What Are the Process Steps for Complete Automotive Painting?
1 Answers
Automotive painting generally follows these process steps: 1. Dust removal and cleaning: First, use an air gun to blow away dust particles on the vehicle body, then use a silicone remover to clean stains, followed by blowing dust out of body gaps with the air gun, and finally use a tack cloth to remove fine dust. 2. Base coat application for solid colors: Apply 2-3 coats with 5-10 minutes between layers, adding hardener and thinner according to temperature. 3. Color coat application: Apply 2-3 coats of solid color, metallic, or pearl paint with 5-10 minutes between layers. 4. Clear coat application: Mix and apply two layers of clear coat with 5-10 minutes between layers, adding hardener and thinner as needed based on temperature. 5. Baking: Let stand for 5-10 minutes, then bake at 60°C for 30 minutes. Drying stages should be checked - if slightly sticky to finger touch, it's surface dry; if no fingerprint remains with light touch, it's semi-hard dry; if no mark remains under firm pressure, it's fully cured.
