Can You Learn Car Paint Mixing by Yourself?
1 Answers
Car paint mixing can be self-taught, but it is better to learn at a professional place. There are generally four basic formulas for car paint mixing: film-forming substances (resin), pigments (including extender pigments), solvents, and additives. Below is more information about car paint mixing: 1. Traditional car paint coating process: The traditional car paint coating process is divided into four layers: electrophoretic primer, mid-coat paint, color paint, and clear coat. Among them, the electrophoretic layer serves an anti-corrosion function; the mid-coat paint helps the car paint achieve better coloring; the color paint is the most critical step; and the clear coat enhances the gloss and hardness of the paint surface. 2. What is car painting: Car painting refers to applying a layer of paint to the car's surface to protect it. Car painting generally uses baking paint. In car manufacturing plants, after the frame and body are welded, the next step is painting. Types include standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. The car painting process includes applying putty, sanding, and painting. 3. Classification of car paint: Car paint has undergone three major leaps in history: alkyd (enamel) paint in the 1920s, acrylic (enamel) paint in the 1960s, and clear coat (urethane) in the 1980s. For easier understanding, car paint can be simply divided into standard paint and clear coat (mirror finish).
