Eliminate minor damage in the following order.
Remove the old paintwork from the damaged area and prepare the surface as described above for painting.
Cover the surface cleaned to the metal with a grid of scratches, which will ensure maximum adhesion of the putty and the surface to be treated.
Depending on the maximum depth of damage, prepare:
- polyester putty brand PE-0089, if the damage depth does not exceed 2.5 mm. Before use, mix the mass with a hardener (100:2,0) and apply with a spatula on a surface cleaned to a metallic sheen and degreased;
- epoxy adhesive based on resin type ED-20, if the damage depth does not exceed 4 mm;
- EP-0020 brand epoxy putty, if the damage depth does not exceed 7 mm. Before use, mix the mass with a hardener (100:8,5) and apply with a spatula to a metallically polished and degreased surface.
Apply several thin layers of putty until the surface is close to the original shape, with a slight protrusion above it.
Let the putty harden to the point where it is pressed through with a fingernail.
Proceed with surface preparation for refinishing as described above.
The highest quality of repair work is achieved when using polyester fillers.
