The quality of automotive paint is crucial for preventing rust on cars. Rust originates once an anode, a cathode, and an electrolyte are present. The bodywork of cars serves as the anode/cathode, water such as simple rainwater can function as the electrolyte. As soon as the automotive paint levels off or gets a scratch, the protective effect of the car paint is lost and an electrochemical process occurs, leading to corrosion. Since the car body is mostly made of different kinds of steel, different iron oxides accrue, and rust becomes visible. Once the protective layer is damaged and rust forms, its progress occurs inconspicuously.

​

Painting a car’s body The automotive paint is usually applied to the car body in several layers, each layer having a thickness of a few micro-meters. There can be more than 20 process stages (including cleaning, degreasing, drying, etc.).

​

These are the key stages of the process:

​

• Preparation: The car body is cleaned and degreased thoroughly. A phosphate coat is applied as the first layer. It serves as a corrosion protector and later on provides the necessary layer to bond the paint.

​

• This step is followed by electro-coating. Solid paint particles are deposited onto the chassis via electrophoresis.

​

• Asprayingprocess(e.g.viasprayboothsystems)is used to apply the primer. The primer serves as a levelling and protective layer.

​

• Afterwards, the base coat is sprayed onto the car body. The final finish of the base coat can be e.g. solid or metallic. While the solid one exhibits easier processability, the metallic one is more difficult to apply to the car body since solid particles need to be aligned in one direction to obtain a smooth surface.

​

• The last step is to apply the clear coat. The clear coat is used to protect the car body, which is usually made out of steel, against abrasion and UV light. Whereas most cars have a shiny, clear, reflective, and glossy appearance, a recent trend has been embraced by automotive car manufacturers – the matte finish. Matte finish is mostly applied within this process step and leads to a hazy appearance.
