What is the Difference Between 1K and 2K Automotive Paint?

1 Answers
Duarte
07/30/25 9:31am
1K and 2K automotive paints differ as follows: 1. 1K: 1K refers to single-component color bases that rely on solvent evaporation to cure and form a film. In automotive repair paint series, there are 1K solid color bases, 1K pearl/metallic bases, and 1K primer surfacers (such as Su Grey). These require good coating adhesion, weather resistance, smoothness, uniform and clear metallic or pearl arrangement, and excellent gloss and line reflection when coated with matching clear paint. 2. 2K Color Bases: 2K refers to two-component color bases, consisting of Part A (hardener) and Part B (resin), which must be mixed in a specific ratio to undergo a chemical reaction for curing, film formation, and drying. In automotive repair paint series, there are 2K solid color bases, 2K clear coats, and 2K epoxy primers. These require good fullness and gloss, firm paint film, and excellent weather resistance.

How to Solve the Engine Malfunction Indicator Light in Eado?

If the engine malfunction indicator light in your Eado is on, you can follow these steps to address the issue: First, check whether the engine is running normally and if there are any issues such as shaking or emitting black smoke. If these symptoms are present, avoid restarting the engine. Specifically, if the red light is on, do not restart the engine under any circumstances. If the engine can be started, turn it off and wait for 5-10 minutes. Then, without pressing the brake, press the start button once or turn the key halfway to the 'on' position without depressing the clutch. The car will perform a self-check after powering on. Wait for 5-10 seconds and observe whether the malfunction indicator light on the dashboard turns off. If the light remains on, visit a service center as soon as possible to diagnose the issue. The service center can use a portable diagnostic tool to read the fault code, identify the problem, and perform targeted repairs. The engine malfunction indicator light resembles a water tap icon and comes in two colors: yellow and red. A yellow light indicates a warning, while a red light means prohibition. When the yellow light is on, it means some system parameters may be outside the set range, and the car can still be driven, but certain functions may be limited. When the red light is on, the car must be stopped immediately, the engine turned off, and further driving prohibited until the fault is checked. Common causes for the engine malfunction indicator light to turn on include: sensor failure, oil quality issues, poor mixture combustion, turbocharging problems, intake issues, exhaust problems, or anti-theft system malfunctions.
