PAINT - EXTERIOR COLOR PEELING CAUSED BY ULTRA VIOLET LIGHT

NOTE:
THE E-COAT MUST BE COMPLETELY REMOVED BEFORE REFINISHING.
WARRANTY OF REFINISH REPAIR

USE ONLY ONE PAINT MANUFACTURER'S SYSTEM. DO NOT MIX OR MATCH PAINT PRODUCTS. PAINT MANUFACTURER'S WARRANTY WILL BE VOID IF SYSTEMS ARE COMBINED. DO NOT USE ANY GENERIC PRODUCTS.
The aftermarket paint manufacturers are providing a warranty on the paint materials used in the repair of the paint peeling concern. Each company has its own specific warranty time period, and requires that the repair be completed as written in this Technical Service Bulletin article. Any deviation or non-compliance with these procedures could void the paint manufacturer's material warranty.
OUTSIDE LABOR (OSL) REPAIRS
