PAINT CODE INFORMATION

The listings of 1990 paint codes contained in this bulletin will enable dealers to order the necessary paint materials required for effective field repairs.

The list of colors indicates the suppliers' ordering codes for exterior, interior, vinyl roof moldings, and paint stripe colors.

Listed below are Cadillac Assembly Plants and their suppliers. It should be noted, however, that paint suppliers are subject to change.

Assembly Plant Paint Type Paint Supplier Paint Codes -------------- ---------- -------------- ----------- Hamtramck Clearcoat Enamel DuPont All Hamtramck (Allante) Clearcoat Enamel PPG All Orion Clearcoat Enamel PPG All Arlington Dispersion Lacquer DuPont All

Other manufacturers produce service paint which could perform satisfactorily for field repairs. Paint suppliers in your area can provide you with information regarding these materials.

The paint listed in this bulletin is (or soon will be) available from local paint suppliers.

The Service Parts Identification (SPID) label illustrated in Figure 1 is located on the inside of the trunk panel or the spare tire cover. This label contains the paint codes needed to identify the paint materials for field repairs. Note this label identifies the paint code along with the WA# for that paint code. It is equally important to use this WA# along with the paint code to identify the correct repair materials. This is especially true for codes #40 White and #41 Black, where the WA# identifies the clearcoat repair material from the dispersion lacquer repair material. Care should be taken to transfer the SPID label or its information if the panel to which the label is affixed requires replacement. Replacement SPID labels are not available.

EXTERIOR PLASTIC PARTS

All 1990 Cadillacs have exterior parts made of various types of plastic materials that require specific procedures to obtain high quality refinishing results. Included in this bulletin is a chart listing the different types of plastic materials used on 1990 models. For best results when painting is required, determine the type of plastic material from the chart. Then follow the correct paint procedure, depending upon what painting material and equipment is available.

A. General Paint Procedure For Exterior Flexible Plastics

Polyvinylchloride (PVC); Polyurethane (PUR, TPUR, RRIM, RIM); Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE); Thermoset Polyester (SMC); EPDM Rubber (supplied in prime).

There are a multitude of finishing systems available on the market for painting and/or repairing flexible plastic parts. Following is a general outline of painting procedures, including a list of available products. Refer to the manufacturer's literature available through your jobber for details on proper mixing and application.

1. Thoroughly clean part by washing with a suitable cleaning solvent* to remove all surface contaminates.

Cleaning Solvents:

a. DuPont Prep-Sol b. Rinshed-Mason Pre-Kleano 900 c. PPG/Ditzler Acryli-Clean DX330 d. Sherwin-Williams R7Kl56 e. Acme 88; Rogers 088 f. Martin-Senour 6383

IMPORTANT: Previously painted parts that show signs of cracking, peeling, or improper adhesion must be stripped before repainting. The old finish may be removed with any commercially available chlorinated solvent stripper or lacquer thinner.

IMPORTANT: To avoid swellin, do not soak parts longer than necessary to remove the old paint.

2. Scuff sand to an even dull appearance the entire surface to be painted with fine (400 rit) sandpaper and feather edge any damaged areas and rewash.

3. Apply two thin coats of prinier, when required, per top coat manufacturer's recommendation and allow to completely dry before proceeding. (For most products, approximately 30 minutes.)

4. Prepare color coat according to the manufacturer's recommendation and apply sufficient double coats to develop the proper shade. For best results, allow a few minutes flash time between each double coat and allow to completely dry before using.

5. Following is a list of some of the products available for painting flexible plastic:

PPG/Ditzler Elastomeric Primer - DPX844 PPG/Ditzler Flexative - DX369 (Permanent Flexible Urethane Additive) PPG/Ditzler Flex Additive - DX1798 (Non-Urethane Additive) DuPont Flexlar - 350S (Flexible Additive) Sherwin-Williams Multi-Flex - V6V299 Acme/Rogers Multi-Flex - 68/4068 Martin-Senour Flex Additive - 3084

B. Nylon - Will be supplied in prime. Use the same procedure to refinish as on sheet metal parts

C. Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS) - No prime required. Paint with acrylic lacquer.

D. Polyester Parts (UP, PBTP) - Will be supplied in prime and/or black paint. Use the same procedure to refinish or repair as on sheet metal parts.

E. Polypropylene - Interior parts.

1. Wash surface thoroughly with enamel reducer. (Do not use wax and grease removers.)

2. Apply primer immediately and allow to dry completely before color coating.

3. Color coat with lacquer or enamel reduced and applied according, to the manufacturer's recommendation.

4. Materials:

Cleaning Solvent - DuPont 38125 Enamel Reducer

PPG/Ditzler DTE-101 or DTE-102 "Bobcat" Enamel Reducer

Primer: DuPont 3293 GM 1052364 PPG/Ditzler DPX-800 Sherwin-Williams P3C24* Acme/Rogers 524/4524* Martin-Senour 6242*

* Good on Polyethylene and Polypropylene parts

F. GTX 910 Fender

1. The front fenders used on 1990 DeVilles and Fleetwoods are made of a rigid corrosion-resistant plastic material known as GTX 910.

2. Procedures and materials for GTX 910 plastic fender are the same as those used on rigid SMC or sheet metal parts and do not require flex agent additives.

G. Xenoy

1. Allante front and rear bumpers and DeVille lower accent moldings are made of Xenoy, materials. Xenoy parts will be supplied in colors. Use the same refinish procedures as on sheet metal parts for any required paint repairs.

General Motors bulletins are intended for use by professional technicians, not a "do-it-yourselfer". They are written to inform those technicians of conditions that may occur on some vehicles, or to provide information that could assist in the proper service of a vehicle. Properly trained technicians have the equipment, tools, safety instructions and know-how to do a job properly and safely. If a condition is described, do not assume that the bulletin applies to your vehicle, or that your vehicle will have that condition. See a General Motors dealer servicing your brand of General Motors vehicle for information on whether your vehicle may benefit from the information.
