Understanding Automotive Paint Surface
Automotive paint surface is largely divided into 3 layers. The first layer is the metal sheet + a layer of primer. The 2nd layer is covered with actual paint, which will reflect car’s color. In the final layer, a thick layer of clear coat is applied to protect the surface.
The most important layer is the clear coat layer. Due to its natural characteristics, clear coats tend to absorb anything under specific sizes. This is why often times pollutants end up sinking into the clear coat if they are not removed for a long time.
Making the ceramic coating bond with the clear coat as firmly as it can is the main key to having the ceramic coatings last long. In order to do this we have to make the size of the molecule as small as we can, maximized the molecule density, and at the same time consider how and when the ceramic coatings will be used
