the BMW way of painting yer car

[c.d.iesel]

...pulled from a BMW Paintwork technical training manual

for your information.

the paint film test gauge:

ERICHSEN " Pentest "

Inexpensive instrument using the magnetic pull-off method for rapid non-destructive

measurement of non-magnetic layers on steel. Measuring

result held mechanically. No electrical supply required.

Measuring range: 25 - 700 microns.

Ha, All that and they still rust.

I think 1502 ~ 2002 's did not include

steps 1, 2, 3, & 4 .

The bodies were run thru a dip tank of primer. Then they were color sprayed by hand. G

What's the point of showing the rust prevention steps NOT taken with 02 paint. You can post a picture of an aircraft carrier's steam driven catapult too, but I am not planning to install one on the hood of my 02. Same relevance though.

.....the point is to instruct home painters

how BMW paint procedures 'advanced' in the years

after the 02 production - " IF " one wanted to know

how to " IMPROVE ' on the original steps and follow the

factory method of body painting.

And the Technical Training pages I provide are never seen by

the average shadetree hack .

No, step 1 was different. They started with Rust, not sheetmetal.
