Volkswagen Polo Service & Repair Manual: Aqua Premium System, Touch-Up System for Three Layer Colors
| Product Description/Objective |
| To achieve an optically flawless color shade transition in
the blended area or adjacent parts, for example fender/door. |
| For plastic surfaces prime with Glazing Adhesion Promoter -ALO
822 000 10- and rework with elastified Two-part HS filler
(Two-Part Plastic Adhesive Filler -LKF 696 009 A2-/-LKF 696 040
A2-). |
|
|
|
| Pre-treatment of base surfaces: |
| – |
Clean the factory or old paint or two-part HS filler
thoroughly with Silicone Remover -LVM 020 000 A5- or Silicone
Remover, Long -LVM 020 100 A5-. |
|
|
|
| – |
Sand the repair area with P500-P600 grit sandpaper or
wet-sand with water-resistant P800-1000 sandpaper. |
|
|
|
| – |
Sand the adjacent area (around the vehicle parts and the
repair area) thoroughly with P1000-3000 sandpaper, only wet
sand. |
 Note
| If beading, edges or grip recesses are present, use a
sanding pad beforehand. |
|
|
|
| – |
Clean the entire surface thoroughly with Silicone Remover -LVM
020 000 A5- to remove dust, sanding residue and other dirt. |
| – |
Wipe off any residual silicone remover with a lint-free
cloth, leaving no streaks. |
|
|
|
| – |
Allow wet-sanded surfaces and cleaned surfaces to dry
completely. |
| When using a dust extraction, use next generation towels
with an effective light adhesive formula to minimize the risk of
chemical or adhesive residue (for example, Dust Cloth
-VAS6177-). Refer to
→ Chapter „Dust Cloth -VAS6177-“. |
| Insulate sanded-through areas with Two-Part Wash Primer -LHV
043 000 A2- and then fill with Two-Part HS Performance Filler. |
| Test spraying on sheet metal is strongly recommended. |

| Solid colors, 90 to 120 minutes at +20 °C (68°F) |
|
|
|
| The ventilation time should take place assisted with blowing
devices at 20-40 °C (68°-104°F) until the surface becomes
completely matted. |
| Allow 5 to 10 minutes of intermediate drying time then 10 to
15 minute final drying time at 60° to 65 °C (140° to 149°F). Let
the base color shade cool off before applying the effect. |
| Ventilate until the surface becomes completely matted,
without blowing. |

|
|
|
| Step 1, Painting the Effect Color (from the Outside Inward) |
| – |
Apply the effect color from run-out area to the to the new
part -1-. This means it is applied
from the outside toward the inside (»wet-in-wet«)
in the Touch-Up Additive For Aqua Premium -LVM 035 100 A3-. |
| – |
Then if necessary apply the next effect color layer in the
direction of the new part. |

|
|
|
| Step 2, Painting the Effect Color (from the Outside Inward) |
|
|
|
| Step 3, Painting the Effect Color (from the Outside Inward) |
|
|
|
| – |
After ventilating, apply a two-part HS clear coat
-1- over the entire repair surface. |
Note
| Starting with the first spray application, it is recommended
to even out the subsequent repair area/base color spray
applications starting from the touch-up area that is farthest
out. For that reason, the subsequent spray applications should
always be remain inside the previous spray application, in order
to avoid visible contours/shadows. |
| While processing the Aqua premium water-based base paint,
the material flow (spray gun trigger) remains completely open. |
| The spraying pressure for the effect spray application can
vary between 1.5 and 2.0 bar depending on the size of the
object. |
| For additional notes to the drying times refer to the
technical application information. |
| Notes for Large Area Applications: |
| Use the Additive for Aqua Premium -LVM 035 301 A3- when
applying 3 coat effect colors. |
| The addition of up to 10 % Aquaplus Purified Water -LVW 010
000 A5- is recommended for large surfaces, high temperatures and
low humidity. |
| For efficient ventilating and drying, stationary blowing
devices or forced drying (for example heated drying) are
recommended. |
| The spray devices should be suitable for use with
water-soluble products; see manufacturer's information. |
| The Aqua Premium mixing paints can only be used within the
color tone formulas. |
| When processing individual mixing paints on their own, major
deviations from the information given in the application
instructions are possible. |
| Rinse before and after using with Aquaplus Purified Water -LVW
010 000 A5-. Then rinse with Nitrocellulose Thinner -LVE 856 000
A3-. |
| Collect liquid waste from water-soluble products and
separate from liquid waste from conventional products. When
mixing materials, disposal may no longer be possible, which is
difficult and costly. |
