Why is my car paint peeling off?

You feel enough satisfaction in your car’s condition and wash and wax and it faithfully. In fact, even the touch-up
paint has been doing the job to hid those odd rock chips and scratches. Lately you have seen small areas on the roof
and bonnet where the paint is beginning to uncover and you are concerned. Even when having a car’s paint detailed
certain factors can usually cause paint peeling or ‘delamination’. Left unchecked, delamination will eventually
reduce your vehicle’s condition and eventually it’s resale cost.
So why is the paint peeling? There are commonly three layers of paints on a modern automobile: primer, color, and
the clear coat. The primer serves as a first layer for the paint, supporting with adhesion, presents an expected
surface for coating, and gives added screen for the underlying metal. The paint is the color coat. The thin layer
provides a hard shell that shields the color from oxidization, minor cuts, and improves the durability of the artistic
benefits of the colored paint.
Delamination happens when one or more major of the aforementioned-layers stop adhering to the exterior below it.
For instance, the primer stops adhering to the exposed metal.
A poorly prepared paint outside can cause delamination. Major domestic companies have had paint difficulties in
the late-1980’s through the mid-1990s due to variations in painting methods which ended in the collapse of either
the primer, paint, or clear coat.
The second leading cause of paint stripping away is when the thin coat, base coat, and primer seal get damaged by a
large rock chip, ding, or cut. Once that happens, water, road salt, and other contaminants start going their way
through the layers causing the delamination. The pressurized water and grit gets below the coating and quite
completely blows off hard, fragile shell of the clear coat. However, this system of apparent coat rupture due to a bit
is rare and is suggestive from other condition issues with the paint method. Even a tiny chip in the clear coat can
develop bad paint peeling when the area is opened to additional outside forces like high-pressure wash or direct
light.
Visible peeling on your paint’s surface can lead to corrosion which can also start building on the underlying metal.
This ultimately reduce its compositional integrity. The state of paint peeling and rust will lower your vehicle’s curb
attraction and resale value.
