Surface quality behaviour was investigated for one step production
system compared to traditional painting process. This study was conducted to
compare and analyse the effect of one step production cycle on surface quality
when compared with traditional production system. Sample plates were prepared
by traditional painting process with acrylic solvent based paint and one step
production cycle with polyurethane (PU) coating systems. Surface quality of
plates were analysed regarding scratch resistance, thermal aging resistance and
orange peeling formation. Test methods were determined according to Fiat
painted plastic part qualification norms. Test results revealed that gloss
loss, roughness values and orange peeling formation affinity were less for one
step production system with PU than conventional system with solvent based
acrylic paint. This study contributes to revealing surface quality performance
for the methods of producing painted parts that are more resistant to scratch,
thermal conditions and having much fewer surface defects like orange peeling.
