Health and Safety Information
1.1.
Health and Safety Information
Each execution of body work and painting in the foreground are the health and work safety. Before the start of the planned work is to ensure in advance that the provisions of the health and safety at work are known all people involved for the entire work process, in which these were trained in it and assigned at. The respective country‐specific regulations concerning health and safety must be observed. Additional safety instructions for the processing and handling of the products listed here, see the safety data sheet under the following link: http://landing.ppgrefinish.com/ Safety Tips while working
The following items are general safety tips to keep in mind as collision center repair personnel go about their work. These tips will help reduce the number of accidents that occur in the workplace and maintain good personal health: - Keep the work place clean and tidy and immediately clean up any spillage to prevent accidents. - Maintain good ventilation and protect all persons from the inhalation of dust, vapours and spray mists – not just the individual performing the operation. - Do not consume or store food and drink or smoke in the work place or storage areas. - Protect skin with a barrier cream and wash off paint splashes with soap and water or a specialised cleaner – do not use solvents or thinners. Wash hands thoroughly before eating or drinking. - Wear suitable eye protection to prevent eye damage from splashes. - Read material safety data sheets (MSDS) and labels and follow the instructions carefully. - Use the protective clothing, masks, goggles and other safety equipment as recommended. General Precautions
The following precautions should be observed at different stages of operations: Paint Mixing and Handling - The pouring and mixing of vehicle refinishing products should be carried out in a well ventilated area separate from the storage and application areas. - Used or partially used containers should be securely relidded and returned to the storage area as soon as possible after use. - Isocyanate, peroxide, or other activators should be incorporated with their base products strictly in accordance with the instructions given in the products Technical Data Sheet. Application - Spraying must be confined to spray booths or enclosures fitted with mechanical exhaust ventilation. - Spray booths and similar enclosures should be designed, installed and maintained to provide sufficient air flow velocity to prevent any vapours or spray mists escaping into the general atmosphere of the workroom or the operator’s breathing zone. Exhaust ventilation should be designed in such a way that vapours and spray mists are conducted away to a safe place in the open air without the possibility of re‐entry into any buildings. - Booths should be constructed of fire resisting materials and fitted with either replaceable dry filters or a water wash system to prevent the discharge of residues into the general atmosphere.

Health and Safety Information
- The mechanical exhaust ventilation systems should be kept running for a short period after spraying has stopped to ensure the complete removal of vapours and spray mists. Housekeeping - High standards of housekeeping are the basis of creating and maintaining a safe and healthy working environment. Strict attention to good housekeeping is therefore essential. - The accumulation of spray deposits on booths, and accumulation on fans should be prevented by regular cleaning and removal. - Sweeping or scrapings should be placed immediately in metal receptacles with suitable covers, and removed without delay to a safe place outside the buildings. - Storage and working areas should be kept tidy with gangways and exits clearly identified and unobstructed. Health Risks The main potential risks to health arising from vehicle refinishing products are: - Inhalation of solvent vapours which in excess may lead to dizziness, nausea, mental confusion and in extreme cases loss of consciousness. Irritation to the respiratory system and internal damage may also occur. - Inhalation of dusts and spray mists may also lead to irritation of the respiratory system. - Contact with skin may cause irritation and, with certain products, eye damage. - Accidental ingestion may cause irritation of the mouth, throat and digestive tract resulting in vomiting and abdominal pain. Significant absorption may cause drowsiness or loss of consciousness. Health Precautions Precautions to be observed to control and minimize these risks should include the following: - High standards of housekeeping. - High standards of personal hygiene, e.g. operators should wash their hands before eating, drinking, or using the toilet. - Operators should be protected against the inhalation of dusts, vapours and spray mists at all stages in the process by the provision of good standards of general ventilation, where necessary to keep atmospheric concentrations below dangerous levels. Local exhaust ventilation should be provided at all points where emissions to the workroom atmosphere may occur. - Splashes of paint on the skin should be removed promptly with soap and water. If necessary a specialised skin cleansing material should be used. Solvents and thinners should not be used for skin cleaning. - A suitable barrier cream may help to protect exposed areas of skin. - Where there is a risk of splashes in the eyes, suitable eye protection appropriate to the process must be worn. - Accidental ingestion should be avoided by the prohibition of eating, drinking, and smoking in all working areas. Food and drink should not be brought into, stored or prepared in work rooms and storage areas. PPG – Daimler AG Paint Manuals General Information Page 2 of 2 © PPG Industries Inc. [English]

1.2. Sanding and Cleaning
Pre‐Cleaning: Steel: Remove rust by sandblasting, wire brush or coarse sanding paper (P16 to P80) to achieve a bare substrate. For rust‐through areas tinning is recommended. In case of larger damaged areas it might be necessary to weld in a new sheet or to replace the whole part. Remove any remains like scale from welding, tinning or any parting compounds and fluxing agents thoroughly. To avoid contact corrosion do not sand bare steel and aluminium substrates at the same time with the same grinding machine and the same sandpaper. Aluminium alloys: These metals have the property of reacting with oxygen very quickly. There is the risk of fire and explosion caused by machining (sanding) of these components. Extremly high precautionary measures must be taken when processing aluminium. To avoid contact corrosion, do not sand bare steel and aluminium at the same time using the same sanding disc / paper. To avoid contact corrosion do not sand bare steel and aluminium substrates at the same time with the same grinding machine and the same sandpaper. Magnesium alloys: It is recommended not to sand any Magnesium alloys! Cleaning: Clean any old paint (OE finish) thoroughly with water first to remove any water soluble dirt. Clean with a suitable cleaner. Metal Substrates: 
D837 (DX330) Spirit Wipe: mild blend of solvents for removing light contamination 
D845 (DX310) High Strength Degreaser: is a strong blend of solvents, specifically designed to remove dirt, grease and other contaminants from bare metal as part of the preparation process 
D8401 Waterborne low VOC Cleaner: is a waterborne pre‐cleaner, suitable for use as an “in process” cleaner. Plastic Substrates: 
D846 (DX103) Antistatic Agent for Plastics: specially designed alcoholic blend of solvents formulated to treat plastic surfaces without damaging them and to prevent the build up of static, ensuring a dust free finish. 
D8434 Plastic Substrate Cleaner: detergent cleaner for removing all types of contaminants (e.g. mould release agents and traffic film) as a step in the preparatory process to ensure excellent adhesion of subsequent coatings. Dry Sanding: Basically all grinding work is dry grinding process! Do not wet sand!
Use the following paper grades depending on the substrate. Start with the coarsest grade and carry on down to the finest grade. Fleeces and pads are especially recommended for edges and borders. Use a guide coat for best results: 
Steel P120 ‐ P220, 3M Scotch‐Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine 
Galvanized Steel P320 ‐ P400, 3M Scotch‐Brite™ pad grey, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine 
Tinned Steel P120 ‐ P220 
Aluminium P150 ‐ P220, 3M Scotch‐Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine 
E‐Coat (spare parts) P280 ‐ P400, 3M Scotch‐Brite™ pad grey, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine (faultless E‐Coat requires only cleaning) 
OE Finish / Repair Coatings P240 – P500, 3M Scotch‐Brite™ pad red, 3M Soft Pad superfine 
Putty / Filler Coarse sanding: P120 ‐ P150, fine sanding: P240 ‐ P320 
Spray Polyester Coarse sanding: P150, fine sanding: P240 ‐ P320 
Primer‐Surfacer P320 ‐ P400, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine 
Surfacer P320 – P500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine 
Topcoat (blending areas) P800 ‐ P1500, 3M Soft Pad ultrafine, 3M Scotch‐Brite™ pad extrafine 

Deltron D8138 Deltron D8171 Deltron D8172 Deltron D8173 Clearcoat(s) 1) Please refer to the chapter "Repair of Plastic Parts" to find more details about the repairing of plastic parts with the approved MB Plastic Repair Kit. The following Plastic Types can be repaired with this Repair System:
ABS ASA PA PA6 PA‐GF15 PA6‐MD30 PA6‐GF20‐M20 PA/PPE PA/PPO PBT PBTP PBT‐GF PC PC/ABS PC/PBT PC/PPO PPA PP/EPDM PPO PRIM PRIM‐GF20 PS PUR/RIM‐GF20 PUR‐GF PUR, soft RIM TPO General Information on Cleaning: The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved. 



Wash all surfaces with soap and water If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre‐
stoved for 30 minutes at 60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process. Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D8434 Plastic Substrate Cleaner. Clean each section individually wiping on D8434 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended. Use D846 DX103 Antistatic Agent for Plastics to prevent the build up of static, ensuring a dust free finish. RLD241V Notes: 
This repair system PLW02 can be used if one of the plastic types has been repaired with one of the Mercedes‐Benz approved plastic repair kits (SI98.20‐Z‐0002A bzw. SI98.20‐N‐0001A). 
It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface. 
It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122). 
Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™. 
In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes‐Benz Service Information SI98.00‐P‐0013A. PPG – Daimler AG Paint Manuals

Deltron D8135 Deltron D8141 Clearcoat(s) 1) Please refer to the chapter "Repair of Plastic Parts" to find more details about the repairing of plastic parts with the approved MB Plastic Repair Kit. The following Plastic Types can be repaired with this Repair System:
ABS ASA PA PA6 PA‐GF15 PA6‐MD30 PA6‐GF20‐M20 PA/PPE PA/PPO PBT PBTP PBT‐GF PC PC/ABS PC/PBT PC/PPO PPA PP/EPDM PPO PRIM PRIM‐GF20 PS PUR/RIM‐GF20 PUR‐GF PUR, soft RIM TPO General Information on Cleaning: The key to successful painting of plastic substrates is thorough preparation. Inadequate cleaning is especially likely to cause adhesion failure when a plastic substrate is involved. 



Wash all surfaces with soap and water If the surface of the plastic substrate appears inconsistant, it is recommended that the part be ‘flamed’ or pre‐
stoved for 30 minutes at 60°C. This will drive any residual release agents to the surface for easier removal during the cleaning process. Clean the plastic surface carefully and thoroughly with D8434 Plastic Substrate Cleaner. Clean each section individually wiping on D8434 with a clean cloth and removing it another clean dry cloth. For textured or other uneven surfaces, the use of a fine nylon brush (such as a nailbrush) is recommended. Use D846 DX103 Antistatic Agent for Plastics to prevent the build up of static, ensuring a dust free finish. RLD241V Notes: 
This repair system PLW02 can be used if one of the plastic types has been repaired with one of the Mercedes‐Benz approved plastic repair kits (SI98.20‐Z‐0002A bzw. SI98.20‐N‐0001A). 
It is strongly recommended not to steam clean the paint finish within 6 weeks after application and drying. After that time keep a minimum distance of 30 cm between the jet nozzle and the paint surface. 
It may be necessary to flexibilize the clearcoat / topcoat with D814 (not for D8105 or D8122). 
Plastic parts are not originally painted with a scratch resistant clearcoat like CeramiClear™. 
In the case that both metal and plastic body parts on one car need to be repaired, it is recommended due to efficiency reasons to repaint the plastic parts also with CeramiClear™. Please refer to the Mercedes‐Benz Service Information SI98.00‐P‐0013A. PPG – Daimler AG Paint Manuals

Notes 

*Matt Dual 
The Matt Dual Clearcoat System special paint process has been developed particularly for repairing MB 0 056 Designo‐Magno‐Nachtschwarz. o
Full resprays can be carried out with the normal matt clearcoat process. o
Application of the dual clearcoat system is by two normal coats plus control coat, whilst application of the full matt clearcoat system should be two full wet coats plus control coat. 
Matt Clearcoat must be flashed off until completely matt between coats and before bake to ensure an even matt finish. o
Clearcoat flash off times can be 30 minutes to 1 hour depending on repair type and size. o
This is especially important on larger horizontal areas. 
Jobs must be kept extremely clean. o
Any dirt inclusions must be removed before the final coat of clearcoat. o
This can be during the basecoat stage OR after the first coat of clearcoat has flashed off well. o
Dirt nibs cannot be polished out of the final coat. o
In these cases the job must be re‐prepared and the full repair area carefully re‐applied with clearcoat. Clearcoat Systems Matt finishes present a number of obstacles in the repair process, including: o
Variation in gloss across the vehicle body can mean more than one gloss level for repairing. o
Gloss variation is not always easily visible before the repair is made. o
The gloss level can change in service over time depending on cleaning / maintenance. Matt clearcoats contain raw materials to reduce gloss and contribute to the colour match. o
This means the colour match involves a basecoat + clearcoat combination. o
Different clearcoat film builds can also cause a colour shift when applied over OE clearcoat. o
It is essential to apply colour panels to check gloss level and colour achieved in the specific bodyshop environment prior to repairing the specific vehicle. o
When choosing the color panel for gloss level, it is best to choose something slightly higher in gloss rather than lower PPG – Daimler AG Paint Manuals Mercedes‐Benz Cars [EC] Page 4 of 4 © PPG Industries Inc. [English]

4.3. Special Paint Repair System N‐S‐03‐EC Warranty repair Process for 3 stage colors “Bright colors” Preliminary Information Remember that 3‐stage color effect is a combination of light reflection from the ground coat (opaque solid, metallic or pearlescent basecoat) as well as a phenomenon of light transition through the transparent / translucent layer of the midcoat (solid tinted or pearlescent basecoat). Therefore the film build of the midcoat layers plays an important role in accurate color matching. In practice it means that the sprayer must make a set of test panels with different film build of the midcoat, choose a correct test panel and repair a car with the same number of midcoat layers. This verification process is described in details below. The processes described below are approved warranty standard processes. 3‐Stage Pearl Color Verification •
•
•
Preparation •
For all 3‐Stage pearlescent colors it is essential to spray a set of test color panels to verify the quality of the color match. •
This should be done prior to commencing the repair. These spray outs will be unique to the sprayer! This will ensure: •
The correct shade of ground coat has been selected. •
The correct number of coats of midcoat has been applied (important because the number of coats of midcoat applied has a dramatic effect on the final color and effect of the job). •
Reduced chance of expensive rework through improved color matching. Preparation of color verification panels – ground coat •
First select the correct ground coat variant or special. •
Apply the appropriate GreyMatic (D8018 / D8019 / D8024) or DP4000 Primer (D8501 / D8505 / D8507) primer shade to a test panel (see color formulation for recommended shade). •
Refer to relevant PDS: GreyMatic (RLD193V) or DP4000 (RLD249V). •
Make up the ground coat color and thin in the normal way. •
For optimum durability and adhesion 5% of Activator D8260 can be added to the Envirobase High Performance ground coat color before thinning. Please note the potlife of 1 hour. •
Spray the ground coat to opacity onto a test panel and dry. •
If possible try to locate a section on the vehicle which has only ground coat applied e.g. under the bonnet, and assess quality of match. This might not always be the case. •
•
If the color is different then tint the ground coat to achieve a good color match. •
Apply the matched ground coat over the appropriate GreyMatic Shade test color panel. Preparation of color verification panels – midcoat •
Mix the midcoat as per the formula and mix as per the data sheet (refer to relevant PDS – Envirobase High Performance (RLD213V). •
Mask 4 parallel sections on the let‐down panel. •
Apply one coat of midcoat. Blow dry. •
Remove 1st layer of masking, apply one coat of midcoat and blow dry. •
Remove 2nd layer of masking, apply one coat of midcoat and blow dry. PPG – Daimler AG Paint Manuals

3‐Stage Pearl Color Verification (cont.) •
Remove 3rd layer of masking, apply one coat of midcoat and blow dry. •
Remove 4th layer of masking and blow dry. •
Flash‐off the let‐down panel. •
Apply one coat of 2K clearcoat (Deltron Premium UHS Clearcoat D8138 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8105 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8122 or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8171, or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8172, or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8173) the panel and bake or Infrared. •
Refer to relevant PDS: D8138 (RLD237V), D8105 (RLD170V), D8122 (RLD195V), D8171 (RLD259V), D8172 (RLD264V) or D8173 (RLD285V) •
Once the clearcoat is dry, compare the test panels to a polished section of the original vehicle adjacent to the repair area. •
Select the panel closest in color to the vehicle. •
Use this number of midcoats on the job. •
Apply paint to final job exactly as for the test panels. 3‐Layer Color Panel Repair using Fade‐out Technique
•
Apply Deltron 2K GreyMatic UHS Prima (D8018, D8019, D8024) with the appropriate GreyMatic Shade (see notes in color formulations) to the panel(s). Flash‐off, bake and let the panel(s) cool down to ambient temperature (20°C – 25°C). •
Alternative: use DP4000 Primer (D8501 / D8505 / D8507) with the appropriate GreyMatic Shade (see notes in color formulations) without baking and sanding. •
Refer to relevant PDS: GreyMatic (RLD193V) or DP4000 (RLD249V). •
Use black guide coat and sand using a rotary‐orbital sanding machine (3 mm stroke) and P400 – P500 grade paper discs. •
Surface of adjacent panels with OE clearcoat (fade‐out areas) must be flattened with sanding paper P800 – P1500 or wet fine sanding disc P3000 or a wet ultrafine pad and a preparation gel, e.g. Deltron D8407 (RLD243V). •
Clean the sanded surface thoroughly with Waterborne low VOC Cleaner D8401 (RLD63V) and wipe‐off any remains. Do not let the spirit wipe dry on the surface. •
Apply ground coat as normal and fade into the adjacent panel(s). Ground coat must reach perceived opacity over the recommended Greymatic! •
Allow to dry uniformly and tack‐rag before applying midcoat. •
Apply midcoat to the repair area making sure that the paint layer extends beyond the ground coat area. Each coat of midcoat should extend further into the repair area to ensure a good fade‐out edge. Apply fully wetted single coats. •
Allow each coat of midcoat to dry fully. •
Allow 5 – 10 minutes flash‐off before applying clearcoat. •
Apply clearcoat (Deltron Premium UHS Clearcoat D8138 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8105 or Deltron CeramiClear™ D8122 or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8171 or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8172 or Premium UHS Clearcoat D8173 ) on the whole panel and adjacent parts after necessary flash‐off time. Polish the fade‐out edges after fully curing of the clearcoat and cooling down. •
Refer to relevant PDS: D8138 (RLD237V), D8105 (RLD170V), D8122 (RLD195V) or D8171 (RLD259V) or D8172 (RLD264V) or D8173 (RLD285V).

Special Sanding Process before Basecoat application o
Use the conventional process to prepare parts with PPG products ready to apply the basecoat. Clean the surface with Deltron Cleaner D837 and after with D8401 Refer to relevant PDS: Cleaners (RLD63V) Mix basecoat paint as per colour formula and mix as per product data sheet. Refer to relevant PDS: Envirobase High Performance (RLD213V) Thin paint 50% with T494. Spraygun set‐up: SATA 4000 RP 1,0 mm, 2 bar Clean the surface with Deltron Cleaner D837 and then with D8401 Refer to relevant PDS: Cleaners (RLD63V) Apply 1st double cross coat at 2 bar with gun 1 ¼ turns open and flash off until matt Apply 2nd double cross coat at 2 bar with gun 1 ¼ turns open and flash off until matt Dry between the both coats completely to matt. Do not apply the basecoat wet‐on‐wet. At this stage the metallic control must be even and free from patches. If not it is necessary to apply a further double cross coat. Finish the basecoat application with triple mist coats at 2 bar with ¾ turns open and flash off until matt.
Care should be taken to apply this final mist layer very dry and even without any “wetting up” of the basecoat. Flash off before clearcoat 20‐ 30 minutes and if possible run through Fast Aquadry or similar cycle. To blend the basecoat, apply the first double cross coat to the primed area, then extend each subsequent coat a little further into the blend area using normal blending techniques to achive an even blend into Page 1 of 2 © PPG Industries Inc.
