Abstract

Methods of coating a substrate are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a coating composition is applied to the substrate with a high transfer efficiency applicator to produce a coating layer, where the high transfer efficiency applicator and the substrate remain spatially separate while the coating composition is applied. A droplet of the coating composition expelled from the high transfer efficiency applicator has a particle size of about 10 microns or greater. The coating composition has a viscosity of from about 1,000 to about 1,000,000 centipoise when the coating composition is subject to a shear rate of about 0.1 reciprocal seconds (s−1). However, the coating composition is non-Newtonian such that a coating composition viscosity decreases when the shear rate is increased to the coating composition. The coating layer is impinged with a gas such that a coating layer surface moves upon impingement with the gas.

Abstract

Devices and methods for measuring color of a target coating are provided. In an exemplary embodiment, a color measurement device includes a housing configured for placement on a target coating. A source connected to the housing directs a beam of electromagnetic radiation towards the target coating at an entrance angle. A spherical coordinate system is used, where the entrance angle is a polar angle measured from a zenith that is normal to the target coating surface. First and second detectors are connected to the housing at a first and second polar angle, respectively, to measure the electromagnetic radiation reflected by a target population of flakes within the target coating, where all the flakes in the target population of flakes have the same angled flake normal polar angle. The first polar angle is different than the second polar angle.

Abstract

A system for measuring the reflectivity of a painted object includes an electromagnetic wave source that emits an electromagnetic wave, a panel that holds the painted object, with the panel being movable to adjust an incident angle of the electromagnetic wave onto the panel, a reflector to receive and direct electromagnetic waves that are reflected by the painted object towards the reflector, a detector to detect an intensity of electromagnetic waves, and a control unit. The control unit is communicatively connected to the panel and to the detector. The control unit determines the incident angle of the electromagnetic wave, receives the intensity of the electromagnetic wave detected by the detector, and determines the reflectivity of the painted object as a function of the intensity of the electromagnetic wave detected by the detector over a predetermined range of incident angle values.

Abstract

Apparatuses and methods for measurement of spatial properties of a moving surface coating containing flake pigment are provided herein. An exemplary apparatus includes a movable surface adapted to receive the surface coating. A motion device is in mechanical communication with the movable surface. A light source provides a beam of light directed at a preselected interrogation zone through which the movable surface passes during movement thereof. A light detection device detects light reflected from the preselected interrogation zone and produces an output. A computing device is configured to determine one or more spatial properties of the surface coating based upon the output. One or more of the light source, the light detection device, or the computing device are configured to adjust for the movement of the surface coating through the preselected interrogation zone as a variable that affects measurement of reflected light by the light detection device.

A system and method of quantifying a difference between gonioapparent colored surfaces includes determining a lightness (L*), a sparkle area (Sa), and a sparkle intensity (Si) of the first and second surfaces at a first aspecular angle and at a second aspecular angle. A sparkle metric (SpkM) to quantify the difference between the first and second surfaces is calculated utilizing the lightness (L*), the sparkle area (Sa), and the sparkle intensity (Si) of the first and second surfaces at the first and second aspecular angles.

Abstract

A method for forming a multi-layer coating includes the step of sequentially applying a layer of a primer coating composition, a layer of a base coating composition, and a layer of a clear coating composition on a substrate. The clear coating composition includes a film forming binder and an organic liquid carrier. The film forming binder includes at least one monomer unit including the condensation product of an ethylenically unsaturated carboxylic acid group and glycidyl ester of a mixture of tertiary acids having 9 to 11 carbon atoms having at least one methyl group on the α-carbon. The method further includes the step of simultaneously curing the applied three layers by baking.

The total match metric (TMM) are produced based on color difference values (ΔE) at three or more color viewing angles, sparkle difference values (ΔS) at one or more sparkle viewing angles and flop difference value (Δf) between the target coating and the specimen coating using one or more linear functions, one or more non-linear functions, or a combination thereof. The total match metric can be used in producing matching coatings that match color and appearance of the target coating. The total match metric can be particularly useful for repair coating damages to vehicles.
