Paint: Service and Repair

General Information
Before undertaking any paintwork process on the exterior body of Range Rover, firstly ascertain which is the best method of repair either by panel repair or replacement.

The initial preparation of a panel is very important to ensure that when finished it is of a standard that meets and matches existing bodywork. Panels must be thoroughly degreased with Berger Preclean 802.0516 or a suitable equivalent, any unsound paint to be stripped using Berger Double strength Meltic 301.8051. Always refer to the paint manufacturers instructions.

Paintwork processes should be performed by a specialist bodyshop where paint spraying can be undertaken in a controlled environment whereby temperatures are kept constant and the atmosphere dust free.





The flow chart gives a guide to preparing and painting a panel. Wherever possible refer to the Berger Vehicle Refinishes Product Data and Application Sheets for further information.
