application that enables color matching online. Users can easily

access color formulas at anytime quickly. There are three search options available:

manufacturer, house colors or color groups. This allows the user to access formulas

depending on the information they have to search. In addition, the users are also

provided with further information quickly and reliably, this includes an overview of the

variants and an indication of where the color can be found in ColorScala Pro.
