-
pack polyurethone, which
is
o synthetic resin
requiring the addition of a catalyst or activator.

ins are not easily
achieved. Therefore, only complete

nearest panel edge or styling line.

is
carried out and fillers are used, it
is
important that the filler
is
primed using thin single coats of matching

15
minutes
flash off between
coats and
3
hours before applying top coats. Non visual areas, such
as rebates etc., can be painted with
a
matching air drying nitrocellulose paint eg.
ICl~Belco P030 line. To achieve the best results follow the procedure below.
