Notes on Painting AC Schnitzer Components
Before painting, all AC Schnitzer bodystyling components must be checked for fit on the vehicle (e.g. contact surfac-
es/contours).
Any retouching work (e.g. sanding of contact surfaces/contours) must be carried out before painting !
The quality and durability of the paint on a component depends on the preparation and external influences, and cannot
therefore be compared with that on any other body element.
To avoid distortion/deformation during working and drying, AC Schnitzer components should be placed on a corresponding
jig.
Note !
The painting instructions of the paint manufacturer must be followed !
