Body and Chassis Paint Guidelines {7000}

SMCS - 7000
On Highway Truck:

CT660 (S/N: TGA1-UP; TGD1-UP; TJD1-UP; TEJ1-UP; TRK1-UP; TKL1-UP; TEM1-UP;

TEP1-UP; TGR1-UP; TGS1-UP; TJS1-UP; TGT1-UP; TGW1-UP; TSW1-UP; TEY1-UP;

TSY1-UP; TEZ1-UP; TGZ1-UP)

This general field guideline applies to all CT660 Vocational Trucks for paint/body inspection.

Note: This document is a guideline.

• Common sense is to be used when applying these guidelines to the painted product. Customer

perception, color, and end-use must be considered prior to proceeding with warranty claims.

• Attempt should be made to keep the original OEM paint surface for long-term durability before

repainting with after-market material.

• Buffing and polishing dirt and defects is recommended before repainting.

• When properly performed, Fusor adhesive repairs are recommended over panel replacements.

• Damage due to rock chips and other normal wear and tear should be repaired in a timely

manner. These timely repairs prevent the formation and propagation of corrosion across the rest

of the panel. Progressive damage due to lack of proper maintenance is not considered to be a

warrantable item.

The only requirements are that the underside of the sunshades and the roof air deflectors have

complete paint coverage.
General Appearance Inspection Characteristics

Note: The truck should be washed prior to inspecting the following items:
Gloss/Orange Peel

Should be a consistent level to prevent a contrast of gloss or surface appearance between adjacent

areas/panels.
Color Match

Cab, hood, fender extensions, and skirting should have visual color match in bright daylight.

Coverage will be complete to conceal all substrate/primer color.
Metallic Mottling

No Machine/Zebra stripes allowed. "Eye catching" mottling is not allowed on (A) or (B) surfaces in

bright daylight.
Repairs

There can be no evidence that the unit had paint repair. Visible over spray, shadows, tape marks, or

residue, are not allowed. Multiple-tone units shall have clear crisp straight lines of demarcation from

color to color.
Deep Scratches

Exposed substrate in any area, large dings, dongs, and paint damage are not acceptable and must be

repaired.
Thin Areas

For long-term reliability issues, thin (primer showing) areas on sunlight-exposed areas are not

allowed.
Dings/Dongs, Mars/Marks, Bubbles/Craters, Sags/Runs, and Light Scratches

These items should not be repaired if the items are not visible at the prescribed viewing distance for

(A), (B), and (C) surfaces defined above. Refer to "Glamour Paint Procedure". These items should

never be repaired on (D) surfaces.

Dirt/Fisheyes

These items should not be repaired unless visible and excessive at the prescribed viewing distance for

(A), (B), and (C) surfaces defined above. Refer to "Glamour Paint Procedure". Excessive is defined as

5 or more particles in a 150 mm (6 inch) radius.
Chassis Paint Requirements

The chassis will be inspected for runs and sags, overspray, grind marks, poor or thin paint coverage

and easy removal of the paint from substrate. The term "Chassis" will include all support areas, rails,

fuel tanks, painted steps, wheels, and drive lines (when applicable).
Coverage

All visible areas of the frame must be covered. All colored frames must have adequate coverage to

provide the appearance of proper color match throughout the body of the frame. Hubs must be

covered with paint. No paint is allowed on the studs, back plate, or machined areas.

An important area is the side of the frame between trailer/box and cab.

Top flanges, lower flanges, and areas outside of the web, must be covered totally. Areas directly

below the fifth wheel mounting and above the rear axles may have minimal coverage due to

accessibility. Axles, hubs, yokes, and U-bolts shall have uniform coverage. Prop shafts and the

outside of assembled yokes shall have uniform coverage over 360 degrees of rotation. Due to inner

bearings, the OEM supplier recommends that driveline yokes are not to be degreased prior to topcoat

application). No open thin areas are allowed. Areas behind hoses and brackets must be primed and

some effort must be made to cover this area. Purchased fifth wheels are prepared for painting at the

designated supplier. Therefore, International should not be responsible for premature corrosion/rust

marks on the fifth wheels during presale. The fifth wheel ramp is welded after the frame is primed. A

corrosion resistant primer is applied prior to the chassis topcoat application to prevent rust marks

forming from the weld. Due to the function of the ramp and fifth wheel, continually touch-up after

delivery by the customer is recommended. Bus under-coating must cover all exposed areas.
Runs/Sags

Sags on the open areas of the inside of the frame rails shall not exceed 150 mm (6 inch) lineal and 50

mm (2 inch) vertical in a 1.2 m (4 ft) length. On fifth wheel units, the rear crossmember is to be free

of sags and thin areas. Sags on the open area of the outside of the rails shall not have sags that exceed

75 mm (3 inch) lineal and 50 mm (2 inch) vertical and have no more than 1 crest. Sags on drivelines

and axles are allowed if not excessive. Some sags may occur in hard to access areas and are allowed if

not excessive. Horizontal surfaces of all steps shall not exhibit excessive paint, bubbles, crazing, or

pooling.
Overspray

All visible areas of the frame area must be free of overspray. Overspray inside the rail and less visible

areas may be allowed if not excessive.

Marking

All top flanges and web shall be free of hose, drag marks, and excessive marring. The manufacturing

characteristics of rails in general cause scratching and some surface marks on the sides of the rail.

These marks will be painted over and will not be repaired by sanding or metal finishing which may

affect performance of the prime
