  • Publication number: 20060263515
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for repairing lacquer imperfections, especially minor lacquer imperfections of body paints. The lacquer is removed in the imperfect area in a very small spot down to a predetermined depth, preferably in a crater form shape and the imperfect spot is then concealed by repainting it so that it is almost invisible to the human eye. The lacquer is preferably removed in an area that extends beyond the imperfect spot only by maximally few millimeters and down to a coloring base lacquer layer below the clear coat or a filler layer present below said base lacquer layer. Repainting comprises preferably applying a color lacquer layer in the sand-blasted area, filling the dent in the lacquer with a clear coat, overspraying the imperfect spot with a color lacquer and applying a protective clear coat layer.
