Paint for Cars

You want to know more?

Paint for cars of high quality and finish. We have the best brands in the market. Whether you're a small hobbyist, or you have a workshop painted the first thing that you must keep in mind is that every car has up to three layers of paint car differentiated with different functions each one of them.

1-Primer or Surfacer: Paint the Wash First. It is a type of paint for cars that is used to improve adhesion on surfaces non-ferrous, is also known as anticorrosion paint, filler or primer. What we want to put this type of paint is to help prevent the appearance of rust on the car and give a dull surface that can help in the detection of possible defects or imperfections in the surface of the car that allow as well also be repaired more easily. This layer tends to have a matte grey or yellow-white serves to help the color to be applied to cover faster and appear less distorted.

You can also find the known as entintables, which help the color paint to cover quickly and that the tone is not distorted, all of this is thanks to an ink that you can add to get a similar tone.

2-car Paint color, that is to say the paint color used for coloring the car with the color required by the customer. Normally paintings are solid, with a finish of semi-shine and shine. In the event that you opt for a paint-grained and/or metallic we are facing a termination of the dull paint.

With regard to the technology of the paint car color, one of them shall be made with solvent-based and the other water-based. In the case of paints with solvent are made with petroleum derivatives such as organic solvents, i.e., methanol, ethanol, acetone, chloroform or xylene.

However, they present a clear advantage and is the fast drying, but are prohibited in the present day, being the base water the most commonly used in the workshops, as they are less harmful to the environment. Yes, its drying is very slow, so in the workshops, we used the cabins for drying. In humid areas with low temperatures are used accelerants drying.

3-Varnish or lacquer car: it is a protective paint layer that is capable of providing a glossy finish and protect the paint against adverse weather conditions such as may be caused by situations of rain, snow, etc., Is the last layer applied, which gives the finish to the painting process.

Car paint that is intended for the repair

In the case of the car paint that are designed to fix certain problems with the car we also found various types, in particular, we can see up to three:

Acrylic paint: the paint is fast drying, easy handling, finish semi-shine and shine. This type of paint is achieved by diluting with solvent acrylic and is used as a catalyst for drying. If you want to apply this paint is to take into account that the drying time can take between 30 minutes and 1 hour to proceed to his manipulation, and if we want that it is dry completely you can take up to 1 day.

Paint Polyurethane: this paint dries with the use of a catalyst, there is mixing in the proportion 4:1 3:1 2:1, depending on the recommended by the manufacturer. To obtain it will have to dilute it in a lesser proportion than the acrylic and thus leave a larger body in the application and to grant a gloss or matte finish depending on the type of paint. The drying varíará depending on the type of catalyst. To be able to manipulate it will have to wait between 1 and 2 hours, and the drying time varies from one to two days so you have to be present at all times these two times.

Paint type polyester: this type of painting is also known as a paint base and is derived from the polyurethane. It is a type of paint that is easy to handle thanks to a quick-drying, and which is capable of providing a matte finish. This type of painting requires the use of varnish to give a glossy finish and its drying time is minimal, only 10 to 30 minutes and 12 hours if we want to wait for the process of final drying.

Types of paint for cars

Keep in mind that if we are looking for a type of paint car to look for to repair small blemishes, the paint used in the repair of automobiles, the paint is water-based and acrylic lacquers of high solid contents.

In contrast, if we seek a solution for apply in the repair of industrial vehicles, it is more widespread, the use of paint of polyurethane, because they offer a much higher resistance due to this type of paintings and the robust finish that leave.

In the event that you have to do this process with a motorbike you should know that you use the same techniques in the vehicles even though the colorimetrías tend to be more successful.

1-Systems tinted: in addition to the types of paint most recommended also we find various systems upon which this may apply and there are different.

2-System single: if we paint a car on a monolayer we have to say that the paint monolayer, once mixed with its corresponding catalyst, since it has all the qualities of protection and final appearance. And the best thing is to use this type of paint when we want to have a finish on the car is not metallic (solid), as we will provide brightness directly and do not have to apply varnish on top. Among the advantages of this system is the speed of implementation, since there is no varnish and high hardness, while among the disadvantages we find a lower variety of colors in metallic finish monolayer.

3-bilayer System: as its own name indicates, the systems bilayer are composed by two products. The first of them corresponds with the paint layer called base color which gives the visual effects and color, among such effects would be the metallic look that they possess those colors that contain particles of aluminium or the aspect proling in those that contain mica. This base does not possess qualities of protection and gloss finish.

With regard to the second layer i.e. that corresponds with the varnish or lacquer. They are in charge of giving protection and gloss finish. It is a type of finish that is used on the majority of cars and in those that exhibit metallic colours.

Among the advantages that we have is the standard process, fast and cost-effective. All of the available colors, including solid colors, pearl or special effects, and there is no problem when using this finish bilayer.

4-System three: system of a tri-coat finish is based on the application of a base layer, or background, which is a base color, a layer of effect that is another base color and that is usually pearly, translucent, to provide a depth effect due to the light that passes through it and is reflected to the background layer.

Finally, in systems of this type of tinting is always provides a layer of transparent varnish, which, like in finish bilayer, will provide shine, protection and hardness to the paint.
