What is car paint? At the risk of sounding a bit cheesy, it might be the unsung hero of the auto industry. After all, just think about the multitude of purposes it has to serve:
- Maintain a lustrous finish over many years
- Repel the elements
- Protect the car’s body from rust
- Withstand decades of UV radiation
What’s more, car paint must do all of the above in an incredibly thin coating (just a few thousands of an inch!). To top it all off, if car paint isn’t applied correctly, then the time and money spent applying the coat are all for naught.
