Is There a Big Difference Between Repainted and Original Paint on White Cars?
1 Answers
The difference between repainted and original paint on white cars is not significant, but over time, some color variation may occur. Here are the specific differences: 1. Number of Layers: The main difference between repainted and original factory paint is that repainted areas lack the electrophoretic layer, only applying the color coat and clear coat. On the production line, car paint is applied in four layers: electrophoretic layer, primer coat, color coat, and clear coat. The electrophoretic layer is the base layer, directly adhering to the metal body, serving as corrosion protection. 2. Application Process: During production, car bodies are painted using robotic arms, ensuring even application, followed by baking at around 200 degrees Celsius. At this stage, the car is just a frame, without the engine, interior, or other components installed, allowing for high-temperature baking. After the car leaves the factory, repainting cannot use high temperatures as the interior and other components cannot withstand it.
