1. PAINT TREATMENT

1.1 GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS

In the chapter ”Paint treatment”, directives are
provided for respraying and repairing DAF paint
systems applied on various subsurfaces.
The products to be used are supplied by a range
of manufacturers. However, only use products
from well-known manufacturers that provide all
products for the complete paint structure. The
use of these products must be described in the
instructions issued by the manufacturer.

Work according to the instructions listed below:
-

For rust-removal, use a rust-removal agent
based on phosphoric acid.

-

To clean and remove any preserving
agents, use an organic, chlorine-free
solvent.

-

Use a two-component epoxy or
polyester-based primer.

-

Use a two-component epoxy or
polyester-based filler.

-

Use a two-component epoxy or
polyester-based spray filler.

-

Use a two-component epoxy or
polyester-based filler.

-

Use a two-component epoxy PUR finishing
coat, with a degree of gloss of more than 92
degrees for cab top coats and a degree of
gloss of 70 degrees for chassis finishing
(measured at 60 degree geometry).

-

Maximum drying temperature is 80 C, with
the exception of fibre-glass strengthened
hand lay-up parts. Maximum drying
temperature of fibre-glass reinforced hand
lay-up parts is 60

_C.

-

For the paint structure, use only products
from the same supplier.

-

Use the products according to the
manufacturer’s instructions.

-

Never use products containing silicone in an
aerosol can.

Failure to follow the generally
applicable safety rules for using
paints and similar products can
result in serious injury and/or
danger.
During work with a rust-removal
agent, wear protective gloves and
safety goggles.
When using paints and similar
products, and when handling paint
waste, always work according to the
applicable environmental
requirements, to prevent
unnecessary environmental
pollution.

Colour coding
On the paint identification plate, the DAF code
number for the cab paint is listed, up to
mid-1996, together with a colour description, for
example, DFBRILWIT.
As from mid-1996, the colour code number used
by the paint manufacturer ”Dupont” is used
instead of the colour description. The ”Dupont”
colour code number consists of five or six
characters/digits. The ”Dupont” colour code
number is followed by the paint colour or an
abbreviation.
For example, in the code number L1041MEYL,
L1041 is the Dupont colour code number of the
paint, ME indicates that it is a metallic paint and
YL is the colour abbreviation, in this case yellow.
The paint identification plate is mounted on a
door pillar on the vehicle.

As from mid-1995, the DAF code number for the
cab paint is also marked on the vehicle identity
card. For vehicles where the DAF code number
is not yet printed on the identity card, a new
identity card can be requested from DAF, also
bearing the DAF code number for cab paint.

Removing rust
-

Apply the rust-removal agent in accordance
with the manufacturer’s instructions. The
concentration of the rust-removal agent
must be adapted to the amount of rust.

-

Preferably use a rust-removal paste on
vertical parts.

-

Prevent rust-removal agents entering
overlap joints.
