The ‘liquid metal look’ is the latest coatings innovation to hit automobiles. This new generation of waterborne basecoat paints is formulated using VDA (vapour deposited aluminium thin flake pigments) which are suspended in an aqueous medium and when sprayed, lay down flat to give a thin mirror-like, high gloss finish.
This unique stunning metallic finish, looks like a bright metal skin and was Trevorhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00416792577479007869noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3892923031115431782.post-7984500969070536612010-04-25T09:50:00.001+01:002010-04-25T10:12:35.083+01:00New 'Cool' coatings - a marriage of performance and colour designThe surge of interest in using coatings for exterior cladding and roofing that contain infrared reflective pigments to keep buildings cooler has recently taken on a new and exciting future dimension.
