Polyester fillers of «ïÂÏÔÓÔÓÎ-è» or èù-0085 type offer a
reliable adhesion with the panels stripped to the bare metal. They
consists of two components: unsaturated polyester resin and a
hardener serving as a fast curing catalyst. The ambient tempera-
ture in the workshop should not be below 18°ë. The mixture of
polyester filler must be used within ten minutes since it usually
takes sixty minutes for the filler to harden well through. The thick-
ness of the filler layer should be a maximum of 2 mm.
Thermosetting plastic is produced as a powder. Its elastic
properties, required for application on a metal panel, develop at
150-160°ë. The surface to be treated must be thoroughly cleaned
of rust, scale, loose paint and other impurities. Thermoplastic
adheres better to rough metal surfaces. Before applying thermo-
plastic, heat up the affected area to 170-180°ë and apply a first
layer of powder which is to be smoothed down by a metal roller.
Then apply a second layer and further ones until all surface imper-
fections are fully covered. Each layer is rolled down to achieve a
monolithic layer of plastic mass. Use your usual treating methods
when the layer is hardened well through.
Use solders of èéëëÛ 18-2 type or èéëëÛ 25-2 type to
straighten the areas which were earlier filled with solder, to build-
up edges and to eliminate undesirable gaps.
Severely damaged panels are replaced with new ones using
electric inert gas welding.
Front wing - removal and refitting
With minor damages (small dent, scratches, etc.), straighten
and paint the wing without removing it from the vehicle. Inspect
the condition of inner anti-corrosion coating, restore it when nec-
essary.
Always renew the wing in case of major damages or splits.
Remove the bumper, bonnet and front door.
