What is the difference between metallic paint and pearl paint?

There are various brands of cars on the road, and there are also many differences in the color of the car, the variety of paint, and the way of care and maintenance. Their characteristics also

make their maintenance precautions different. Meet two different car paints today:

1. Metallic Paint:

Metallic paint is mixed with metal powder, which not only makes the surface of the painted sheet parts look more attractive, but also changes the color and even the outline of the car at

different angles due to the refraction of light. It makes the appearance of the vehicle look richer and more interesting, which is one of the reasons why metallic paint is becoming more and

more common. The common metal particles in life are the addition of fine aluminum powder. Aluminum powder can make the paint surface appear shiny. Under the sunlight, the appearance

of the car sound is very layered. It is characterized by rich color, very layered, strong adhesion, high hardness, not easy to be scratched, and strong anti-oxidation and anti-corrosion ability.

2. Pearl Paint:

Pearl paint is to add pearl powder to white metallic paint instead of metallic powder. As a unique white pearl powder, it is more complicated than other paints in terms of craftsmanship, and

the price will naturally be higher. The price of the car is higher than that of other colors. And to maintain its posture, the angle towards the light, the process is complicated. It is characterized

by the best reflectivity, the richest color, the most ingredients, and the strongest hardness and antioxidant capacity. However, once scratches occur, repairs are troublesome, expensive, and

prone to chromatic aberration.

3. Pearl paint and metallic paint are both surface decoration paints used for automobile painting.

 The specific differences between the two are as follows:

Material difference: Metallic paint contains opaque metal flakes, while pearl paint contains mica flakes with translucent properties of different thicknesses.

Difference in chroma: The chroma (saturation, turbidity and chroma of the color) of metallic paint is not as high as that of pearl paint.

Decorative difference: Metallic paint can only reflect a single tone in the sun, while pearl paint can reflect the color of the bottom layer of the paint in the sun, and the colorful tones make the

surface of the car body more three-dimensional and deep. A nice pearl color can be seen.

Tips:

No matter what color of car paint, after a long time of use and sun exposure, there will be fading, so in order to maintain the durability of the car color, some things such as antioxidants will

be added to the paint. But good additives are also more expensive. Therefore, when choosing the color of the car, you can try to choose the color that is commonly used, so that it is more

convenient whether it is repair or maintenance. So how to maintain car paint?

Don't rush to wax when you buy a new car: the daily baking paint needs a period of adaptation, and it is not suitable for waxing during this period. If it is a new car, you can wait three

months before waxing. If it is a daily touch-up, you can wash the car after a week.

Clean up the dirt on the car in time: the maintenance of the car paint is inseparable from the frequent car washing, rain and snow, bird droppings, stains, etc. may make the car paint tarnish

and dark yellow. Therefore, daily car washing can reduce the aging phenomenon of car paint.

Find a reliable repair shop for touch-up paint: In many places, even the original factory will not use "original paint", and you should find a reliable repair shop or 4S shop for paint touch-up.
