| With Two-Part Plastic Adhesive Filler -LKF 696 009 A2-/-LKF
696 040 A2- insulated base surfaces on plastic surfaces |
| See special instructions. Refer to
→ Anchor. |
|
|
|
| Pre-treatment of Base Surfaces: |
| – |
Clean the factory or old paint or two-part HS filler
thoroughly with Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or Silicone
Remover, Long -LVM 020 100 A5-. |
|
|
|
| – |
Dry-sand with rotary sander with 500 grit and dust
extraction or wet-sand with water-resistant P800-1000 grit
sandpaper. |
|
|
|
| – |
Sand the bordering area/part around the repair area
thoroughly with an ultrafine P1000-3000 sanding pad. If beading,
edges or grip recesses are present, use a sanding pad
beforehand. |
|
|
|
| – |
Use a suitable cleaning agent before reworking to ensure a
clean and residue-free surface. |
| – |
Wipe off any residual silicone remover with a lint-free
cloth, leaving no streaks. |
|
|
|
| – |
Allow wet-sanded surfaces and cleaned surfaces to dry
completely. |
| When using a dust extraction, use next generation towels
with an effective light adhesive formula to minimize the risk of
chemical or adhesive residue (for example, Dust Cloth
-VAS6177-). Refer to
→ Chapter „Dust Cloth -VAS6177-“. |
| Sanded-through areas must be insulated with One-Part Wash
Primer -LVM 044 007 A2-/-LVM 044 171 A2-. The sanded-through
areas should not be larger than 5.0 cm in diameter. |
| When using the two-part HS filler, any bare areas must be
insulated with Two-Part Wash Primer -LHV 043 000 A2- or One-Part
Wash Primer -LVM 044 007 A2-/-LVM 044 171 A2-. |

| Processing/Repair Process |
| Touch-up painting inside surface, e.g. side component: |
| – |
Pre-treating the base surface
→ Anchor. |
|
|
|
| – |
Apply 1 to 2 complete spray applications of the Touch-Up
Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3- with normal pressure
in each touch-up area around the repair area. |
|
|
|
| – |
Apply the first spray application of the adjusted
water-based base paint to the repair area up to the edge of the
wet touch-up additive. Immediately after that, apply the half
effect/finish spray application onto the wet touch-up additive
from a distance. |
 Note
| When doing so, make sure that the touch-up area is
larger/wider than the repair area and that it lies on the wet
Touch-Up Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3-. |
|
|
|
| – |
After ventilating, apply a two-part HS clear coat over the
entire repair surface. |
Note
| While processing the Aqua premium water-based base paint,
the spray gun material flow/trigger remains completely open. |
| The spraying pressure for the effect spray application can
vary between 1.5 and 2.0 bar depending on the size of the
object. |
|

| – |
Pre-treating the base surface
→ Anchor. |
Note
| The repair/filler area should be kept as small as possible. |
| For most colors, use the adjusted water-based base paint. |
| Possibility »b« (recommended for
colors with a high percentage of metal): |
| Adjust the Aqua premium water-based base paint in a 1:1
ratio with Touch-Up Additive for Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3- +
10 % Flop Control -LWM 085 386 A2- (Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM
035 200/301 ...- is not required). |
| Use the Aqua premium measuring stick for clever repair to
adjust the mixing ratio. |
|
|
|
| – |
Depending on the color and covering capacity, apply 3-5
spray applications of this mixture with reduced pressure
(0.8-1.5 bar) to the repair area/run-off area. |
Note
| Make sure that each spray application is performed a little
bit further and allowed to ventilate and matt. The drying time
can be accelerated by »blowing on«
it. |
|
|
|
| – |
After an appropriate final ventilation time, paint over with
two-part HS clear coat. |
|
|
|
| Touching-up three layer colors: |
| – |
Pre-treating the base surface
→ Anchor. |
|
|
|
| – |
Apply the primary color shade, adjusted for the 5 % Aqua
Premium Hardener -LVM 045 000 A1- and 10 % Additive For Aqua
Premium -LVM 035 200 A3/LVM 035 300 ...- for solid colors or 20
% Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 200 A3/LVM 035 300 ...- for
effect colors, onto the repair area and on the bordering
touch-up area up to the covering capacity. |
Note
| Test spraying on sheet metal is recommended. |
| Use the Aqua premium measuring stick for 3 coat colors to
adjust the mixing ratio. |
| Observe the drying times. |
|
|
|
| – |
Apply 1 to 2 complete spray applications of the Touch-Up
Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3- with normal pressure
to each base color run-out area or bordering component. |
| – |
Apply going from the run-out area to the repair area. This
means, apply the first effect color spray application in the
run-out area to the Touch-Up Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035
100 A3- (“wet in wet”). |
|
|
|
| – |
Then paint the next effect color layer near the repair area. |
| – |
For some effect color, it is necessary to apply 2-3 more
spray application to achieve the desired optical effect.
Normally, apply spray applications “wet-in-wet” and without
intermediate ventilation. |
Note
| Starting with the first spray application, it is recommended
to even out the subsequent repair area/base color spray
applications starting from the touch-up area that is farthest
out. For that reason, the subsequent spray applications should
always be remain inside the previous spray application, in order
to avoid visible contours/shadows. |
| For a better assessment, it is recommended to test spray on
sheet metal before every spray application. |
|
|
|
| – |
After ventilating, apply a two-part HS clear coat over the
entire repair surface. |
Note
| While processing the Aqua premium water-based base paint,
the spray gun material flow/trigger remains completely open. |
| The spraying pressure for the effect spray application can
vary between 1.5 and 2.0 bar depending on the size of the
object. |
| For efficient ventilating and drying, stationary blowing
devices or forced drying (e.g. oven drying) are recommended. |
| The spray devices should be suitable for use with
water-soluble products; see manufacturer's information. |
| The mixing paints in this top coat series can only be used
within the color tone formulas. When processing individual
mixing paints on their own, major deviations from the
information given in the application instructions are possible. |
| Rinse before and after using with Aquaplus Purified Water -LVW
010 000 A5-. Then rinse with Nitrocellulose Thinner -LVE 856 000
A3-. |
| Collect liquid waste from water-soluble products and
separate from liquid waste from conventional products. When
mixing materials, disposal may no longer be possible, which is
difficult and costly. |
| Wear a breathing mask when using water-soluble products. |
