Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Aquaplus Design and Multi-Color Paintwork
| In order to achieve error-free design and multi-colored
paint applications using Aquaplus solid, metallic, pearlescent
base paint, pay attention to the important notes and in some
cases use special tools. |
| If the design is sketched out on the base surface (filler,
paint) do not use any marking pens with water soluble colors to
prevent it from »bleeding through«
in the base paints. If it is not possible the markings must be
carefully removed using Silicone Remover -LSW 019 000 A5- after
covering the design. |
| Covering the Base Surfaces (Two-Part HS Top Coat) |
| For work on two-part HS top coats commercially available
outline/decorative tape and masking tape are used. |
| Covering the Aqua Plus Solid, Metallic, Pearlescent Base
Paint |
| Use commercially available outline/decorative tape and
masking tape. |
| Carefully apply outline and masking tape. |
| If surfaces are to be covered, use cover sheeting (To avoid
marks) |
| Do not leave outline and masking tape on the surfaces longer
than necessary. |
| Dry the Individual Water Based Paint Layers. |
| Heated drying is not recommended, because there is a risk
that the glue from the outline and masking tape will transfer to
the water-based paint. |
| The individual water based paint layers can be dried with an
air nozzle or slightly raised temperature. These are the most
effective drying methods. |
| For the individual colors the application of a layer of more
than 40 µm thick must be prevented. As a result, problems may
arise, such as the film debonding when exposing, during drying
or with covering ability. |
| Multi-color Coats with Insulating Layer |
| On multi-color finishes, it is recommended to insulate the
individually applied coats with HS clear coat to prevent
»bleeding through« or discoloring on
the individual coats. |
| For this kind of insolation layer the Two-Part HS Vario
Clear Coat - L2K 769 K01 A5- mixed with Two-Part HS Hardener,
Short -LHA 021 004 A3- is especially suitable. |
| To achieve an acceptable drying or covering ability the user
or longer hardener is not recommended. |
| The insolation layer is applied exclusively on the Aquaplus
water-based base paint. |
| Then carry out the required steps as an example for a
multi-color paintwork of three color shades. |

°F). |
|
|
|
| 20 minutes at +20 °C (68 °F) and 30 minutes at +60 °C (140
°F) |
| After drying allow it to cool. |
| – |
Tape off the contours with commercially available tape or
foil. |
|

°F) |
| After drying allow it to cool. |
| – |
Tape off the contours with commercially available tape or
foil. |

 Note
| For the required neighboring surfaces only use plastic film,
to prevent dissolving of the paint coats already applied. |
| By covering the markings they will disappear due to the
following clear coat application. |
| For all additional parameters for the application of the
respective relevant products refer to the respective technical
application information. |
