Automotive spray paint systems are specially developed coatings that provide aesthetic superiority and corrosion resistance that will enhance vehicle life span. Through a wide array of colours and effects, today's spray paint systems offer the opportunity to refresh and customise vehicles while providing the quality and durability to protect and maintain the vehicles value. A spray paint system consists of 3 main coatings, namely Primer, Based Coat and Clear Coat. Primer will be the first to be applied to smoothen out surface irregularities, improve stone chip performance and helps to protect the substrate from visible and UV light. Next, base coat (colour) will then be applied after the primer is settled down and cured. It provides colours and aesthetic effects and is capable of providing uniform appearance for many years without fading. Clear coat (lacquer) is the coating layer that forms the last interface to the environment. It carries the biggest part of the technological performance and must be able to resist environmental such as bird droppings, car wash machines, etc.
