Volkswagen Tiguan Service and Repair Manual: Paint System for Plastic Parts
This universal painting system enables you to safely and simply paint all
plastic parts which can be usually found on the exterior. (Plastic types: PP,
EPDM, ABS, PC, PPO, PBTP, UP-GF, PA, PVC, R-TPU, PUR) This technical reference
material does not apply to factory primed plastic parts.
Base Surface
Pretreatment of base surfaces:
- The base surface must be free of separating agents. Before cleaning the
plastic parts, temper them for 60 minutes at +60 ºC to sweat out the
separating agents.
- Clean with the Antistatic Plastic Cleaner -LKR 001 001 A3- or a milder
Silicone Remover, Long -LSE 20 100 A3-.
The effort needed for cleaning depends on the type and quantity of the
separating agent used. It is recommend to use a sanding pad to support the
cleaning process. Let the thinner evaporate (for example, air-drying overnight
at room temperature or 30-40 minutes at +60 ºC).
- Before priming, lightly clean again using Antistatic Plastic Cleaner -LKR
001 001 A3- or Silicone Remover, Long -LSE 20 100 A3-.
The Paint Structure is not for Primed Plastic Parts.
Primer:
To attain secure adhesion, plastics must be primed after they have been
thoroughly cleaned. Here the user has two choices:
- Prime with Two-Part Synthetic Adhesion Filler, White - LKF 696 009- or
Two-Part Synthetic Adhesion Filler, Black - LKF 696 040-. The Two-Part
Synthetic Adhesion Filler, White -LKF 696 009- and the Two-Part Synthetic
Adhesion Filler, Black -LKF 696 040- are primer/fillers which can be
directly painted over with top coat.
- Prime with Glazing Adhesion Promoter - ALO 822 000 10- and rework with
elastified Two-part HS filler. Further processing with top coat and clear
coat.
Notes for Damages:
- Small scratches can be filled after priming with Two-Part Fine Filling
Paste -LSP 784 002 A2-.
- After sanding the filled patches insulate them:
- With Two-Part Synthetic Adhesion Filler, White - LKF 696 009- or
Two-Part Synthetic Adhesion Filler, Black - LKF 696 040-.
- Prime with Glazing Adhesion Promoter - ALO 822 000 10- and rework with
elastified Two-part HS. Further processing with top coat and clear coat.
For the application instructions, evaporating and drying times refer to the
respective technical application information.
The Addition of Two-Part Elastic Additive -ALZ 011 001- in Two-part HS
Filler.
- 15 % for rigid and semi-rigid plastics
- 30 % for highly flexible plastics.
For the application refer to the technical application information of the
respective filler.
Note
Painted plastic parts may not be cleaned with a high-pressure cleaner before
6 weeks have passed. The minimum distance between the nozzle and the object is
30 cm.
One-Coat Painting
Top Coat:
- Mix two-part HS top coat with 15 % Two-Part Elastic Additive -ALZ 011
001- then combine this mixture.

Processing:
- Let air dry overnight at +20 ºC (68ºF)or after 5 to 10 minute final
drying time, 30 to 40 minutes at +60 ºC (140ºF). When using Two-Part Elastic
Additive -ALZ 011 001- use longer drying times.
Two-Coat Painting Solid, Metallic, Pearls
Base Paint:
- Water-based base paint with 10 % Purified Water -LVW 010 000 A5-.
Processing:
Clear Coats:
- Mix the two-part HS clear coat with Two-Part Elastic Additive -ALZ 011
