Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Aquaplus System (Pearl Effect and Heliochrome)
| Water-Based Pearl Effect Base Paint -LPW 040 ...- |
| Water-Based Heliochrome Base Paint -LHW 046 ...- |
| Water-Based Pearl Effect Mixed Paint -LWM 076 ...- |
| The Aquaplus System is a high-quality water-soluble
basepaint system based on special PU dispersions |
| The basepaint for pearl effect/heliochrome two-coat
paintwork or pearlescent three-coat paintwork can be used on
passenger and work vehicles. |
| Good stability under load |
| Can be painted over with two-part HS clear coat |
 Note
| After painting over with two-part HS clear coat it produces
a high-gloss, weatherproof top coat. |
| Primed and filled surfaces (two-part HS filler) |
| with One-Part Wash Primer -LVM 044 007 A2-/-LVM 044 171 A2-
insulated base surfaces |
| 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 and dust extraction, P400-500
grit. |
|
|
|
| – |
Or “wet”-sand with P800-1000 sandpaper. |
|
|
|
| – |
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. |
| 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-. |
| Plastic containers or tin-coated cans painted on the inside |
| Filter watery base paint through water-tight, 125 µm
strainers before working with cup systems |
| Aquaplus Purified Water -LVW 010 000 A5- (according to ISO
3696) |
| Use an Aquaplus measuring stick. |
| An addition of 0 to 5 % Purified Water -LVW 010 000 A5- is
sufficient at higher temperatures (>+25 °C (77 °F)) and a high
relative humidity (> 60 %). |
| With three-coat pearlescent color shades, a special base
surface color is required (for applying solid water-based base
paint). Each color shade should be determined using the formula
information system. |
| For pearlescent paints, apply pearl effect water-based base
paint. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| – |
Processing viscosity at +20 °C (68 °F) material temperature
is the mixing viscosity for “Compliant” and “HVLP”. |
|
|
|
| – |
Add 10 % thinner at +20 °C (68 °F) material temperature. |
|
|
|
| – |
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information):
“Compliant” 1.2 to 1.3 mm. |
| – |
Set spray nozzle (see manufacturer's information): “HVLP”
WSB/1.3 mm. |
| – |
Set spray pressure (see manufacturer's information):
“Compliant” to 2.0 to 2.5 bar. |
| – |
Set atomizing pressure (see manufacturer's information):
“HVLP” 0.7 bar. |
|
|
|
| – |
An application includes: applying a thin spray application
and then a normal spray application. For color shades with
special effects, we recommend a “finishing application”. |
Note
| For less opaque colors, it may be necessary to apply
additional spray applications after the corresponding
ventilation time. |
| The layer thickness (including base surface color shade
solid water-based base paint) should not exceed 45 µm. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
| The ventilation time for clear coat application is at +20 °C
(68 °F) room temperature for 20 minutes. |
| For smaller surfaces, the following make it possible to
reduce the ventilation time: |
| The painted surfaces can be applied more quickly by blowing
them with blower nozzles (hand blowers or with stationary
devices). |
| Blowing with a spray gun is also possible after waiting at
least five minutes. |
| For larger surfaces, the following make it possible to
reduce the ventilation time: |
| The painted surfaces can be applied more quickly by using
stationary blowing devices (such as ceiling systems), infrared
radiators or oven drying. |
| Ceiling system 10 to 15 minutes |
| Cooling time a minimum of 5 minutes |
|
|
|
| Heated drying at +60 °C (140 °F) |
| Combination booth at least 10 minutes including heating time |
| Drying-oven at least 5 minutes. |
| Cooling time a minimum of 5 minutes |
Note
| The evaporating and drying times specified here depend on
the temperature, humidity, air sink speed in the spray booth and
the number of spray applications. However, you must wait for
painted surface to be applied completely. |
|
|
|
| Can be painted over with: |
| Two-part HS clear coat from the Volkswagen original paint
product line |
Note
| The decision to use two or three coats (with a special base
surface color shade), depends on the factory paint. |
| Each base surface color tone is indicated in the formula
information system. |
| Touch-up system (for attaining an optically perfect color
shade transition to the adjacent parts) |
| – |
Sand the filled areas (dry with P400-500 or with water-proof
P800-1000 paper). |
| – |
Thoroughly sand the adjacent surfaces with a fine sanding
pad. |
| – |
Clean the entire surface thoroughly with Silicone Remover -LVM
020 000 A5- to remove dust, sanding residue and other dirt. |
| – |
Wipe off any residual silicone remover with a lint-free
cloth, leaving no streaks. |
| – |
Allow wet-sanded surfaces and cleaned surfaces to dry
completely. |
| Two-coat pearl effect/heliochrome color shades: |
| – |
Thoroughly cover the filled areas with pearlescent/heliochrome
water-based paint which has been prepared for spraying. |
| – |
Expand the scope of each subsequent spray application. This
overlapping results in only one misted zone. |
| – |
Expand the run-off area and touch-up with reduced pressure. |
| – |
After an appropriate final ventilation time, paint over with
two-part HS clear coat. |
| Three-coat pearlescent color shades: |
| – |
Thoroughly cover the filled areas with solid water-based
paint (see using base surface color shade) and touch-up with
reduced pressure (keep track of the drying time). |
| – |
Using pearlescent water-based paint which has been prepared
for spraying, spray the same area again (with reduced pressure)
and match it with the original. |
| – |
Blow dry with the pistol after each spray application. |
| 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. |
