Classification and Elasticity degree
Plastic components are classified according to their type, composition, family. It is important to identify the family to which they belong (rigid, flexible or soft materials) in order to choose the suitable coating:
1) RIGID MATERIALS ( ex. compartment, bonnet )
The treatment of these substrates does not differ from that of other car body components.
2) FLEXIBLE ( ex. bumper, lateral bands )
Once being slightly sanded by using Scotch Brite fine sandpaper, they must be degreased
with water and neutral detergent and/or water degreaser. Then coat them with
Plast-O-Prim according to the modalities specified in the technical sheet and apply the finish chosen.
3) SOFT MATERIALS (ex. spoiler)
Once degreased with water and neutral detergent and/or water degreaser, then coat with the filler chosen and add 2K Elasticizer, in conformity with the relative technical sheets.
In case of accurate works, we recommend to wait at least 24 hours before applying the finish in order to make the products applied be absorbed and correct imperfection if any.
