Why Don't Japanese Cars Solve the Issue of Thin Paint?
1 Answers
Japanese cars have thin paint but do not address this issue primarily due to advancements in material technology. Japanese automakers have replaced some traditional painting processes with more advanced techniques, resulting in relatively thinner paint. This approach is similar to the lightweight modifications in vehicles, where a significant amount of aluminum alloy replaces cast iron materials through technological upgrades. This not only prevents rust but also significantly reduces the overall weight of the car, and the same principle applies to the thin paint on Japanese cars. Additional Information: 1. Advantages of Automotive Paint: Excellent film fullness, high gloss, high hardness, strong adhesion, superior mechanical properties, outstanding gloss retention, weather resistance, wear resistance, and good resistance to acids, alkalis, alcohol, and gasoline. 2. Classification of Automotive Paint: Automotive paint can generally be divided into standard paint, metallic paint, and pearl paint. Standard paint is the most basic type, usually in white and red, with a pure overall color. Metallic paint, based on standard paint, incorporates metal powders like aluminum and copper to give the paint a more textured appearance. Pearl paint, similar to metallic paint but more dazzling, adds mica particles to metallic paint, creating a radiant effect under sunlight.
