At What Temperature Does Weather Affect Car Paint?

[VanSienna]

Temperature above 40 degrees Celsius can affect car paint. Types of Car Paint: Standard Paint: Standard paint is the most common type of automotive paint, characterized by low cost and simple application process. However, it has relatively poor gloss and surface hardness, making it particularly prone to scratches. Therefore, it is rarely used in passenger cars nowadays, and when it is used, it is typically found in lower-end models. It is most commonly used in trucks and buses. Metallic Paint: Metallic paint is created by adding aluminum powder to standard paint, resulting in a shiny appearance. The main feature of metallic paint is not just its high brightness, but also its significantly higher hardness compared to standard paint. It is resistant to scratches from ordinary objects, which is why it is widely used in cars, especially high-end models. Pearlescent Paint: Pearlescent paint uses mica instead of aluminum particles. The paint base contains mica pigments coated with titanium dioxide and iron oxide. When light hits the mica particles, it first takes on the color of titanium dioxide and iron oxide, then undergoes complex refraction and interference within the mica particles.
