The body parts have been factory primed with Transtar Hydroflex® Waterborne Primer. Hydroflex is a flexible, low V.O.C. Waterborne primer that provides excellent paint adhesion on this type of plastic. This primer can be very sensitive to solvents. The removal of this primer is costly, difficult and not very practical. Please follow the recommended refinishing instructions outlined below.
RECOMMENDED REFINISHING STEPS:
1. Wash the surface of the part with soap and water to remove any surface contaminants, rinse and dry thoroughly with a clean, soft, lint free cloth.
2. For best results, use gray sanding pad, such as 3M’s ScotchBrite, to scuff the entire surface of the part.
3. If sanding is necessary, dry sand with 360 or finer grit sandpaper. Upon sanding, if the film appears to be thing (less than one mil), we recommend that an additional application of Transtar Hydroflex® Waterborne Primer be applied to the part. Allow the primer to dry thoroughly prior to the application of the sealer, base coat and clear coat.
4. Re-clean the part, rinse and dry with clean, soft, lint free cloth.
5. Refer to the paint manufacturer instructions for proper application of sealer, color, and/or clear coats as instructed for the painting of flexible parts.
