Automotive Paints Coatings
A professional automotive paint finish can provide the perfect final touch to a new or repaired car. Many motorists, however, overlook how the latest industry materials can also provide lasting vehicle protection
Primers
Primers create a barrier between the bare metal on auto body panels and the final finished paintwork. In addition to preventing corrosion problems, a primer also helps to promote adhesion so that paint will stick to surface of a vehicle more effectively.
Paints
Paint is applied directly over primer to provide a base color on a vehicle. Today, the automotive industry favors water-based products over two-pack acrylics because of the low polyisocyanate content, which makes it safer to use. Water-based color dries to a dull, flat finish and will not act as final covering, whereas acrylic systems dry to provide a shiny, hard protective finish.
Clear Coats
Clear coats are applied over the top of water-based colors to provide a transparent and durable finish. As well as producing the final shine to a paint job, clear coats also dry to create a protective seal that isolates the base color from any risk of damage.
