Metallic paint Metallic paint is made by adding tiny metal particles to the paint. After application, it will have a metallic texture, so we call this kind of paint metallic paint. Many people may not understand it, so is metallic paint good? What are its advantages and disadvantages? I believe many people want to know.

As a high-grade architectural coating, many friends who are decorating must have heard of it. Applying metallic paint on buildings can enhance the beauty of the buildings.
1. High hardness
Because metallic paint is made of copper powder, aluminum powder and other materials, it increases the hardness of the paint, that is, the hardness of metallic paint is higher.
2. Durable
Metallic paint contains metal powder, ensuring hardness and better protection against scratches, scrapes and friction. Therefore, it is more durable.
3. Prominent metallic luster
Because the composition of metallic paint contains metal components, its metallic luster is more prominent. When applied to buildings, it not only makes the surface of the coated building look more sparkling and dynamic, but also produces different visual effects at different angles due to different light refraction angles, making it more three-dimensional, thereby enhancing the beauty of the building and giving it a noble and elegant temperament.
Metallic paint, also known as metallic glitter paint, contains fine metal powder (such as aluminum powder, copper powder, etc.) in its paint base. When light hits the metal powder, it reflects through the air film. Therefore, it looks like the metal is glowing. This metallic glitter paint gives people a pleasant, light, and novel feeling. By changing the shape and size of the metal powder, the glossiness of the metallic glitter paint film can be controlled. A layer of clear varnish is usually added to the outside of the metallic paint for protection.
Metallic paint Advantages:
Metallic paint adds tiny metal particles to the paint. After application, it gives a metallic luster, which is very visually appealing. At the same time, metallic paint can increase the hardness of the paint film, making the car surface less prone to scratches, and it also has a certain UV protection effect, which can effectively slow down paint fading. Therefore, metallic paint has the advantages of avoiding scratches, peeling, and fading.
Metallic paint Although the gloss is excellent, and the surface hardness is excellent. However, its price is relatively high, and it needs to be used with other materials to achieve the ideal effect. To some extent, the cost of metallic paint is higher than that of non-metallic paint, because some metal powder is added, so the production cost is relatively higher. However, if we consider the overall spraying area of the vehicle, the overall cost difference between the two is not large, and the metallic paint is sprayed thinner.
These are the advantages and disadvantages of metallic paint. I believe you will understand it better after reading it.
