Cautions regarding panel repairs:
1.
When repainting original parts, do so after first mask-
ing the theft-protection label, and, after painting, be
sure to peel off the masking tape.
2. The theft-protection label for replacement parts is cov-
ered by masking tape, so such parts can be painted
as is. The masking tape should be removed after paint-
ing is finished.
3. The theft-protection label should not be removed from
original parts or replacement parts.
