Volkswagen Touran Service Manual / General Paint Information / Original Products / General Application Instructions for Repair and Painting Systems / Aqua Premium System, Touch-Up System for Two Layer Colors

Product Description/Objective

To achieve an optically flawless color shade transition in the blended area or adjacent parts, for example fender/door.

Application Instructions

Base Surface

Suitable base surfaces:

Two-Part HS Filler

Intact old paint

For plastic surfaces prime with Glazing Adhesion Promoter - ALO 822 000 10- and rework with elastified Two-part HS.

Pre-treatment of base surfaces:

Clean the factory or old paint or two-part HS filler thoroughly with Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or Silicone Remover, Long -LVM 020 100 A5-.

Aqua Premium System, Touch-Up System for Two Layer Colors

Preparation

Sand the repair area with P500-P600 grit sandpaper or wet-sand with water-resistant P800-1000 sandpaper.

Aqua Premium System, Touch-Up System for Two Layer Colors

Sand the adjacent area (around the vehicle parts and the repair area) thoroughly with P1000-3000 sandpaper, only wet sand.

Note

If beading, edges or grip recesses are present, use a sanding pad beforehand.

Cleaning

Clean the entire surface thoroughly with Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- to remove dust, sanding residue and other dirt.

Wipe off any residual silicone remover with a lint-free cloth, leaving no streaks.

Allow wet-sanded surfaces and cleaned surfaces to dry completely.

When using a dust extraction, use next generation towels with an effective light adhesive formula to minimize the risk of chemical or adhesive residue (for example, Dust Cloth -VAS6177-). Refer to → Chapter "Dust Cloth -VAS6177-".

Special Instructions

Insulate sanded-through areas with Two-Part Wash Primer -LHV 043 000 A2- and then fill with Two-Part HS Performance Filler.

Method 1:

Repair process, touch-up the neighboring surfaces (for example color matching fender/door)

Apply 1-2 preliminary spray applications of the Touch-Up Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3--2- in the blended area with normal spray pressure on the old paint/filled surface -1-.

Note

Pay attention that the blended area is large enough.

Then the first base paint spray application -1- is lightly applied from the blended area into the wet touch-up additive -2-.

In the second step a further reduced spray application -2- follows without a drying time. Pay attention that the spray application is applied in the area previously shifted forward -1- to archive an even effect.

After the touch-up painting the connection area and the remaining surfaces (starting from the new part) -1- in 1.5 spray applications (standard process) are painted.

After ventilating, apply a two-part HS clear coat -1- over the entire repair surface.

Method 2:

Repair process, touch-up the neighboring surfaces (for example color matching fender/door, alternative method for solid and dark effect color shades).

Apply 1-2 preliminary spray applications of the Touch-Up Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3--2- in the blended area with normal spray pressure on the old paint/filled surface -1-.

Note

Pay attention that the blended area is large enough.

Then apply the first base paint spray application -3- from the blended area (starting from the new part) to the edge of the wet touch-up additive -2-. Immediately after that, apply the half effect/finish spray application onto the wet touch-up additive -2- and to the new part -1-, from a distance.

After touch-up painting the base paint application -1- takes place on the remaining surfaces in 1.5 spray applications (standard process).

After ventilating, apply a two-part HS clear coat -1- over the entire repair surface.

Note

Starting with the first spray application, it is recommended to even out the subsequent repair area spray applications starting from the touch-up area that is farthest out. For that reason, the subsequent spray applications should always be remain inside the previous spray application in order to archive an even effect.

While processing the Aqua premium water-based base paint, the spray gun material flow/trigger remains completely open.

The spraying pressure for the effect spray application can vary between 1.5 and 2.0 bar depending on the size of the object.

Method 3:

Repair process, touching-up minimal damage for example clever repair.

Note

The repair/filler area should be kept as small as possible.

Possibility 1

For most colors, use the adjusted water-based base paint.

Possibility 2

It is recommended for colors with a high percentage of metal to adjust the Aqua premium water-based base paint in a 1:1 ratio with Touch-Up Additive for Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3- + 10 % Flop Control -LWM 085 386 A2- (Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 200/301- is not required). Use the Aqua Premium dipstick for clever repair.

Depending on the color and covering capacity, apply 3-5 spray applications of this mixture with reduced pressure (0.8-1.5 bar) to the repair area/run-off area. Make sure that each spray application is performed a little bit further and allowed to ventilate and matt. The ventilation time can be accelerated by blowing.

After an appropriate final ventilation time, the clear coat can be applied.

Note

While processing the Aqua premium water-based base paint, the spray gun material flow/trigger remains completely open.

For efficient ventilating and drying, stationary blowing devices or forced drying (for example heated drying) are recommended.

Using the products

The spray devices should be suitable for use with water-soluble products; see manufacturer's information.

The Aqua Premium mixing paints can only be used within the color tone formulas.

When processing individual mixing paints on their own, major deviations from the information given in the application instructions are possible.

Cleaning the Tools

Rinse before and after using with Aquaplus Purified Water -LVW 010 000 A5-. Then rinse with Nitrocellulose Thinner -LVE 856 000 A3-.

Disposal

Collect liquid waste from water-soluble products and separate from liquid waste from conventional products. When mixing materials, disposal may no longer be possible, which is difficult and costly.

Personal Protective Equipment:

Note the safety data sheets

Wear the personal protective equipment during application
