PAINTING INSTRUCTIONS (IF UNPAINTED) Sand Tonneau Cover prior to painting recommend 500 grit using an orbital type sander. Prior to painting, clean all surfaces to be painted using clean water and a mild detergent, do not use lacquer thinner or any solvent based products. Wipe completely dry. Best results will be achieved by wiping the areas to be painted with a tack rag just prior to painting. Select a top coat and clear paint that is suitable for ABS (Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene). Automotive paint systems, such as Acrylics or Two Packs, can be applied directly to the components. However, some paints may require a primer. If recommendations on paint specification are not followed, cracking of the part or degradation to the material may result. In all paint systems, aromatic hydrocarbons and alkalies are best avoided to reduce damage to the material properties. If using a paint system which requires baking, do not expose the product to temperatures above 70 C (55 F). Allow a minimum of 8 hours after baking before installation on the vehicle. page 3 3/0/09
