• Test 2 the same procedure was undertaken, but additionally, in the siloxane coated removal area Z a repair primer with a thickness of about 20 ⁇ m was applied, dried and heated to the temperature of crossiinking. Then, the area of the repair primer was finely grinded to remove thickness differences at its rims. Finally, a clear-coat was applied and thermally crosslinked. Then the corrosion resistance as well as the paint adhesion was tested.
