Paint: Description and Operation

BASECOAT / CLEARCOAT FINISH 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.
