What kind of paint is the black paint on the Lynk & Co 03?
1 Answers
The black paint on the Lynk & Co 03 is metallic paint. Automotive metallic paint contains fine aluminum particles in its paint base. When light hits these aluminum particles, it is reflected back through the paint film, creating a sparkling metallic appearance. By altering the shape and size of the aluminum particles, the level of metallic sparkle in the paint can be controlled. Additionally, a clear coat is applied over the metallic paint for protection. Below are some methods for protecting automotive paint: 1. Waxing: Waxing can be done directly or after polishing. Direct waxing involves cleaning the car body and applying wax directly to the clear coat layer. Polishing waxing, on the other hand, requires using a polishing machine to buff the paint surface before applying wax, which immediately gives the car a shiny appearance. 2. Glazing: Due to the composition of the glaze, it is not resistant to acid or alkaline cleaning and can be easily damaged. The effects typically last only 1 to 3 months. Additionally, glazing can harm the paint, requiring reapplication every two to three months. 3. Crystal Coating: Crystal coating is a hard protective layer specifically designed for automotive paint, seats, interior and exterior trim, glass, tires, and other key areas. It comes in fast-drying and slow-drying types, primarily determined by its main components. 4. Film Application: Automotive film coating is a high-level protective measure that enhances the brightness of the paint while also providing resistance to acids and alkalis, high temperatures, strong waterproofing, oxidation resistance, UV protection, and other multiple effects.
