What is metallic paint? What are the advantages of metallic paint?

　　Many people don't know Metallic paint What it is, thinking it's a type of decorative paint. But actually, metallic paint is a type of automotive paint. So what are the advantages of metallic paint? Let me tell you about the advantages of metallic paint below.

　　Metallic paint, commonly known as silver powder paint, is a relatively popular automotive paint in recent years. The surface of metallic paint looks like metal glowing. This metallic glitter paint gives people a pleasant, light, and novel painting color feeling, so it is now very common. By changing the shape and size of the aluminum particles, the glossiness of the metallic glitter paint film can be controlled. Because metal powder is unstable in water and air, it often undergoes chemical reactions and deteriorates, so a layer of clear paint is added to the outside of the metallic paint for protection.

　　One, Metallic paint Advantages

　　1. Hard and wear-resistant: Metallic paint has higher hardness than ordinary paint, which means it is more wear-resistant. For car owners who don't have a garage, metallic paint can provide better protection for their car during daily parking.

　　2. Various colors: After application, metallic paint is very crystal clear, and various colors create different visual effects, with full and flawless gloss.

　　3. Long lifespan: Metallic paint is made of fluorocarbon resin and other pigment additives, and has very good fullness, which can improve the self-cleaning ability and service life of the coating.

　　4. UV resistant: Metallic paint has strong adhesion and UV resistance, and can effectively protect the car body.

　　Of course, because metallic paint is added with metallic aluminum powder particles on the basis of ordinary paint, and because a layer of transparent topcoat is often sprayed after spraying metallic paint, making the metallic paint bright and pleasing to the eye. This directly leads to the price of metallic paint being higher than that of ordinary paint. Metallic paints are generally available in water-based and solvent-based types. Although water-based paints are more environmentally friendly, metal powders are unstable in water and air, and often undergo chemical reactions and deterioration. Therefore, their surface needs special treatment, resulting in the high price of metal powders used in water-based paints, and their use is limited. Currently, metallic paints are mainly solvent-based. According to different paint base resins, solvent-based metallic paints include acrylic, fluorocarbon, etc.

　　Two, Metallic paint Differences from ordinary paint

　　First of all, the colors shown by metallic paint are not the original true colors. White will become pearl white, black will become shiny "charcoal black", red will become so-called "wine red", and yellow will become sparkling "golden yellow".

　　Secondly, metallic paint is mixed with metal powder in the paint, which not only makes the surface of the painted sheet metal look more sparkling, but also, due to the refraction of light at different angles, the car color and even the outline will change. This makes the overall appearance of the car look richer and more interesting. A layer of clear paint is added to the outside of the metallic paint for protection.
