Paint: Description and Operation
Basecoat/Clearcoat Finish - Description
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment finish is a multi-step process that involves cleaning, applying electro de-position (E-coat), anti-chip primer, basecoat, and
clearcoat steps.
On most vehicles, a two-part paint application (basecoat/clearcoat) is used. Color paint that is applied to primer is called basecoat. The clear coat
protects the basecoat from ultraviolet light and provides a durable high-gloss finish.
CAUTION: Do not use abrasive chemicals or compounds on painted surfaces. Damage to finish can result.
Do not use harsh alkaline-based cleaning solvents on painted surfaces. Damage to finish or color can result.
