Automotive paint is a specialized coating used to protect and enhance the appearance of vehicles. It typically consists of a base coat, which provides color, and a clear coat that adds shine and protects against environmental damage. The paint is designed to withstand harsh conditions, including UV rays, rain, and road debris. The application of automotive paint involves several steps, including surface preparation, priming, and spraying. Modern techniques, such as powder coating and water-based paints, are often used to improve durability and reduce environmental impact. Proper application ensures a smooth finish and long-lasting protection for the vehicle's surface.
