4. Surface Treatment
Surface treatment shall be strict, careful and all-around. Though this car is not a deluxe sedan, it nearly has no
difference with the deluxe sedan in the surface treatment.
a. Phosphoric acid processing
Phosphoric acid processing is also called pretreatment before painting. After removing the grease on the body
by washing, apply zinc phosphate onto the body, with a thickness under 3
but also can help to increase adhesion in the next coating process.
b. Cathode electrophoresis
In the practical application, the electrophoresis painting shows many advantages, such as high efficiency, good
quality, safety and cost effectiveness. It is accompanied with four electrochemical phenomena including
electroanalysis, electrophoresis, electrodeposition and electroosmosis. The cathode electrophoresis is much better
than the anode electrophoresis both in the features and advantages. Incomparably, the process is strict extremely.
c. Intermediate coat
The intermediate coat is also called intermediate layer, which is located between the primer and the surface
paint. Its function is to improve the evenness of the painted work piece and the primer and provide the surface paint
with a good base to improve the paint's brightness and richness and improve the decoration of the entire coat.
d. Surface paint
The surface paint is the last coat in the multiple coats, which directly affect the vehicle's decoration,
weatherability and appearance etc. Great attention shall be made when selecting the surface paint, including its
adaptability, cost-effectiveness and usability. All performance indexes shall meet the national standard and
industrial standard. The paint shall be even and smooth.
e. Protective coat
For those vehicles parked outside for a long time (more than three months) or used for shipping, water-soluble
protective wax shall be applied on the outside surface of the body. This agent contains ultraviolet absorbent. Before
selling the vehicle, wash it with soap detergent and flush it with clean water, to make the paint brighter.7-34Fig. 5-38 (j) Painting Position of Impact-proof CoatPVC Impact-proof Coat Body Repair -Features and Composition of Automobile Body m. It not only can protect the work piece,

7-35Section 5 Painting Techniques After Body RepairIn the practical use, various factors may cause painting damage, such as traffic accident, component rust,
premature damage due to bubble, and local color change etc. It is necessary to make repair locally as the following
steps:I. Base Processing (Pretreatment)1. Remove the paint, and remove the coating on the plate work.
2. Cut the edges and corners, and polish the metal plate without paint and the uneven paint at the edge.
3. Blow and clean the dust and dirt, and remove the grease with degreasant.II. Primer Processing1. Apply the self-drying primer on the bare metal surface.
2. Leave the primer drying naturally, or dry it with the infrared radiator.
3. Apply the self-drying oily putty or polyester putty on the plate work surface.
4. Leave the putty drying naturally or artificially.
5. Polish the putty manually to remove the uneven parts.
6. Polish it manually in water to clear the sandpaper lines.
7. Wash the dirt, polish the oil dirt and putty slurry.
8. Wipe the oil dirt on the polishing surface.
9. Cover the part not to be repaired with protective shield or paper.III. Painting Intermediate Coat1. Paint the second primer.
2. Leave the primer drying naturally or dry it.
3. Find out the sand hole or sandpaper line.
4. Polish it manually in wet condition.
5. Wash the part clean, and leave it drying naturally. (The number of putty applying and polishing depends on the
evenness of the surface to be repaired.)IV. Preparing to Paint Surface Paint1. Paste paper on the surface not to be painted.
2. Remove the dust and grease on the local surface paint.
3. Mix the color the same with that of the vehicle's surface paint.
4. Prepare the paint.V. Painting Surface Paint1. Paint the part with fast-drying surface paint 3-4 times and synthetic resin paint 2-3 times.
2. Leave it drying naturally or dry it.VI. Polishing1. After painting, burnish the part with wax to clear the shadow and improve the effect.
2. After painting, tear off the paper and wipe the ground paint.
3. Check the appearance and quality.Body Repair -Painting Techniques After Body Repair
