What is the purpose of applying a clear coat?
Applying lacquer or clear coat on a car has two main functions:
Aesthetic function
Depending on the type of clear coat you use, you can achieve a different type of finish paint, based on the aesthetics you want to give the surface: from a glossy finish, to a more satin or even matte finish.
In addition, because of its composition and its transparent nature, clear coats serve as a visual effect enhancer for some colours: metallic colours, pearl colours, three-coated colours, etc.
Protective function
A clear coat, as the topcoat to be applied, must provide hardness and resistance to the outside. It must also be insulating and protective of the coloured coat, sealing the surface correctly against external aggression.
Protection against mechanical agents such as automatic car wash machines, chemical products such as fuels, oils or detergents, or atmospheric agents such as UV radiation, are essential factors in extending the durability of the paint coat over time.
