1 Scope
This standard applies to paintwork on exterior add-on parts with metallic substrate that are in the
visible area and thus must fulfill predominantly decorative and functional requirements, e.g., roof
rails, wiper arms, step, styling bar, pillar trims, chrome-plated and subsequently painted decorative
parts.

2 Description
Paintwork as per TL 52451, where necessary with additional specification of the surface protection
as per VW 13750 or for Porsche AG as per VW 96075 (Porsche standard PN 11011) (partially de‐
viating surface indicators).
Example 1: Paintwork requirements as per TL 52451
Structure surface protection Ofl-x630 (cathodic electrocoating) as per
TL 260 + powder top coat
Example 2: Paintwork as per TL 52451
Structure 1a + 3a + 3b as per table 1
Example 3: for Porsche packages
Structure Ofl-x603 (PTL 75182)) + powder top coat

3 Requirements

3.1 General requirements

Approval of first supply and changes as per VW 01155.
Avoidance of hazardous substances as per VW 91101.
The cutting burr on components must correspond at least to the manufacturing precision "medium"
as per VW 01088.
A minimum of 10 finished parts are required for a complete examination.
The supplier must enclose the information as per section A.1 and the first-sample or development-
sample test report with all parts to be tested.
All ar[eas on the part to which the following requirements do not apply must be marked in the draw‐
ing. Deviating requirements must be specified.
The coating must not be damaged during correct installation.

3.2 Appearance
The parts must have a uniform appearance over their entire surface and comply with the drawing
requirements, the color standard, as well as the visual properties as per table 2. Pores, cracks, and
other flaws that adversely affect the specified appearance are not permissible. Deviations from this
must be specified in the drawing.
Gloss level, color, and structure are documented in the first-sample or development-sample test re‐
port (incl. tested components or test plates).

2) PTL 7518 = VW 96207

 Page 3
TL 52451: 2013-11

3.3 Open-air weathering

All painted components are tested as per VW 50185 (2 years in damp heat and 2 years in dry
heat). The supplier is obligated to remove the cause for complaints occurring during this test and to
improve the paint system.

3.4 Painting process

The painting process must be coordinated between paint shop and paint manufacturer. Both par‐
ties confirm the first-sample test report, meaning that both are responsible for fulfilling the specified
requirements. Responsibilities are broken down as follows:
– The paint manufacturer provides information on the fulfillment of the requirements stipulated in
the Technical Supply Specification, processing guidelines, and support regarding the applied
paint method.
– The paint shop provides information on the substrate and pretreatment steps, checks the re‐
quirements at the earliest possible juncture, confirms that the paint manufacturer's processing
guidelines are being adhered to, and requests assistance regarding the paint method used.
The blank manufacturer must provide information regarding the base material (substrate, pretreat‐
ment, paintworks already applied) and ensure its suitability for further paintwork.

3.5 Paint structure/coat thicknesses

The coat thicknesses specified in table 1 (measurement as per DIN EN ISO 1463) only apply if ad‐
ditional coats are used for the requirement as per VW 13750 or if there is no reference to a surface
as per VW 13750. The specified coat materials must be adhered to in any event.
The total paint coat thickness must not exceed 110 μm in a pure liquid paint structure.
In a structure containing powder coating, the total paint coat thickness must not exceed 150 μm3).
Repainting is only possible if the same color is used. The total paint coat thickness in the event of
repainting is limited to a maximum of 160 µm for the pure liquid paint structure and 200 µm for the
powder paint structure. The requirements of TL 52451 must also be fulfilled by means of a reliable
process during repainting.
The paint structure must comprise either:
– a primer coat (1) and a single-layer top coat (2) as per table 1 or
– a primer coat (1) and a double-layer top coat (3) as per table 1.
In exceptional cases (e.g., powder top coat on pretreated aluminum substrates), a top coat struc‐
ture only [as per table 1 (1) or (2)] can also be chosen; however, this must be expressly stipulated
in the drawing.

3) The following applies to Porsche AG: 230 µm for Mg substrates

3.6 Technological requirements

See table 2.

3.6.1 Conditioning of individual components

The parts must be one week old for the technological tests, or they must be aged before the tests
for 24 h at +60 °C.
Aging and conditioning: 24 h in ISO 554 standard climate – 23 °C/50% rel. humidity. Deviations
from this must be noted in the test report.
