Q. I am searching for specifications from GM that pertain to the application of electrocoat paint (e-coat). I have been told that GM4120 and GM4391M specs cover this area, but I am unable to locate where to view, or buy a copy of these specs. Can you help?

A. For GM specifications you might want to call Evelyn Kamal. She is a technical information coordinator at NUMMI (New United Motors Inc.) in Fremont, California. NUMMI is a Toyota/General Motors partnership that manufactures Japanese/American cars. They have access to General Motors Specifications. You will be required to fill out a specification request with Spec. No., P/N, Part Name, and reason for request.

Good Luck,

A. Documents of this type are available for purchase from: Global Engineering Documents. I think I have purchased them from this company in the past.

A. You can also buy an automotive engineering specification service from www.ihs.com which is web-based. You can call up specs and print them out. This is good if you work with many specifications. If you only need one or two, then Global Engineering Documents or the other leads may be better for you.
