What Causes Bubbling in Factory Automotive Paint?
1 Answers
Bubbling in factory automotive paint can be caused by: 1. Poor paint quality: This issue frequently occurs at roadside repair shops that offer extremely low prices for paint jobs, often using low-quality paint. The resulting finish quality is predictably subpar. 2. Inadequate construction conditions and processes: Paint application requires strict technical conditions. The surface must be completely moisture-free before painting; filler compounds (putty) must thoroughly dry in a controlled environment before entering the paint booth; the air supply system for spray guns must remain absolutely dry. Any moisture in these processes can lead to paint bubbling. 3. Excessive paint thickness: Careless application or unskilled technicians may apply paint too thickly, causing runs. If subsequent polishing isn't properly executed, this creates conditions for future paint bubbling.
