Repairing Punctures/Tears
To prevent personal injury, extreme care should be taken when working
with sharp edges.
1. Using a slide hammer or similar tool, pull damaged metal outward, level with outer surface, pull-
ing edges as close together as possible.
2. Weld pulled out area if necessary to close large gaps.
3. Spread body filler heavily around and across pulled out metal until area is completely sealed and
the surface is level with undamaged surface.
4. Sand area, paying particular attention to the edges, until completely smooth and level with the
surrounding surface.
5. Paint following the method described in “Painting Repaired Surfaces.”
Painting Repaired Surfaces
Solvents may be volatile and flammable. Keep all solvents away from
open flames or intense heat.
When painting a repaired surface, it may be easier to paint an entire
section, such as a door or panel, than to try to match the paint color for
a small portion of a surface.
To acquire the manufacturer’s color number to match paint for repaired area with paint presently on the
vehicle, contact the Gillig Corporation Parts Department. If an entire panel or section of the vehicle is to
be painted, exact color matching may not be necessary.
1. Thoroughly clean the repaired area and adjoining surface making sure all grease and debris is
removed. Sanded, filled area should be perfectly smooth to the touch.
2. Apply primer to any areas which have been sanded down to bare metal.
3. Apply paint evenly across surface, following manufacturer’s directions. Make sure paint does not
drip or run.
4. Allow paint to dry for several hours, as recommended by manufacturer’s instructions, before
exposing to dust or adverse weather and before applying any decals.
