2. Automotive paint - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Automotive_paint

   The base coat is applied after the primer coat. This coat contains the visual properties of color and effects, and is usually the one referred to as the paint. Base coat used in automotive applications is commonly divided into three categories: solid, metallic, and pearlescent pigments. Solid paints have no sparkle effects except the color ...

3. Epoxy - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epoxy

   Epoxy coatings are also widely used as primers to improve the adhesion of automotive and marine paints especially on metal surfaces where corrosion (rusting) resistance is important. Metal cans and containers are often coated with epoxy to prevent rusting, especially for foods like tomatoes that are acidic .

4. Primer (paint) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Primer_(paint)

   Primer reduces the number of paint coats needed for good coverage and even color. A thin layer of paint may still be permeable to water. Water can permeate into the wood and cause warping, mildew, or dry rot. Primer improves the waterproofing of the finish. [4] Primers are not used as part of a wood stain treatment because they obscure the wood ...

5. Coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coating

   These include primers, basecoats, and clearcoats, primarily applied with spray guns and electrostatically. [15] The body and underbody of automobiles receive some form of underbody coating . [ 16 ] Such anticorrosion coatings may use graphene in combination with water-based epoxies .

6. Rustproofing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rustproofing

   Termed e-coat, "electrocoat automotive primers are applied by totally submerging the assembled car body in a large tank that contains the waterborne e-coat, and the coating is applied through cathodic electrodeposition. This assures nearly 100% coverage of all metal surfaces by the primer.

7. Anti-scratch coating - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anti-scratch_coating

   Automotive anti-scratch coatings are becoming stronger (from 10 newtons to 15 newtons of protection) to counter scratch resistance lost due to the industry shift from steel to lightweight, but low-scratch resistant plastics and aluminium. Currently, scratch-formation is decreased with a primer and clear coat.

8. Anodizing - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anodizing

   Anodizing increases resistance to corrosion and wear, and provides better adhesion for paint primers and glues than bare metal does. Anodic films can also be used for several cosmetic effects, either with thick porous coatings that can absorb dyes or with thin transparent coatings that add reflected light wave interference effects.

9. Varnish - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Varnish

   This is also in part due to polyurethane's lesser penetration into the wood. Various priming techniques are employed to overcome this problem, including the use of certain oil varnishes, specified "dewaxed" shellac, clear penetrating epoxy sealer, or "oil-modified" polyurethane designed for the purpose. Polyurethane varnish may also lack the ...
