GMW15777 |
Material Description. This standard describes
the surface appearance and quality requirements for painted vehicle
exterior, add-on parts and primed parts. The requirements are
described in terms of appearance attributes and surface blemishes
for each zone within a part. The purpose of these requirements is
to ensure that the level of final finish on GM vehicles meets or
exceeds the level expected by our customers. This standard applies
to primed and/or finished parts produced by suppliers and those
top-coated in GM assembly plants and includes requirements for
paint suppliers.
Symbols. Not applicable.
Typical Applications. Painted car bodies,
exterior parts painted by or supplied to GM and primed exterior
parts supplied to GM.
Remarks. Implementation of this standard is
targeted to apply to all new GM vehicle programs with Initial
Design Release (IDR) dates after 6/1/2011.
Current programs will still be required to meet the requirements
of the February 2009 version of GMW15777 and/or SOR documents
referenced at the time suppliers were awarded contracts.
Individual vehicle program teams may move to implement this
updated specification on current programs, but will consult with
Assembly Plant, Supplier Quality, Suppliers, Purchasing and others
as required to assess cost and other ramifications.
