Here is an example of a detail paint measurement using one of the forum member's one-month (brand new) toyota estima hybrid. What can we expect from our factory paint system? Is it as thick as what you think it is? What does the reading tell us? 1. The reading provide us vital information of how thick is the original factory paint system is. Knowing the overall thickness of the vehicle's paint system allows one to provide better advise and owner can make better car care decision to prevent clear coat failure. 2. The figure measured (above pic) is in microns. To provide a better understanding, a 80g photocopying paper is 25.4 micron in thickness. Therefore, a reading of 50 micron will have a thickness of two pieces of paper put together. That is not alot of paint to play around. When we look directly at the surface, our eye tells us that the surface is levelled. When we touch the surface, the feeling is levelled. But the paint is far from levelled. Using the data measured, we put into graph form and present in cross-section view. You can see for yourself that the paint thickness is up and down, this differences in thickness causes an effect known as orange peel when one look closely into your surface. Here is a picture that shows a very bad orange peel. More than often, it is not as bad as the picture above on factory paint system. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
