Is the pearl white paint applied at a 4S store the original factory paint?
1 Answers
4S stores do not use the original factory paint for pearl white applications. Circumstances requiring low-temperature paint: Automobile production lines utilize high-temperature paint baking rooms, typically operating between 170~190°C. However, during repainting repairs, since the vehicle already contains many flammable components, it's impossible to employ the same high-temperature process. Therefore, low-temperature paint is used instead, making the two types distinct. High-temperature paint overview: Original factory automotive paint is baked paint, also known as "high-temperature paint." This involves an extremely complex manufacturing process that can only be implemented on bare vehicle bodies. The treatment includes multiple layers such as body filler, epoxy primer, surfacer primer, color coat, and clear coat. Some premium brand paints undergo even more sophisticated processes to achieve optimal results, requiring treatment temperatures exceeding 200°C.
