Paint
Two-pack solid color paint can be applied. Following application of paint by hand brus h or suitable air brush, allow the paint
to dry fully before peeling away the remain ing strips of Striping Tape. The paint takes in excess of 12 hours to air dry and
fully harden, curing can however be accelerated by careful application of heat from infra-red lamps..
• NOTE: Masking tape must only be removed when the paint has hardened.
For the repair of minor damage (cuts, et c.), Paint Touch-up Pens in the colours required, are available via Jaguar Parts
Operations.

GLAZING
In order that the design condition of the vehicle is preserved when direct glazing repairs are carried out, it is essential that
only approved materials an d processes are employed.
Glass and Body Preparation
Betaseal HV3 System methods an d materials, are used on all Jaguar vehicles . Ease of working and extended process time
can however be gained by ensuring that the vehicle body and replacement glass are at a minimum room temperature of 20°
C prior to adhesive a pplication and fitting.
In the event of damage to the body flange finish, rectify as appropriate with the full paint refinishing process as described in
the Paint Refinishing Manual.
Adhesive Application Temperature
The specified adhesive has a high viscosity and is not easily applied at 'room te mperature' using conventional methods.
When the adhesive is applied it chills ra pidly on contact with the body and reverts to the hard condition, providing retention
strength with in minutes.
Raising the temperature of the adhesive will reduce viscosity an d speed up the flow. It is recommended that the adhesive is
pre-warmed in a heated cabinet for a mini mum of twenty minutes and applied with an extrusion gun incorporating integral
heating elements.
Adhesive Application
CAUTION: The glass will not bond to the body if the time taken to apply the adhesive and position the glass, exceeds
the stated limit.
It is recommended that the be ad of adhesive conforms to the shape and dimensions shown in the Adhesive Application
