501-36-65 Paint - General Information 501-36-65 DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION NOTE: Only mask the vehicle when it is dry. Moisture under the film can lead to matt paint in the drying process. Using masking film ‡ Clean the vehicle before masking it. ‡ Pull the film over the vehicle. Because of the static charge, the film lies on the vehicle like a second skin. ‡ Cut out the repair area using the film knife and then mask it. Other ways of masking a vehicle are: ‡ Masking using masking paper. ‡ Painting cloth (mostly used during filling work). Profiled seals If it is not possible to remove a profiled seal, then it must be masked in such a way that no edges can form due to paint accumulation. To do this, the seal is lifted slightly and masked. The following techniques are possible: TO BE UPDATED LATER Item Description 1 Masking tape with plastic strips 2 Sealing lip 3 Sandpaper with masking tape ‡ Laying a string or cord under the seal. Suitable for soft and elastic seal lips. ‡ Special masking tape with plastic strips for hard seal lips. ‡ Instead of using plastic strips, fine sandpaper cut into strips can be inserted and secured using normal masking tape. ‡ If the seal can be easily displaced, normal masking tape can also be used. Edges/openings Smooth paint transitions can be produced by positioning adhesive tapes. NOTE: Pull the adhesive tapes away immediately after the paint has been applied and check the paint transitions. TO BE UPDATED LATER Item Description 1 Vehicle edge 2 Adhesive surface 3 Masking paper Possible variations ‡ At edges apply one strip of masking tape half on the area not to be painted and mask using a second strip. ‡ On surfaces, two masking strips can be attached, each affixed by half their adhesive surface. The adhesive strip which arises is then applied with one half on the edge of the area to be painted. The other half is aligned and fixed in addition in the curves. ‡ Affix masking paper on one side over the area to be painted. Double back the masking paper and secure it. ‡ Affix round profiled foam at the edge of the area to be painted using masking tape. Foam strips are suitable for affixing to openings such as door gaps.
