Function:
- Metallic/standard finish:
The base coats represent the color-providing components of the paint system.

With a metallic finish, effect materials are used as well as the color pigments. Only the water is flashed off during WBL intermediate drying. Cross-linking with the clearcoat does not occur until after all coats have dried.

- Clear varnish:
This final coat is the protective component of the paintwork structure and therefore has excellent technical-mechanical and chemical-resistant properties and is extremely scratch-resistant and weather-resistant.

A scratch-resistant 2-component clearcoat is used at MB-USA.
