Notice: Use supplies, primers, basecoats and clearcoats from the same manufacturer. Do not intermix paint systems or paint damage may occur.

In order to refinish the repaired or the replacement flexible parts, follow the paint manufacturers system regarding the following procedures:

    • The preparation
    • The priming
    • The refinishing

Because these parts are flexible, the parts may require special additives in the primers and the topcoat in order to prevent cracking and poor adhesion. Always use the manufacturers recommended materials.

In order to identify the type of paint to use when refinishing the interior panels, refer to the Service Parts Identification Label in General Information. This label contains the following information necessary to identify the correct paint:

    • The paint codes
    • The trim level
    • Any special order paint color codes
