Car coatings: Improve the protection and looks of your vehicle

A clear protective car coating is applied to every car manufactured in the automotive industry. Manufacturers aim to protect the cars for long term use. However, this does not immediately mean that your car has reached its full potential on protection and looks. The car coating products available today can enhance the protection and looks even more. This article will inform you about the variety of car coatings and what their purposes are.

Exterior car coating can be divided in three types. Namely:

• Automotive paints
• Vehicle refinishes
• Protection coatings

Choosing and changing your car coating paint

Automotive paints are referred to the coatings applied on cars during the production processes. There are many colors to choose from when buying a vehicle and the standard colors can often be adjusted to your wishes. This can be realized due to the mixture of different pigments in the car paint. Besides that, you also need to decide on the car paint finish. Some of the finishes are;

• Solid paint; the basic paint, often available in white, black, blue & red. Often no added costs;
• Metallic car paint; a solid paint where powdered metal is added to;
• Pearlescent paint; a solid paint where instead of powdered metal, ceramic crystals are added. Also called “Mica’;
• Matt finishes; some vehicles are available in matt finishes. Usually in black or grey;
• Special paints; created by a combination of effects by layering paints on top of eachother

In addition to the car paint that defines the color and finish, each car receives a clear coating that seals the paint and provides additional protection. Many manufacturers use what is called a “two-pack” nowadays. This is a combination of paint with a hardening substance and removes the need for a separate clear coat.

Keep in mind that any other paint besides the standard solid paint is likely to add on costs.

Enhancing car protection with coatings

As mentioned before, a clear protective coat is applied on the cars during the production process. However, there are coatings available that enhance the protection even more and improve the shine of the car at the same time. A traditional wax or sealant can do the job, but you can also choose the newest sensation of the car industry! Namely, ceramic coating. 

Major advantages of Ceramic Coating

These coatings are often based on nano technology and enhance the protection and looks of your car. But, there are many more advantages when it comes to ceramic coating:

• It ensures that the original coating is protected
  

  Protect your vehicle with the use of car coating

Glass coating is also an option to protect your car. The advantages of glass coating are very similar compared to ceramic coating. However, glass coating is likely to last longer and leaves a “wet look” when applied on the exterior of your car.

Advantages of Teflon car coating

Besides these nano technology based coatings, Teflon coating is also an option for car protection. These are the advantages of Teflon coating;

• Minor scratch protection
• Protects the paint layer
• Enhances the shine

Such as, the protection of the paint layer, enhancement of the shine and protection against minor scratches. Compared to Teflon, ceramic coating will give you more benefits.
