Automotive paint must endure a great deal in its travels:
scrubbing car wash brushes, flying rocks and stones or lashing tree
branches. Even our finger nails leave permanent traces behind when
opening and closing the car's doors. What must be done with the paint
so that it resists all the stresses and strains as long as possible?
In entertaining weekly episodes our Chemical Reporter answers
questions on Chemistry in our everyday life.
