The first of a range of products Dunlop is to introduce for the motor repair trade is Dunlop Panelguard -a spray-on protective coating. It has been designed for use where vehicle repairs necessitate the removal of the original manufacturer's coating, to supplement the original coating or to act as a complete seal on unprotected surfaces.
The coating dries to a tough, continuous flexible film which has good resistance to extremes of temperature and environment. It dries quickly and can be painted over after two hours. When sprayed to normal thickness, 0.125in. to 0.187in., there is no slumping, sagging or running out, says the company.
The finish, apart from being protective, is also claimed to be decorative and suitable for protecting valance panels and body sills from grit and stones, etc.
Sprayed on the inside of bonnets, door and floor panels it provides sound insulation. The Panelguard container is fitted to the spray gun and the coating is applied at a pressure between 70 and 85 psi at a distance of 12in .-18in .
