CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or com- pounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish can result. Do not use harsh alkaline based cleaning solvents on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or color can result.

PAINT TOUCH-UP DESCRIPTION

When a painted metal surface has been scratched or chipped, it should be touched-up as soon as possi- ble to avoid corrosion. For best results, use MOPARt Scratch Filler/Primer, Touch-Up Paints and Clear Top Coat. (Refer to VEHICLE DATA/VEHICLE INFOR- MATION/BODY CODE PLATE - DESCRIPTION) for Body Code Plate information.

WARNING: USE AN OSHA APPROVED RESPIRATOR AND SAFETY GLASSES WHEN SPRAYING PAINT OR SOLVENTS IN A CONFINED AREA. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

STANDARD PROCEDURE - PAINT TOUCH-UP

(1) Scrape loose paint and corrosion from inside

scratch or chip.

(2) Clean affected area with MOPARt Tar/Road

Oil Remover or equivalent, and allow to dry.

(3) Fill the inside of the scratch or chip with a coat of filler/primer. Do not overlap primer onto good sur- face finish. The applicator brush should be wet enough to puddle-fill the scratch or chip without run- ning. Do not stroke brush applicator on body surface. Allow the filler/primer to dry hard.

(4) Cover the filler/primer with color touch-up paint. Do not overlap touch-up color onto the original color coat around the scratch or chip. Butt the new

color to the original color, if possible. Do not stroke applicator brush on body surface. Allow touch-up paint to dry hard.

(5) On vehicles without clearcoat, the touch-up color can be lightly finesse sanded (1500 grit) and polished with rubbing compound.

(6) On vehicles with clearcoat, apply clear top coat to touch-up paint with the same technique as described in Step 4. Allow clear top coat to dry hard. If desired, Step 5 can be performed on clear top coat.

WARNING: AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH PETROLEUM OR ALCOHOL – BASED CLEAN- ING SOLVENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT. AVOID PROLONGED SKIN CONTACT WITH PETRO- LEUM OR ALCOHOL – BASED CLEANING SOL- VENTS. PERSONAL INJURY CAN RESULT.

FINESSE SANDING/BUFFING & POLISHING DESCRIPTION

CAUTION: Do not remove more than .5 mils of clearcoat finish, if equipped. Basecoat paint must retain clearcoat for durability. Use a Paint Thickness Gauge #PR-ETG-2X or equiv- alent to determine film thickness before and after the repair.

Minor acid etching, orange peel, or smudging in clearcoat or single-stage finishes can be reduced with light finesse sanding, hand buffing, and polishing. If the finish has been finesse sanded in the past, it cannot be repeated. Finesse sanding opera- tion should be performed by a trained automo- tive paint technician.

BACKLITE REMOVAL

It is difficult to salvage the backlite during the removal operation. The backlite is part of the struc- tural support for the roof. The urethane bonding used to secure the glass to the fence is difficult to cut or clean from any surface. Since the molding is set in urethane, it is unlikely it would be salvaged. Before removing the backlite, check the availability from the parts supplier.

The backlite is attached to the window frame with urethane adhesive. The urethane adhesive is applied cold and seals the surface area between the window opening and the glass. The primer adheres the ure- thane adhesive to the backlite.

RIOR/HEADLINER - REMOVAL).
