What is the difference between pearl white paint and ordinary white paint for car surfaces?
1 Answers
The difference between pearl white and ordinary white is that pearl white paint contains fluorescent powder, which reflects bright fluorescent particles under sunlight, while ordinary white paint does not have fluorescent powder and appears pure white from inside to out, without emitting fluorescence under sunlight. Additionally, pearl white is more expensive than ordinary white. The specific differences between the two are as follows: 1. Material: Pearl paint is a type of metallic paint. Ordinary white is a solid color paint without metallic luster. In terms of long-term effects, ordinary white paint tends to yellow over time. Moreover, pearl white is more prone to color discrepancies when touched up due to the characteristics of the paint. 2. Cost: Pearl paint has higher formulation costs, mainly reflected in labor, as it requires multiple processes such as repair, filling, spraying, and polishing. Additionally, pearl paint is more difficult to spray, with strict requirements for paint thickness and uniformity. Achieving a seamless repair demands higher technical expertise. In contrast, ordinary white paint has a less complex formulation process and lower costs. It does not contain any reflective or brightening additives and relies solely on the topcoat for shine, making it a more hassle-free option.
