Engine Cars

Some times a year (preferably every six months) need to check the paint coating machine and its restoration. Minor injuries are not striking, but if they are not removed, they grow and are much lower viability car. Small dents can be corrected on your own - easily beating inside a soft mallet. If the dent is not available internally, we can use a strong magnet. To remedy must be imposed on the magnet surface close to the dent and slowly led a magnet over the surface of the damaged items until the magnet does not pull the metal in place. After straightening is necessary to identify sites that require restoration of coverage - scratches, abrasions, chipped. Repair is best done in warm, dry weather or in a heated room. Be sure to provide ventilation, because most of the materials used to repair covers, highlights harmful substances. The first operation - cleaning the damaged area. For her, use a fine sandpaper. You can work manually or with an electric drill. Trimmed necessarily the entire depth of the damage gradually venturing from the intact portion to be defective. Check the quality of cleaning is simple - to hand over details, and the boundary between patches should not be felt. After this necessarily wash the exposed area (mineral spirits or a similar composition) and dried. The next operation - a primer. If the coating was not damaged to the metal, but only the surface layer and in the sweep was not filmed primer, then this step can be skipped. Priming will strictly according to instructions, which should be attached to it (usually written on a bank with a primer). If the seller does not give the manufacturer's instructions, you do not need to buy a coat - there is a risk of spoiling the car. The following operations are possible only after the complete drying primer. Operation Filling - junk. It is necessary only if you can not correct the detail mechanical methods. Immediately to determine the choice of the enamel, which will be drawn in the damaged area. Putty should be on the same basis as the enamel (for example, if applied nitroemal, then use the putty SC-007 or from the same series). Apply the filler should be kept to a minimum, if necessary - in several layers. Each layer to dry well. Abraded, rinsed (unless there are specific indications to the filling, then rinse with water). Topcoat must be done only on a clean, well-dried surface. On the types of surface enamel is applied by spraying (spray gun you can buy or make your own - a small device attached at the tubing to the pump). Get a good quality of coating by brush impossible. Necessarily apply a thin layer, put a few more layers than one thick one. This way you can avoid the rolls and streaks. If they do get formed, after the complete drying have their medium grinded, washed, dried and apply another layer of enamel. To obtain a glossy surface, experts recommend the last layer of spray solvent № 648. Covered with enamel surface must be completely dry (not just from sticking, and on the depth, if used, for example, nitroemal - will have to wait for hours). The final operation - processing repaired surface sanding and then polishing paste, rinse.
