Application of top coat
Material:
medium solid top coat (artificial resin)
Processing method:
Metallic finishes
1. application ESTA
2. application, pneumatic
Standard paints:
ESTA
In order to ensure that the layers of applied corrosion protection are not damaged, only a certain amount of sanding is performed on the body outer skin (such as, e.g. removing dust inclusions).
