# PAINT INFORMATION (REVISED)

#### SUBJECT: PAINT INFORMATION

#### VEHICLES AFFECTED: 1992-93 "C, D, E, K, V" MODELS

THIS BULLETIN SUPERSEDES AND REPLACES CORPORATE BULLETIN REFERENCE NUMBER 111703R.** THIS BULLETIN IS BEING REVISED TO ADD A MODEL YEAR AND UPDATE NEW PAINT INFORMATION.

This bulletin is intended to provide a cross reference between factory paints and materials to the refinish products available in the field. It provides information about plastics identification and specific repairs required by some materials. It also provides a detailed list of the various suppliers' ordering codes for exterior, interior, vinyl roof mouldings, and paint stripe colors. Paint codes listed in the bulletin are, or soon will be, available from local paint suppliers.

General Motors of Canada encourages the use of refinish materials that match the paint technologies and suppliers in our plants. However, other suppliers produce service paint which could perform satisfactorily for field repairs. Your local paint supplier can provide additional information.

The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label is located on the inside of the rear compartment area. This label contains the paint codes needed to identify the paint materials for field repairs. Note this label identifies the paint code along with the WA# for that paint code. It is equally important to use this WA# along with the paint code to identify the correct repair materials. Care should be taken to transfer the SPID label or its information if the panel to which the label is affixed requires replacement. Replacement SPID labels are not available.

I. PLASTIC PARTS IDENTIFICATION ---------------------------- All 1993 Cadillacs have exterior parts made of various types of plastic materials that require specific procedures to obtain high quality refinishing results. Included in this bulletin is a chart listing the different types of plastic materials used on 1993 models. For best results, when painting is required, determine the type of plastic material from the chart. Then follow the correct paint procedure, depending upon what painting material and equipment is available.

Plastic Type Symbol ------------ ------ Thermoset Urethane RRIM (PU or PUR) Thermoplastic Urethane TPU Thermoset Polyester UP (SMC) Thermoset Urethane RIM (PU or PUR) Thermoplastic Elastomer TPE Thermoplastic Olefin TPO GTX 917 Nylon Xenoy PC, PBT Minion PA

II. SPECIFIC REPAIR PROCEDURES -------------------------- A. General Paint Procedure For Exterior Flexible Plastics

Polyvinylchloride (PVC); Polyurethane (PUR, TPUR, RRIM, RIM); Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE); EPDM Rubber (supplied in prime).

There are a multitude of finishing systems available on the market for painting and/or repairing flexible plastic parts. Following is a general outline of painting procedures, including a list of available products. Refer to the manufacturers literature available through your jobber for details on proper mixing and application.

1. Thoroughly clean part by washing with a suitable cleaning solvent to remove all surface contaminates.

#### Cleaning Solvents:

a. DuPont 3919S Prep-Sol/Plastic Cieaner 2319S (3929 Prep-Sol or 3949S Cleaner)

b. BASF Pre-Kleano 900

c. PPG Acryli-Clean DX330

d. Sikkens Anti-Static Degreaser

#### IMPORTANT: Previously painted parts that show signs of cracking, peeling, or improper adhesion must be stripped before repainting.

2. Scuff sand to an even dull appearance the entire surface to be painted with fine (400 grit or finer) sandpaper and feather edge any damaged areas and rewash.

3. Apply two thin coats of primer, when required, per top coat manufacturers recommendation and allow to completely dry before proceeding. (For most products, approximately 30 minutes.)

4. Prepare color coat according to the manufacturers recommendation and apply sufficient double coats to develop the proper shade. For best results, allow a few minutes dry time between each double Goat and allow to completely dry before using.

5. Following is a list of some of the products available for painting flexible plastic:

o PPG Flexible Primer - DPX844

o PPG Flexative - DX369 (Elastomeric Additive) or DC950 NCT

o DuPont 9250S Flex Additive

o BASF Diamont Flex Agent DF-25; Glassodur Elastifier Additive 521-111

o R-M 891 Flex

o Sikkens Plastoflex Primer

B. Nylon - Will be supplied in prime. Use the same procedure to refinish as on sheet metal parts

C. Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) - No prime required. Paint interior parts with acrylic lacquer.

D. Polyester Parts (UP, PBTP) - Will be supplied in prime and/or black paint. Use the same procedure to refinish or repair as on sheet metal parts.

E. Polypropylene - Interior parts.

1. Wash surface thoroughly with cleaning solvent.

2. Apply primer immediately and allow to dry completely before color coating.

3. Colour coat with lacquer or enamel reduced and applied according to the manufacturers recommendation.

4. Materials:

o Cleaners: - DuPont Prep-Sol 2319S

- DuPont 3939 Enamel Cleaner (3949 Metal Cleaner)

- DuPont 3812S Enamel Reducer

- PPG DX330 or DX103

- Sikkens Anti-Static Degreaser

o Primer: - DuPont 329S Polypropylene Primer

- GM 1052364

- PPG DPX800 (DPW 1844 Plastic Primer)

- Sikkens Primer PO

F. GTX 917 Fender

1. The front fenders used on 1993 DeVilles and Fleetwoods are made of a rigid plastic nylon material known as GTX 917.

2. Procedures and materials for GTX 917 plastic fender are the same as those used on rigid SMC or sheet metal parts and do not require flex agent additives.

G. Xenoy

1. Allante front and rear bumpers and DeVille lower accent mouldings are made of Xenoy materials. Xenoy parts will be supplied in colors. Use the same refinish procedures as on sheet metal parts for any required paint repairs.

H. Minion

1. Centre pillar hinge covers on the 1993 Seville are made of a rigid nylon material known as Minion.

2. Service parts will be supplied in prime, and refinish procedures should be the same as those used for sheet metal with no flex agents required.

III. BASE COAT REPLACEMENTS (BCR) ---------------------------- Base coat replacements, which are essentially color-keyed primers, are being utilized on 1993 DeVilles and Fleetwoods to improve the factory processing of the vehicles. Specific areas that will be painted with the BCR exposed include:

A. The Underside Of The Hood

B. The Motor Compartment

o Upper and lower radiator support

o Front of dash panel

o Shock towers

C. Back Side Of The Fuel Door

TABLE 5

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
