What is the thickness of car paint?

[ColtonAnn]

Generally, the thickness of car paint ranges between 120 to 180 microns, with a Mohs hardness between 0.4 and 0.6. Here is a detailed explanation: 1. According to relevant regulations, the minimum paint thickness for vehicles priced below 50,000 RMB should not be less than 90um, while for vehicles priced above 50,000 RMB, the minimum should not be less than 120um. 2. Car paint refers to the coating applied to the vehicle body, which consists of four layers: the outermost is the clear coat, followed by the base coat, then the primer, and finally the electrophoretic coating. 3. Applying paint to the car body forms a protective layer, making the surface less susceptible to corrosion, extending the vehicle's lifespan, and enhancing its aesthetic appeal. 4. Typically, manufacturers preset various body colors before the car leaves the factory, determined by the paint applied to the body. Some car owners may not prefer the original color of their purchased vehicle and can legally modify the body color after obtaining approval.
