Volkswagen Tiguan Service and Repair Manual: 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-.
Preparation
- Sand the repair area with P500-P600 grit sandpaper or wet-sand with
water-resistant P800-1000 sandpaper.
- 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-).
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
