Type of Car painting

The different types of car paint are:

Solid paint

Almost all cars – other than the most expensive ones – are available in a no-cost basic, solid colour. The most common options are white, red, blue or black, and chances are that is a paint colour doesn’t add to the cost of your car, then it’s a solid, non-metallic paint.

In basic form, the solid paint is a single application of the colour, followed by a lacquer coat (called a clear coat) above it to protect the paint from chips, scratches and the weather.

Solid colours work brilliantly for a completely even single-shade finish. They’re inexpensive too and come with several maintenance benefits. Minor stone chips can be repaired with a touch-up pen of the same colour, available for not a great deal of money from your local large motoring store.

Metallic

Metallic paints are effectively the same as solid paints, only with a small quantity of powdered metal added. The size and type of metal added varies depending on manufacturer choices, but it’s commonly about 1 part in 50 of aluminium powder.


The metal particles in the paint pick up and reflect more incident light that the basic paint colours, giving your car a much more appealing shine than with solid colours – so long as you keep it clean! It will also hide very minor damage from a distance much more effectively than solid paint.

  Pearlescent

Pearlescent paints replace the metal particles with ceramic crystals (often called “mica”) that don’t just reflect light but refract it too, splitting it into different colours by allowing some light in and slowing it down as it passes through. This gives the paint not just a sparkle, but a deep colour that can vary depending on how you look at it, making for interesting effects where the car’s bodywork creases or changes direction. In direct sunlight, pearlescent paint knocks spots off metallic finishes.

 matte finishes

It’s not common to see matte finishes, but some niche vehicles are available in a variety of matte colours, usually grey or black. Sometimes this is a more reflective satin or silk finish than true matte, but the principles are roughly the same.

There are many companies who give valueable services for cars. One of best car painting in Pune services are given by finora
