There are many types of paint used in home decoration nowadays, and the performance of materials used in different locations also varies. Therefore, it is necessary to understand the selection process in advance, so Metallic paint What are the differences between it and ordinary paint? Let's take a look!

Metallic paint is paint with metal powder added, often used in automotive painting. Because metal powder is added, after it is applied to the surface of the car body, the car looks golden. It feels very novel and stylish. This glittering light can enhance the grade of automobiles or related buildings. It can fully demonstrate the noble and luxurious temperament. Therefore, metallic paint is very popular.
What is the difference between metallic paint and non-metallic paint?
1. Spraying technology
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, from the perspective of the entire vehicle spraying area, the overall cost difference between the two is not large, and metallic paint is thinner.
2. Abrasion resistance
Metallic paint Both metallic and non-metallic paints belong to color paints. Car paint consists of at least three layers (some cars have more than three layers). Color paint is only sandwiched between the primer and the clear coat, and does not have the right to decide whether to wear it. As for the hardness, it is the same, depending on the overall spraying quality. However, many people's ideal effect is that the car paint will not fall off after wiping, but it is not easy to appear in reality.
3. Different degrees of fading
Fading is largely related to the car owner's maintenance of the car paint. If you are not careful, the gold plating will fade. We see that some old cars have serious fading. They must have been washed with washing powder. If car owners have used washing powder to hand-wash clothes, they should know that their hands will feel uncomfortable. This is because washing powder is an alkaline substance, which is very harmful to car paint. Cars generally have three layers of paint, and rust prevention mainly depends on the primer. The effect of the surface layers of paint is not great.
The paint surface of metallic paint is relatively hard. Because metal components are mixed in the paint, the hardness of the paint is increased, and the paint surface becomes harder. Hard paint can reflect the layering of the car body. Make the car look more three-dimensional, adding points to the overall shape.
Metallic paint Characteristics and uses:
Hard paint film is a major feature of metallic paint. Therefore, objects painted with metallic paint are not easily scratched. It also has good UV resistance. This is good. For friends who drive outdoors, cars can also prevent ultraviolet rays. In addition, this coating has strong corrosion resistance, greatly improving the service life of the coating. In addition to being used for automobiles, metallic paint is also suitable for exterior wall protection of materials such as plastics, metals, and wood.
Metallic paint can effectively protect the appearance of metal objects. In fact, any product with its unique functions can be developed for a longer time. Although it has a wide range of uses, it is more suitable for use as automotive topcoat. Because the appearance of the car needs to be improved by metallic paint.
