Automotive finishing refers to the final steps in the manufacturing and repair process of vehicles, focusing on the application of paint and protective coatings. This process enhances the vehicle's appearance and protects it from environmental factors like rust, UV rays, and scratches. The finishing process typically involves several stages, including surface preparation, priming, painting, and clear coating. Each stage is crucial for achieving a durable and visually appealing finish. Techniques such as spray painting and powder coating are commonly used to ensure a smooth and even application of the coatings.
