Scope
This Material/Process Specification (MPS) specifies the requirements for the visual
appearance of topcoat-ready, primed exterior nonchassis components, including acceptance
criteria for primed coating finishes as applicable to smooth exterior surfaces of metal,
fiberglass and plastic body components that will receive a topcoat finish.

Requirements
3.1
General Requirements
3.1.1
When referenced on a Peterbilt drawing, the primer surface finish requirements specified shall
apply unless otherwise specified on the drawing.
3.1.2
Inspections referenced in this MPS address the limits of surface defects that are typically
associated with characteristics inherent in the primed surface finish.
3.1.3
The supplier shall endeavor to minimize surface defects using optimal production practices
for the surface preparation, primer application and primer surface finishing as applicable.

3.1.4
Parts shall be furnished clean, free from oils, wax, manufacturing chips, dirt or other foreign
matter. Sufficient protection shall be provided to prevent wear and tear, corrosion, or
contamination (other than minor dirt or dust) of the material during transit.
3.2
>
3.2.1
The parts shall be primed in accordance with the requirements of the applicable Peterbilt
specifications and part drawings. The parts shall not require additional repairs or additional
sanding to remove surface roughness or other surface defects prior to being cleaned in
preparation for topcoat painting.
>
3.2.2
For all finishes except coil-coated finishes, the primed surface shall be sanded, as applicable,
to a smooth, orange peel-free surface finish. Final finish sanding of the primer or in-mold
coating shall be accomplished using 320 400 grit sandpaper. After final finish sanding, the
parts shall be cleaned to remove sanding dust, as applicable, before inspection and shipment
to Peterbilt.
>
3.2.3
All touch-up, spot repairs and overspray around repair areas shall be sanded smooth using 320
400 grit sandpaper to blend into the original primer finish.
3.3
Detection Methods
3.3.1
A solvent wipe (water or alcohol preferred) is recommended to aid in the visual detection of
surface defects, such as pinholes, porosity and solvent pops.
3.3.2
For fiberglass and plastic parts, inspection shall occur only after parts have seen elevated
temperatures. Parts molded below 220 F shall be post-cured for the equivalent of thirty
minutes with a minimum surface temperature of 220 F. Materials molded at 220 F or
greater need not be post-cured.

Inspection Standards
4.1
Measurements Procedure
A surface anomaly on the primed surface shall be called a defect when the anomaly on the
surface to be viewed is visible under the following criteria:
4.1.1
The surface shall be initially viewed at a distance of 24 - 36" (arms length). The reviewer
shall evaluate the surface while standing in front of the part or above the part.

4.1.2
The inspection is performed in an area that has 100 150 foot-candles of cool-white
fluorescent lighting.
4.1.3
The inspection criteria specified in Table I shall be applied to make defect assessments.
4.1.4
Zone definitions and locations (refer to 4.2) are specified on the component drawing(s).
4.2
Zones
The following zone locations are currently being used on Peterbilt drawings.
4.2.1
>
4.2.1.1
Exterior body panels that are clearly visible when sitting in the driver's seat or when
lying in the sleeper berth.
4.2.1.2
All exterior body panels and parts that are clearly visible when standing on the ground
within three feet of the vehicle, including the cab, the sleeper, and the hood; both the
right- and left-hand sides from a latitudinal datum line located at the top of the cab
door to the ground.
4.2.1.3
4.2.1.4
The side fairings and the front bumpers (not including support braces)
4.2.2
>
4.2.2.1
The panels and parts of the cab, the sleeper, and the hood that are located on either the
right- or left-hand side from a latitudinal datum line located at the top of the cab door
and above. (The side panels of the roof are considered Zone B locations.)
4.2.2.2
4.2.2.3
The top of the hood for defects located on the hood that are not clearly visible from
driver seat. (Defects that are visible from driver's seat are Zone A.)
4.2.2.4
The aerodynamic devices mounted on top of either the cab roof or the sleeper roof
when the devices can be seen when standing on the ground within three meters of the
vehicle.

4.2.2.5
The cab and sleeper door frame areas that are visible only when entering or exiting the
vehicle. These areas are not visible with the doors closed.
4.2.2.6
The top of the cab roof and the top of the sleeper roof. These areas are not visible from
ground.
4.2.3
4.2.3.1

4.2.3.2
The back and the underside of fairings, hoods, fenders, and bumpers.
>
4.2.3.3
The fender ends (which are covered by the mounting brackets) and the inboard edge of
the fender (covered by the side skin).
4.3
Inspection Criteria
The parts received shall be evaluated according to the inspection criteria specified in Table I.

Description
Paint repair applied by brush instead of spray
The removal, usually in small fragments, of the
coating as a result of impact
The oxidative decomposition of a surface in contact
with its environment and/or chemical.
Break extending through the surface
The formation of surface cracks, often as a fine
network, that do not penetrate to the underlying
substrate.
Separation of material layers.
Depression or indentation in the surface.
A spot where a drop of paint has dried on the surface
Sprayed paint that loses so much solvent in the air
that it becomes too dry to flow over the surface
(starved-out area), Has a rough texture and might
appear thin.
Film separation over a small area on the surface.
Particles trapped in a coating, which show on the
surface.
Reflected images from flat surfaces appear distorted.
A moderate deformation or buckling of the sheet
material
Coated surface resembles the skin of an orange.
Excess paint on the coated surface that shows itself as
a hump or ripple.
Loss of coating due to poor adhesion
Mark or cut in the surface that penetrates to or
exposes the substrate. The substrate might be or might
not be damaged.
Previously painted surfaces that are repaired and not
feathered or blended properly creating distinct
outlines
