• Do not drive on gravel roads. Paint finish
easily chips during the first 30 days;
• Do not scrape ice or snow from the surface.
A snow scraper can act like a paint scraper if
the finish is new. Brush off loose material
with a soft snow brush.
During the first 90 days:
• Do not wax or polish the vehicle. This will
allow the finish to dry and harden
completely.
9.2 PAINT TOUCHUP
When paint touchup or partial repainting is
necessary, refer to the vehicle’s paint scheme
for color codes and paint brand.
Prevost recommends using the original paint
brand to ease color matching.
In the event you sand through to the gelcoat
surface you should prime the area with Standox
“Non Stop Fill Primer (ST-11000)”.
If you sand through to metal surface, first prime
with Standox “Etch Primer (ST-11858)” then with
Standox “Non Stop Fill Primer (ST-11000)”.
CAUTION
Be sure to heed all paint manufacturer’s
recommendations, especially concerning paint
dilution and application.
9.3 PAINTING
The standard paint used on the exterior of the
vehicle is Standox Basislack. It is a high gloss
polyurethane enamel finish designed for
exposure to extreme conditions. Other types of
paint may be called for as options by owner but
are not dealt with in this section.
