5. Wipe the area clean using Duponts 3900S.
6. Blow and tack the area to be painted.
7. Apply a smooth coat of Duponts 1854S Tuffcoat Primer to all bare metal areas and allow
to dry.
8. Apply 2 medium - wet coats of Duponts 222S Adhesion Promoter over the entire area to
be painted, with a 5 minute flash in between coats.
9. To apply the texture coat, use Duponts 1854S Tuffcoat Primer. The proper technique to
do this is to spray the Tuffcoat Primer using a pressure pot and use about 2-5 pounds of
air pressure. This will allow the primer to splatter causing the textured look.
NOTE: You must be careful not to put too much primer on at one time, this will effect the
amount of texture that you are trying to achieve. Allow the texture coat to flash for 20 minutes
or until dry to touch.
10. Apply any of Duponts Topcoat Finishes such as Imron™ or Centari™ according to the
label instructions.
NOTE: To re-topcoat the textured surfaces when sheet metal repairs are not necessary, follow
steps 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 10.
FIELD REPLACEMENT OF CANOPY DECALS
1. The decal area should be wiped with 70% isopropyl alcohol and a lint free cloth,
in a well ventilated area.
2. Allow sufficient time for drying, but not enough time for dust to resettle on
surface.
3. Align decals prior to removing the backing.
4. Peel (1) section of backing from decal, while still aligned, and squeegee decal
from center of the edges, to remove air.
5. Remove the remaining backing and repeat squeegee process.
6. Repeat squeegee process over entire decal surface to assure a tight bond,
allow 24 hours for permanent bond.
7. Any air bubbles may be removed by pricking the bubble center with a pin and
squeegee air toward the hole.
