BODY PAINT COLOR and SCHEME to MATCH ORIGINAL
The exterior custom body will be metal finished and repainted to include hosebed,
crosslays, cargo area and exterior of pump hose.
PAINT -BODY and CAB
The exterior custom cab and body painting procedure will consist of a seven (7) step
finishing process as follows:
1. Manual Surface Preparation -All exposed metal surfaces on the custom body will be
thoroughly cleaned and prepared for painting. Surfaces that will not be painted include
all chrome plated, polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum and bright aluminum
treadplate. Each imperfection on the exterior metal surface will be removed or filled and
then sanded smooth for a smooth appearance. All seams will be sealed before painting.
2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment -The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned
using a 4-phase, high pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel
surfaces will be properly treated using a 3-phase, high temperature,
cleaning/phosphatizing system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil,
grease and metal oxides to ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. An ultra pure water
final rinse of 25 parts per million solids or less, will be applied to final rinse all metal
surfaces at the conclusion of the metal treatment process. This final rinse ensures all
chemical residues are removed and that no minerals, (salts), from the water dry onto the
metal surface and remain under the primers and topcoats. These salts can lead to
blistering and under film corrosion.
3. Primer/surfacer Coats - A minimum of two (2) mil dry, (.002), of two component
urethane primer/surfacer will be hand applied to the chemically treated metal surfaces to
provide a strong corrosion protective base coat and to smooth out the surface. The primer
is a high solids and low VOC paint.
4. Hand Sanding to Ultra Fine Finish The primer/surfacer coatis lightly sanded with
mild abrasive paper to an ultra smooth finish. This hand finish process is critical to
produce the smooth mirror like finish in the topcoat.
Page 12 of 17
5. Sealer Primer Coat A two- (2) component sealer primer coat is applied over the
sanded primer to again build toward the final smooth finish. This layer of primer sealer
also gives additional corrosion protection.
6. Topcoat Paint Two (2) coats of an automotive grade, two component acrylic urethane
paint are applied to provide the lasting beauty and durability. The acrylic urethane
topcoat contains a clear coat resin chemistry that creates the high gloss and depth of
image. This type of topcoat provides the best resistance against acid rain and other more
common chemicals.
7. Clearcoat -Two (2) coats of an automotive grade two (2) component urethane will be
applied. Lap style doors will be clear coated to match the body. Roll-up doors will not
be clear coated and the standard roll-up door warranty will apply.
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM-9540), of 40 cycles will be required
before making changes to the exterior coating process. Exterior coating systems,
(excluding the undercarriage components), must achieve a 1/16 or less maximum creep
from the scribe for aluminum and an 1/8 or less maximum creep from the scribe for
galvanneal after 40 cycles in the General Motors GM-9540 test.
Each batch of color topcoat, together with the finish painted vehicle, is tested for precise
color match. Visual color match will be checked following ASTM D-1729, (American
Standard Testing Methods), procedures using CIE, (International Commission on
Illumination), D75 Northern Daylight light source. Instrumental color match will follow
ASMT D-2244 procedures with a maximum delta E of 1.0 for whites, 1.4 for yellows,
blues, greens and 1.5 for reds.
All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, trim, etc. will be
removed and painted separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body
assemblies that can not be finish painted after assembly will be finish painted before
assembly.
PAINT -ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Contractor will meet or exceed all current State (his) regulations concerning paint
operations. Pollution control will include measures to protect the atmosphere, water and
soil. Controls will include the following conditions:
- Topcoats and primers will be chrome and lead free.
- Metal treatment chemicals will be chrome free. The wastewater generated in the metal
treatment process will be treated on-site to remove any other heavy metals.
- Particulate emission collection from sanding operations must have a 99.99% efficiency
factor.
- Particulate emissions from painting operations will be collected by a dry filter or water
wash process. If the dry filter means is used, it must have an efficiency rating of
98.00%. Water wash systems will be 99.97% efficient.
- Water from water wash booths will be reused. Solids will be removed mechanically on
a continual basis to keep the water clean.
Page 13 of 17
-Paint wastes are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. They are used as fuel
in kilns used in the cement manufacturing process -thereby extracting energy from a
waste material.
- Empty metal paint containers will be cleaned, crushed and recycled to recover the
metal.
- Solvents used in clean-up operations will be collected, recycled on-site, or sent off-site
for distillation and returned for reuse. Residue from the distillation operation will be
used as fuel in off-site cement kilns.

PAINT -BODY and CAB
The exterior custom cab and body painting procedure will consist of a seven (7) step
finishing process as follows:
1. Manual Surface Preparation -All exposed metal surfaces on the custom body will be
thoroughly cleaned and prepared for painting. Surfaces that will not be painted include
all chrome plated, polished stainless steel, anodized aluminum and bright aluminum
treadplate. Each imperfection on the exterior metal surface will be removed or filled and
then sanded smooth for a smooth appearance. All seams will be sealed before painting.
2. Chemical Cleaning and Treatment -The aluminum surfaces will be properly cleaned
using a 4-phase, high pressure and high temperature acid etching system. All steel
surfaces will be properly treated using a 3-phase, high temperature,
cleaning/phosphatizing system. Surfaces are chemically cleaned to remove all dirt, oil,
grease and metal oxides to ensure the subsequent coatings bond well. An ultra pure water
final rinse of 25 parts per million solids or less, will be applied to final rinse all metal
surfaces at the conclusion of the metal treatment process. This final rinse ensures all
chemical residues are removed and that no minerals, (salts), from the water dry onto the
metal surface and remain under the primers and topcoats. These salts can lead to
blistering and under film corrosion.
3. Primer/surfacer Coats - A minimum of two (2) mil dry, (.002), of two component
urethane primer/surfacer will be hand applied to the chemically treated metal surfaces to
provide a strong corrosion protective base coat and to smooth out the surface. The primer
is a high solids and low VOC paint.
4. Hand Sanding to Ultra Fine Finish The primer/surfacer coat is lightly sanded with
mild abrasive paper to an ultra smooth finish. This hand finish process is critical to
produce the smooth mirror like finish in the topcoat.
5. Sealer Primer Coat A two- (2) component sealer primer coat is applied over the
sanded primer to again build toward the final smooth finish. This layer of primer sealer
also gives additional corrosion protection.
6. Topcoat Paint Two (2) coats of an automotive grade, two component acrylic urethane
paint are applied to provide the lasting beauty and durability. The acrylic urethane
topcoat contains a clear coat resin chemistry that creates the high gloss and depth of
image. This type of topcoat provides the best resistance against acid rain and other more
common chemicals.
7. Clearcoat -Two (2) coats of an automotive grade two (2) component urethane will be
applied. Lap style doors will be clear coated to match the body. Roll-up doors will not
be clear coated and the standard roll-up door warranty will apply.
A cyclic corrosion test, (General Motors test GM-9540), of 40 cycles will be required
before making changes to the exterior coating process. Exterior coating systems,
(excluding the undercarriage components), must achieve a 1/16 or less maximum creep
Page 20 of 24
from the scribe for aluminum and an 1/8 or less maximum creep from the scribe for
galvanneal after 40 cycles in the General Motors GM-9540 test.
Each batch of color topcoat, together with the finish painted vehicle, is tested for precise
color match. Visual color match will be checked following ASTM D-1729, (American
Standard Testing Methods), procedures using CIE, (International Commission on
Illumination), D75 Northern Daylight light source. Instrumental color match will follow
ASMT D-2244 procedures with a maximum delta E of 1.0 for whites, 1.4 for yellows,
blues, greens and 1.5 for reds.
All removable items such as brackets, compartment doors, door hinges, trim, etc. will be
removed and painted separately to insure paint behind all mounted items. Body
assemblies that can not be finish painted after assembly will be finish painted before
assembly.
PAINT -ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT
Contractor will meet or exceed all current State (his) regulations concerning paint
operations. Pollution control will include measures to protect the atmosphere, water and
soil. Controls will include the following conditions:
- Topcoats and primers will be chrome and lead free.
- Metal treatment chemicals will be chrome free. The wastewater generated in the metal
treatment process will be treated on-site to remove any other heavy metals.
- Particulate emission collection from sanding operations must have a 99.99% efficiency
factor.
- Particulate emissions from painting operations will be collected by a dry filter or water
wash process. If the dry filter means is used, it must have an efficiency rating of
98.00%. Water wash systems will be 99.97% efficient.
- Water from water wash booths will be reused. Solids will be removed mechanically on
a continual basis to keep the water clean.
- Paint wastes are disposed of in an environmentally safe manner. They are used as fuel
in kilns used in the cement manufacturing process -thereby extracting energy from a
waste material.
- Empty metal paint containers will be cleaned, crushed and recycled to recover the
metal.
- Solvents used in clean-up operations will be collected, recycled on-site, or sent off-site
for distillation and returned for reuse. Residue from the distillation operation will be
used as fuel in off-site cement kilns.
