Paint: Description and Operation
Basecoat/Clearcoat Finish - Description
BASECOAT/CLEARCOAT FINISH
DESCRIPTION
The original equipment finish is a multi step process that involves cleaning, applying electro deposition (E-coat), antichip 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 clearcoat 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.
