As a means of transportation, more and more people have their own cars. With the development of society and global trade, the colors of automotive paints are becoming more and more abundant, and they are no longer just black and white, even the colors could be customized as requested. So what is the difference among car paints we usually buy? Is there a big price difference? Let’s talk about it today so that you could choose your suitable car paint.
1. Common types of car paint
At present, the main car paints in the market are divided into three types. The first one is ordinary car paint, including simple basic car paints such as red, white and black. The second is to add some aluminum powder and other metal powders to the basic car paint, which seems to have a metallic luster at a certain angle, this is called metallic car paint; The last one is pearl paint which is made by adding mica flakes and pearl powder to ordinary paint.
2. Characteristics of the three types car paints
Ordinary car paint is the kind of soft paint used on most ordinary cars. The paint surface is easier to be scratched, so when the driving speed is fast, and if something is scratched, part of it is easy to wipe off. Therefore, when washing the car, you should also be careful not to wipe it directly with a cloth. You must first remove the dust particles on the car body, otherwise the paint will be easily worn off.
Metallic car paint, as some metal powder is added into ordinary car paint, it is stronger than ordinary car paint, and of course it will be more scratch resistant than ordinary car paint. Some slight scratches are not easy to make it peel off, so it is more convenient for maintenance than ordinary car paint.
Pearl car paint is the most expensive among the three auto paints. It is mainly used more pearlescent car paint on some luxury cars, so it feels fancier and more delicate.
