Processing of body sealant (paintable) before painting - AR97.10-P-0500-02CW
WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 2011 Mercedes-Benz C300, 2010 Mercedes-Benz C300, 2009 Mercedes-Benz C300, and 2008 Mercedes-Benz C300. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
- Carefully clean affected body parts.
- Apply sealant uniformly.
- Spread body sealant evenly.
- Maintain drying time for overpainting.
On body parts welded in carefully seal folds and openings with body sealant to prevent corrosion and leakage. The spot weld seams and the rivets must be sealed on both sides.
The brushes, wooden spatulas, etc. used to spread the body sealant should generally be cleaned only with pure benzine. If these objects are cleaned with paint thinner or other alcoholic liquids before applying the body sealant, the sealant does not cure and remains sticky.
