On the way back, the more Zhang Xiaofan thought about it, the more unpleasant it became.

Halfway through, Zhang Xiaofan drove to the side of the road.

Because he almost hit someone else's car just now, the whole person is in a blurred state.

He thought a lot about it along the way.

"I used to have a rusty head"

This is Zhang Xiaofan's current evaluation of himself.

Zhang Xiaofan has always wanted to drill into the automotive topcoat industry, and has indeed made a lot of achievements, at least in the wheel topcoat, has achieved very fruitful results.

However, due to the particularity of the wheel topcoat, Zhang Xiaofan has an illusion.

This illusion led Zhang Xiaofan to think that he should be able to control these car topcoats, and the company's researchers should be able to solve some of the existing problems of car topcoats.

However, the results of the research made Zhang Xiaofan real, and he had a very angry feeling.

It is difficult to repair.

So far, there is still no solution, but today I will open another door for Zhang Xiaofan.

Matte finishes for automobiles.

It's definitely a new direction, and it's basically very little difficult for powder coatings.

In fact, it is estimated that many powder coating manufacturers in the world can make such a matte automotive topcoat.

However, products need to be sold, especially in the powder coating industry, if there is no market, powder coating companies will generally not carry out in-depth research and development in this area.

This is due to the peculiarities of the powder coating industry.

But now this is an opportunity, from Xiong Wenbin's side to get the news, although the concept car has been formed, but the car finish was originally going to use the glitter series.

But I don't know how this designer came up with a whim to use a matte finish?

According to the color card that Zhang Xiaofan saw.

Although it is said that the overall blue, black, and silver, except for silver, everything else is monochrome.

But Zhang Xiaofan is ready to do some innovation.

Be sure to add pearlescent pigment to the blue to make his whole blue look metallic.

But this metal rod must not be too strong, if it is too strong metallic, this luster will be raised.

This is definitely unacceptable for designers who want to make matte topcoats, so this amount must be controlled.

Although, they are now only proposing to Xiong Wenbin to make matte wheels.

But Xiong Wenbin actually helped Zhang Xiaofan win such a precious opportunity.

Otherwise, Xiong Wenbin will not be able to get three color cards, which should be prepared for some other powder coating companies.

For example, Su Ke's headquarters happen to be in Europe.

So Zhang Xiaofan cherishes this opportunity.

Although I don't know if Su Ke will have the same idea as Zhang Xiaofan, do some additional actions, such as adding some pearlescent pigments, so that the whole looks metallic.

However, Zhang Xiaofan is going to play a big game this time.

He will prepare a full-fledged car, moreover, a BMW, one of the most upscale series, of course, pre-owned.

The sheet metal of this car will be sprayed with all the products to be developed.

Then it arrives in Europe and allows them to see their intentions.

It's hard to feel the actual effect of any paint when it's not applied to the actual product.

Because the sample is generally not very large, this results in your paint not being sprayed on top of the actual product.

It's hard to shake people's hearts on the effect.

In particular, this is a product that is basically not available on the market at present.

Matte finishes for automobiles.

Although there are occasional modified cars that use this type of matte paint, this type of matte paint is not specifically prepared for automotive topcoats.

So the disadvantages will be many.

For example, the gloss is not low enough, for example, after the painting is completed, there are many defects, which causes the overall look to be unsatisfactory.

This time, Zhang Xiaofan is ready to gather the strength of the whole company to do this.

All other R&D was suspended.

This time, Zhang Xiaofan will provide the formula, providing basically all the technical parameters.

This time the experiment was obviously much faster.

If there is enough time, Zhang Xiaofan is also ready to make some improvements.

Because of the addition of pearlescent pigments, Zhang Xiaofan thinks that in the best case, a matte transparent coating should be added.

This will give the whole coating a little layered, but it may look a little bit on the glossy surface, about an octave.

It won't be a complete matte, but this gloss will look very prominent under the light.

This Zhang Xiaofan was a little hesitant, because he didn't know what kind of design concept the BMW designer was now.

Does he want a complete matte finish, or can he have a little bit of shine?

This will be very important, if he needs a complete matte, if Zhang Xiaofan covers the matte coating with another layer of matte clear paint, then this result may seem redundant.

Anyway, it's a concept car, and even if it is to be mass-produced, it will take several years.

So let's play bigger, Zhang Xiaofan sprayed a layer of matte transparent paint on top of the matte coating again.

In this way, it looks about an octave, but if you measure it, it may only be 5 or 6 degrees.

That's the difference between the human eye and the instrument.

After Zhang Xiaofan finished arranging the task, he looked at the technicians who were walking around the laboratory.

I always feel like I'm a little bit funny.

Ditch the glossy car topcoat and let the project stop for a while, then work on the matte topcoat.

Anyway, the head must be a little abnormal, otherwise I wouldn't have made such a decision.

After all, the mainstream is still a glossy topcoat.

But fortunately, this time it may be possible to solve the problem in four or five days, and waste is waste.

After researching the product, there is another big problem, which is the spraying of sheet metal.

Naturally, Zhang Xiaofan couldn't buy a BMW and repaint its sheet metal.

However, there is no problem with second-hand BMWs, as long as they are BMW models.

Then let someone remove the sheet metal and clean it with a plasticizer.

This allows for a second coating of the sheet metal.

Once again, it was assembled into a complete BMW model.

In this way, you can feel the charm of this paint very intuitively.

Once the paint was complete, the car was placed directly in front of the company's main door.

When commuting to work, many people will involuntarily walk over to touch this car.

Zhang Xiaofan saw the reactions of these people.

It looks like it was a success.

Zhang Xiaofan put the car in front of the door to see the reaction of the company's employees.

Their reaction at the moment was that although it took a lot of time and money, it was worth it.
