Top coat (clear): A transparent coating which protects the lower layers of paint.
Some clear coats enhance the appearance through improved color depth or
gloss.
Top coat (base): Paint which gives the vehicle body its color.
Intermediate coat: Enhances the top coat finish and durability.
Primer: Enhances the rust resistance of steel parts of the vehicle body. Primer is
also applied to the inner side of vehicle body and structural components.
Basic knowledge about matte clear coat
The body of a vehicle is painted with layers of several different coatings to
enhance its durability and appearance. The top layer is called a clear coat.
Unlike a normal clear coat, which enhances the glossy appearance of the base
paint, matte clear coat gives the base paint a non-glossy finish with a unique
texture.
In order to ensure the longevity of the matte clear coat and its texture, special
care must be taken when cleaning and storing the vehicle.
