More than anything else, the paint on your car, cargo van, boat, RV, bob tail truck, tractor trailer semi is responsible for the overall image. A good paint job attracts attention to your unit, as well as provides protection
from the elements ( fall out, tree sap, cross contamination, salt water, over spray, transfer paint, rust and bird droppings. Before you begin any
restoration, determine if your vehicle's existing paint can be restored, or if the
vehicle needs to be repainted.
Why you can not remove scratches from your vehicle without repainting. You have 4 layers that the scratch can go into, the clear coat being the first, second is the color layer, third is the
primer, and fourth is the steel.
What is a Undercoat ? etching primer, primer surface, epoxy primer,
sealer, pretty much any primer or adhesion promoter. Your undercoat is
what goes on top of bare metal or over the properly prepped
previous paint, bodywork,etc and it gives you a uniform coat that is
a uniform color to apply your color on top of.
What is a Mid Coat: base coat, pearl coat, candy coat, metal flake
coat,etc... Your mid coat is going to be what ever goes on top of your
primer and under your clear coat
What is a Top Coat: The topcoat will be your clear coat on a base/clear job, or when you are
doing a single stage paint job since there is no clear coat, your color
is considered your topcoat instead of being a mid coat. The clear is what
gives your paint job its protection, whether it be uv protection,
chemical resistance, or even protection from the weather, and its also
what makes your paint shine and have that wet look.
