Caution: Many paint repair systems require additives containing isocyanates. It is essential that all recommendations and warnings listed on the container label for materials selected be followed. It is mandatory that adequate respiratory protection be worn. Examples of such protection are: airline respirators with a full hood or half mask, or disposable respirators such as 3M® models #6984 and #6986. Such protection should be worn during the entire painting process. Persons with respiratory problems or those allergic to isocyanates must not be exposed to isocyanate vapors or spray mist.

The refinish process is the same for steel and rigid plastic parts, flexible additives are not required for use on acrylonltrite/butadine styrene and polycarbonate (ABS + PC) or polyamide, polyphene ether

(PA + PPE) and sheet molded compound (SMC) materials as long as OEM equivalent acrylic urethane top coats are used.

All exterior flexible plastic parts used on Saturn automobiles are a thermoplastic olefin (TPO) compound. Refinishing requires the use of flexible additives in the primer surfacer and clear coat. Flex additives need not be used in the basecoat. Additionally, 3M® Polyolefin Adhesion Promoter P/N 5907 or D820 equivalent must be used over all bare surfaces.
