Standard Panel Repair System (MS)

Step-by-step application

1. 01

   Cleaning and Preparation

   ZN-530Surface Cleaning Thinner

   Use the thinner to remove grease, silicone and dirt residues from the repair area and its surroundings. Sand the damaged area back to bare metal with P80, feather the paint edges with P120–P150 and clean the surface again.

2. 02

   Filling

   ZN-110Universal Polyester Filler

   Mix the filler with 2–3% by weight of the hardener supplied in the pack and apply it in thin layers, pressing it firmly into place; on small damage, 3-in-1 Filler can also be used. Once dry, shape the filler with P80–P120 and finish it with P180–P240 before priming.

   Alternative: ZN-150 3-in-1 Filler

3. 03

   Primer

   ZN-2104+1 Acrylic Primer Filler

   Mix the primer 4:1 by volume with 2K Acrylic Primer Hardener (ZN-410), reduce it to spraying viscosity with Acrylic Thinner (ZN-510) and apply 2–3 coats, allowing 5–10 min flash-off between coats. Once fully dry, sand with P400–P500 using a guide coat.

4. 04

   Basecoat

   Wipe the sanded surface with a tack cloth and apply the colour-matched basecoat in the number of coats recommended by its manufacturer until opacity is achieved. Make sure the basecoat has flashed off to a fully matt finish before moving on to the clear coat.

5. 05

   Clear Coat

   ZN-3202K Acrylic MS Clear Coat

   Mix the clear coat with 2K MS Hardener (ZN-430), thin it with Acrylic Thinner (ZN-510) and apply 2 coats, allowing 5–10 min flash-off between coats. Bake for approximately 30 min at 60 °C (object temperature) or, when air drying at ambient temperature, allow the time stated in the Technical Data Sheet (TDS).
