SERVICE GUILD: USAGE OF NONMETALLIC PAINT

Subject: USAGE ON NONMETALLIC PAINT ON UNDERHOOD/INTERIOR TRUNK

Model and Year: 1990 CELEBRITY, CAVALIER 1991 CAVALIER

TO: ALL CHEVROLET DEALERS

1990 AW35 assembled in Ste. Therese. 1990-91 J assembled in Lordstown.

The purpose of this bulletin is to advise the usage of nonmetallic paint in production on interior body areas assembled in Ste. Therese and Lordstown.

These areas are painted using color-matched primer without basecoat/clearcoat. This produces a non-metallic color that closely coordinates to the topcoat color but has a lower gloss specification than the exterior topcoat.

There will not be an exact match to metallic colors of exterior basecoat/clearcoat. If repairs of the primed areas are required, use basecoat/clearcoat enamel to match the exterior color.

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.
