Paint repairs on 1982-84 model Celebrity polycarbonate instrument panels should be performed using the following procedure:

1. Remove all loose paint from the affected and surrounding area using a soft wire brush. Either a hand brush or a brush attached to a drill motor may be used.

2. Clean the wire brushed area with a clean cloth saturated with isopropyl alcohol or naptha to remove any finger oil or other contamination.

#### CAUTION:

Do not substitute other solvents or paint thinner for this cleaning. Stronger solvents will attack and weaken the polycarbonate plastic.
