1. Lightly sand the affected area using 400-600 grit sandpaper.
2. Prepare the cracked surface by spraying an alcohol/water mixture on a microfiber cloth and using it to clean the surface.
3. Create typical body filler by mixing resin and hardener following manufacturer specifications. Mix enough to last 2 minutes.
4. Using a plastic blade, apply thin layers to fill the void. Use a front, back, and side to side motion. Make sure the material is bordered on all sides.
5. Allow the body filler to dry for a minimum of 15 minutes or as specified by manufacturer.
6. Use 3M™ Ultra Fine Finishing Pad or equivalent to sand. This will level the body filler down with the SMC substrate. The 3M™ Ultra Fine Finishing Pad or equivalent will finesse over the sanding marks from Step 1.
7. Spot paint the under hood affected area that was repaired. Mix and apply base coat and clear coat following the Ford approved paint system technical information.
