  There are many types of paint materials used in home decoration now, and the performance of the materials selected for different locations is also different. Therefore, you must understand clearly when choosing in the early stage, so Metallic paint What are the differences between it and ordinary paint? Let's take a look!

 

 Metallic paint

 

  Metallic paint is a paint with metal powder added, commonly used in car painting. Because metal powder is added, the car looks golden after being applied to the body surface. It makes people feel very novel and stylish. This kind of golden flash can improve the grade of cars or related buildings. It can fully show a noble and gorgeous temperament. So 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. But if you look at the overall painting area of the entire car, the overall cost difference between the two is not significant, and metallic paint is thinner.

  2. Wear resistance

   Metallic paint and non-metallic paints are both 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 varnish, and does not determine whether to wear it or not. As for the hardness, it is the same, depending on the overall spraying quality. But many people's ideal effect is that the car will not lose paint after being wiped, but it is not easy to appear in reality.

  3. Different fading easiness

  Fading is closely related to the owner's maintenance of the car paint. If you are not careful, the gold plating will fade. We see some old cars that have faded severely. They must have been washed with washing powder. If you have a car and have washed clothes by hand with washing powder, you should know that your 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 surface layers of paint have little effect.

  The paint surface of metallic paint is relatively hard. Because the paint is mixed with metal components, 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 and add points to the overall shape.

   Metallic paint Characteristics and uses:

  The hard paint film is a major feature of metallic paint. Therefore, objects coated with metallic paint are not easily scratched. It also has good UV resistance. This is very good. For those friends who drive outdoors, the car can also prevent ultraviolet rays. In addition, this coating has strong corrosion resistance, which greatly improves the service life of the coating. In addition to being used in automobiles, metallic paint is also suitable for the exterior wall protection of materials such as plastics, metals, and wood.

  Metallic paint can well protect the appearance of metal objects. In fact, any product with its unique function can be developed for a longer time. Although it is widely used, it is more suitable for car topcoats. Because the appearance of the car needs metallic paint to improve.
