Mechanical Adhesion

Primer and/or paint will not adhere to an un-sanded panel. The surface must be roughed up, which will produce a mechanical adhesion. Not properly preparing the surface will result in loss of adhesion and peeling. Most paint starts peeling from an edge, so make certain special attention to edges is taken.

No Hard Edges

Once the body filler or glaze putty is blocked sanded with 150 grit is now ready for primer. The first thing that you need to do is mask the adjacent panels and areas that you do not want to get primer to get on. This sounds simple enough, but many mistakes are made doing this. One of the common mistakes is making hard edges with the primer. This is done by masking a square around the damaged area. During the priming process, primer is sprayed against the tape edge causing a hard edge. This creates additional work trying to feather the primer edge smooth. We'll explain how to prevent that and other common mistakes in a masking article. Before we discuss masking, let's discuss prepping the panel before masking and priming.

When Painting The Entire Panel

Before you start priming and masking prepare the entire panel for paint or clear coat. First, sand several inches around the repair area with 320 grit on a DA sander. If the entire panel is going to be painted, go ahead and sand the entire panel with 500 grit on a DA sander. Make certain that when final sanding with a DA that you use the inter surface pad. Once the panel is sanded with a DA sander, use a red scuff pad to scuff the edges and all other areas that is hard to get with a DA sander. Do not rush this step, as edges are very important. If paint or primer is going to peel, it usually starts from an edge. Once you have the panel completely sanded, clean the surface with compressed air and wipe the panel with wax and grease remover. Go ahead and clean surrounding areas where tape may be applied to ensure the tape will adhere properly.

Blending Within A Panel

What if you're blending within a panel? Blending within a panel is where you are only going to paint the repair area and not the entire panel. This still requires sanding to the entire panel, as the entire panel will need to be clear coated. This used the same methods, but you must use finer grit sandpapers.

To repair a blend within a panel for primer sand past the repair area with 320 grit using a DA with an inter surface pad. Sand several inches past your repair area. Then switch to 500 grit DA using the inter surface pad and sand an additional 2-4 inches past the repair area. Now switch to 800 grit sandpaper using a DA with inter surface pad to sand the remaining panel surface. One the entire panel is sanded, use a gray, make sure it is gray, not red, scuff pad to scuff the edges and hard to reach areas of the panel. Now your ready to clean the surface as explained above. Blow with compressed air and wipe with wax and grease remover.

Eliminate Peeling

By sanding the entire panel before priming will ensure that all primer will adhere properly. If your primer sprays out a little further than you intended, you will be safe, as it has already been sanded. I have seen primer applied over un-sanded paint before. If left like this, it will cause the primer and what ever is applied over the primer (paint and clear) to peel off with it. That is something that you definitely do not want to happen.

Now that the panel is repaired and prepped, now you can get it ready to mask and prime.

Commercial Uses for Tarps

Tarps can be used in a variety of commercial settings. They can be very useful in construction, hauling loads, and storing equipment. Here are just a few of the ways tarpaulins are used.

Construction

In construction, one of the jobs tarpaulins are used for is protecting concrete mix. If bagged concrete mix is being used on a job site, pallets of mix may be hauled in at the start of the job. There they will stay until they have all been used. In the meantime, it could rain, soaking and ruining the cement if it is not protected. It is best to put waterproof yellow tarps, green tarps, blue tarps, or orange tarps over the top to keep out rain.

Lumber is also sometimes brought to a jobsite before there is a closed in place in which to store it. If left in the hot sun, it can warp. Reflective white tarps or silver tarps are good choices to prevent this. Rain can also damage the wood, so in that case yellow or orange tarps work fine.

When working on roofs, there is often a time when the roof needs a tarp to keep the weather from getting into the attic while it is exposed. Until the roofing job is complete, reflective silver tarps are often used. If the covering is required for a shorter length of time the economy tarp may be suitable for the job. As the these tarps are less expensive there tends to be a wider choice of sizes to accomodate the users needs.

Hauling Loads

Whether it is gravel from a quarry or seed corn from a farm, sturdy green tarps are always handy to cover the load. Tarpaulins can be tied down over the tops of the trucks to keep the small pieces from falling and damaging people's windshields. Canvas tarps are effective when water resistance is adequate. When a load needs to be kept waterproofed, poly tarps are best.

A smaller business might haul tools and equipment in the back of a pickup truck. In this case, the owner can use white tarps, green tarps, blue tarps, yellow tarps, silver tarps, orange tarps, or, if no other color matches the truck, clear tarps. This will keep the load clean and dry while keeping the truck looking professional.

Storing Equipment

A business might have any amount of equipment they need to store on their lot. Many different types of construction businesses use skid loaders, for instance. These pieces of equipment will stay out in the weather, but using heavy duty tarps will prolong their life. Landscaping companies use riding lawnmowers for the job. Companies that take care of their own company lots also use mowers. When winter comes, they may not have anywhere to store them but outside under tarpaulins.

If you are a business owner, you might like to look around your company and think about where you might benefit from using tarps. You can have a great effect on whether and when you have to replace construction materials or tools.
