Provides technicians with a thorough explanation of the Special Refinish Processes which are color related. These types of colors may be a market trend, or the car manufacturer may wish to have something striking or appealing for their brand.
INTRODUCTION
Manufactures sometimes produce colors, or specific finishes which require different techniques or process from the standard technical data sheet. To achieve successful results when painting or repairing these type of finishes, there may be a variation from the standard recommended system. These types of colors maybe a market trend, or the car manufacturer may wish to have something striking or appealing for their brand. With this in mind, refinish and repair systems need to be created so this type of finish can be reproduced. The contents in this manual are for specific colors which are in the market, to enable the refinisher to achieve, and understand how to reproduce the desired finish or effect.

DETAILED INFORMATION ABOUT EACH SPECIAL REFINISH PROCESS - ORANGE, RED AND TEXTURED COLORS
FORD ELECTRIC ORANGE PEARL, COLOR FD 7 (VOC)
Ford Electric Orange Pearl, color FD 07
Ford Electric Orange Pearl was produced on vehicles between 2006 and 2012. This color was primarily a three-layer system, which can have the risk of excessive basecoat application.
A system is available which reduces the contrast between steps 1 and 2 by tinting 285-38 with 22 Line. This provides the benefit of achieving lower film builds and a homogenous appearance without clouding of 90 Line, whilst improving the surface hardness
STEP 1: PRE-TREATMENT

STEP 6: DRYING OF WET-ON-WET FILLER
30 min. drying at 60°C
STEP 7: BASECOAT
90 LINE BASECOAT APPLICATION (COLOR FD 7)
90 Line 2:1 with 93-E3 |
Standard pressure setting HVLP 1.3 with 2 bar |
First spraycoat: 1 normal coat |
Flash-off until the surface is uniformly mat |
Second spraycoat: 1 full coat |
Flash-off until the surface is uniformly mat |
Third spraycoat: 1 effect coat / half spraycoat |
We recommend forcing the flash-off process of the basecoat with suitable venturi systems. First and second spray coat: Distance between the spray gun and the object 10–15 cm. Third spray coat: Distance between the spray gun and the object 25–30 cm.
STEP 8: DRYING OF BASECOAT
10 min. at 60°C (and cool down before clearcoat)
