Exposing a car to the scorching sun does affect the paint. Prolonged exposure to summer sunlight can cause the car paint to lose its original luster, making the paint surface dull and leading to issues such as fading and aging. Below is relevant information about automotive paint: 1. Definition: Paint is a chemical mixture coating that firmly covers the surface of an object, serving purposes of protection, decoration, marking, and other special uses. The authoritative book "Paint Technology" in China's coatings industry defines it as: "Paint is a material that can be applied to the surface of an object through different construction processes, forming a solid film that adheres firmly, has certain strength, and is continuous. This film is commonly referred to as a coating, also known as a paint film or a layer." 2. Composition: Paint generally consists of four parts: film-forming substances, fillers (pigments), solvents, and additives. Depending on performance requirements, the composition may vary slightly, such as clear varnish not containing pigments or fillers, and powder coatings possibly not containing solvents.
