General instructions on paintwork
General instructions and classification of paint stages are described on the KSD CD (under Notes, General
information on flat rate unit data, Passenger car explanation for FRU specifications for paintwork).
The marked area shows the basis of area calculation for creating the flat rate unit. The marked area does not
show the area actually to be painted. If touching up is required, the painter defines the precise position as he
sees fit.
Special procedure for matte paintwork:
Matte paintwork cannot be touched up since the painted surface cannot be polished.
For further information, see also the BMW painting handbook and the Aftersales Assistance Portal.

99 Notes on using temperature-controlled infra-red radiators
When using temperature-controlled infrared radiators, damage to adhesive bonds, paint and vehicle
components can occur when drying spatula and filler.
The temperature sensors in the infrared radiator only operate reliably on large, even surfaces.
On small surfaces such as C-pillars or sills, often only a colder, adjacent area is measured.
This leads to actual surface temperatures of up to 130°C, even if only 70°C is set on the infrared radiator.
When the rear side walls are partially replaced by bonding and riveting, these high temperatures can lead to a
visible pattern in the area of the joint.
Remedy:
Check the surface temperatures on small component surfaces during the drying process with an external
temperature sensor.
The general rule is: The surface temperatures must not exceed 85°C.
Important!
Do not use infrared radiators on carbon parts!
Risk of component destruction.

99 00 ... Touching up paintwork damage
These notes apply to paintwork damage on the body aperture that occurred when detaching bonded window
glass.
To ensure long-term corrosion protection, it is absolutely essential to touch up damage to paintwork!
The ”BMW Color System” painting handbook forms the basis of these repair instructions and must be
observed without fail.
Ground down damage to paintwork on body aperture and touch up with BMW multibase filler.
Grind larger areas or damage down to the bare sheet metal and coat with BMW multibase filler (layer thickness
30 to 40 μm).
Hardening time:
With infrared, at least 10 minutes
Without infrared for at least 60 °C, at least 30 minutes
Without infrared for at least 20 °C, at least 24 hours
If a complete build-up of paint is required in the visible area:
Tape off primed adhesive flange before applying top coat
Important!
