Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The method for producing a repair sheet includes: attaching a nonpolar resin plate to an appropriate position on a dummy vehicle body corresponding to a repair area including a coating film in need of repair; supplying the dummy vehicle body to a topcoat application line and forming a pigment layer on a nonpolar resin plate and a clear layer on a nonpolar resin plate under a condition equal to that for topcoat application to a vehicle body to be actually coated; and supplying the dummy vehicle body to a coating drying line and drying the nonpolar resin plate having the pigment layer and the nonpolar resin plate having the clear layer formed thereon under a condition equal to that for coating drying of the vehicle body to be actually coated.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for producing a repair sheet for repair of a coating film of a vehicle body, comprising: a first step of detachably attaching a nonpolar resin plate to a position on a dummy vehicle body corresponding to a repair area comprising a coating film in need of repair; a second step of supplying the dummy vehicle body to a topcoat application line that is the same as that for a vehicle body to be actually coated and forming either a pigment layer or a clear layer, or both of the pigment layer and the clear layer on the nonpolar resin plate under a condition equal to that for topcoat application to the vehicle body to be actually coated; and a third step of supplying the dummy vehicle body to a coating drying line that is the same as that for the vehicle body to be actually coated and drying the nonpolar resin plate having either the pigment layer or the clear layer formed thereon or having both of the pigment layer and the clear layer formed thereon under a condition equal to that for coating drying of the vehicle body to be actually coated. 2 . The method for producing a repair sheet according to claim 1 , wherein in the second step, when forming the pigment layer or both of the pigment layer and the clear layer on the nonpolar resin plate, the pigment layer is formed to have a varying thickness.
