AUTOMOBILE FlINISI-I AND FINISHING PROCESS.

Application filed December 5, 1924. Serial No. 754,184.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, WONG Y. TIME, a citizen of the United States, residing at Honolulu and Territory of Hawail, have invented certain new and useful Im rovements in Automobile Finish and Fimshing Processes, of which the following is a speci: fication.

The present invention relates to a finish for an automobile body or the like having for its prime object to provide afinish which will withstand the ravishes ofthe .heat particularly in an extremely hot climate.

Another object of the invention is to provide a fi-nish which may be applied to an automobile body or the like with considerable ease and without very much skill yet will be durable and attractive in appearance.

- It is well known that when the surfaces of automobile bodies or the like are finished by the conventional painting or enameling method, the finish is greatly affected and rapidly destroyed by heat from the engine, the sun and other sources.

An important object of the present invention is to provide a process of finishing surfaces, so that the same will not be seriously affected by heat, and,whereby the same will. remain in good condition for an indefinite period of time.

A further object of the invention is to provide a process of finishing surfaces by means of which the product can be ke t good condition .by washing the same rom time to time without requiring polishing.

/ A still. further object of the invention is to provide a process of finishing surfaces which may be carried out cheaply and easily without the requirement of special skill.

With the above and numerous other objects in view as will appear as the description proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and in the combination and arrangement of parts as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. I

In the drawing: Figure 1 is a fra mentary elevation of an automobile body s owing the same partly with my improved finish, and

Figure 2 1s a section taken therethro h The invention consists broadly of app lying a coat of paint to the surface 0 t e body, and then applying a second coat thereto and before the second coat of aint dries applying thereto sand either by and or am 1 1 In the-drawing it will be seen that 1 (lesignates the body, 2 the first coat of paint, 3 the second coat of'paint with the sand applied thereto, and 4 the final or last coat of paint with sand applied thereto.- Of course as many coats may be used as may be desired. In the preferred construction of this invention the following detail process has been found very desirable. The surface of the body is first cleaned with gasoline, ammonia, or lye and then sand papered so as to roughen the same for receiving a priming coat; This priming coat consists of red lead mixed with twenty-five per cent of coach japan, twenty five per cent of turpentine and fifty per cent of raw linseed oil. This priming coat should be allowed to dry at least forty eight hours. The second coat is then applied consisting of white lead in oil mixed with twenty five per cent of turpentine, and seventy five per cent of boiled linseed oil. The sand is applied to this coat either by hand or air and allowed to dry for thirty six hours. I

The third coat is then applied consisting of one coat of white lead 1n oil mixed with fifty per cent of boiled linseed oil and-fifty per cent of finishing varnish and of course the sand is applied immediately either by hand or air. This third coat should be allowed to dry for forty eight hours. The sand, of course. may be dyed in an suitable color thus imparting the desire color to the finish.

It is thou ht that the construction and application of this body finish will now e clearly understood without a more detailed description thereof. It it desired, however to point out that changes in the materials may be utilized without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed.

Having thus described my invention, what Iclaim as new is:

1. A body, a priming coat on the bod consisting of red lead mixed with coac japan and raw linseed oil, a second coat consisting of white lead in oil' mixed with boiled linseed oil and sand applied to the second coat, and athird coat consisting of white lead in oil mixed vn'th boiled linseed oil and finishing Varnish, andsand applied to the third coat.

' 2. In a body finish of the class described, a body, a priming coat on the body consisting of red lead mixed. with twenty five per cent of coach japan, and fifty per cent of raw linseed oil; a second coat consisting of white lead in oil mixed with seventy per cent of boiled linseed oil, and sand applied thereto; and a third coat consisting 0 white lead in oil mixed with fifty per cent of boiled linseed oil, fifty per cent of finishing varnish and sand applied thereto.

3. The herein described process of finishing surfaces consisting in first applying a priming coat including a base of lead pigment and allowing the same to thoroughly dry, then applying a second coat including a base of lead pigment and applyingsand thereto before drying, then allowing the second coat to thoroughly dry, then applying a third coat including a lead pigment memes mixed with coach japan, turpentine and raw linseed oil, then allowing the priming coat to thoroughly dry, next applying a second coat embodying white lead in oil mixed with turpentine and boiled linseed oil, a plying sand to the second coat before tl ie same is allowed to dry, then allowing the second coat to thoroughly dry, next a plying a third coat including white lead no oil mixed with boiled linseed oil and finishing varnish, applying sand to the third coat before the same is allowed to dry, then allowing the third coat to thoroughly dry.

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.

WONG Y. TIME.
