COLLISION REPAIR INFORMATION
FOR THE COLLISION REPAIR PROFESSIONAL
TITLE: TOPCOAT SAND & POLISH
SECTION: REFINISH BULLETIN #173
MODELS: ALL TOYOTA, LEXUS, AND SCION
DATE: APRIL 2009
Customers have high expectations for automotive paint finish appearance and expect repairs to match factory color, gloss, and texture. Flawed refinish appearance is a cause of concern and will likely have a negative affect on customer satisfaction and retention.
Toyota recognizes the reality of paint finish application in the shop environment. In addition to color matching and blending, countermeasures to remove paint process intrusion (dirt nibs) are necessary to achieve an undetectable finish match. This is also common in manufacturing plants when process intrusion is encountered. Countermeasures are defined as; ultra-fine sanding to level nibs followed by polishing to a level of gloss and texture consistent with the original finish. Technicians undertaking these tasks should review applicable technical data sheets for product process and handling instructions, as well as applicable safety information.
