General Instructions On Paintwork

General instructions and classification of paint stages are described on the KSD CD (under Notes, General information on flat rate unit data, Passenger car explanation for FRU specifications for paintwork).

The marked area shows the basis of area calculation for creating the flat rate unit unit. The marked area does not show the area actually to be painted. If touching up is required, the painter defines the precise position as he sees fit.

Special procedure for matte paintwork:

Matte paintwork cannot be touched up since the painted surface cannot be polished.
