Can a Car That Has Been Repainted Still Be Wrapped with Film?
1 Answers
A car that has been repainted can indeed be wrapped with film, but removing the film may damage the paint surface. If the repainting was done by a professional institution, the paint surface will not be damaged when the film is removed. However, if the repair was done by an unprofessional institution, the paint surface may be damaged. The car's body paint consists of four layers, from the inside out: the electrocoat layer, the primer layer, the base coat layer, and the clear coat layer. The electrocoat layer is used for rust prevention. After the entire car body is assembled, robots immerse the body into an electrocoating bath, forming an electrocoat layer on the surface. After the electrocoat layer is formed, robots apply the primer layer, which also serves to prevent rust and enhances adhesion to the next layer of paint. Above the primer layer is the base coat layer, which primarily provides the car's aesthetic appearance. The various colors we see on car bodies are all presented by the base coat layer. The outermost layer is the clear coat layer, which protects the base coat and enhances the glossiness of the car's paint. Most minor scratches typically occur on the clear coat layer, making it highly susceptible to damage. Scratches on the clear coat can be removed through polishing, but frequent polishing is not recommended as it can reduce the thickness of the clear coat.
