Vanguard reported in 2022 that about 68% of Nigerian car owners repaint their cars almost every three years because the former paint is either peeling or fading.
What could be the reason? Here is the catch: it is the combination of two reasons—the terrible weather conditions and the quality of paint and finishes used.
Now, you may ask, is there any solution? Of course, yes! This is where the Latico clear coat finishes come into play. Don’t get confused; I am going to explain what I mean by a clear coat.
In this article, I will show you the advantages of Latico clear coat over other paint finishes that you can find by the roadside. Please read through till the last sentence.
What is Clear Coat, and Why Does It Matter?
A clear coat is a transparent protective layer laid over the base color paint of a vehicle. It does not add color to the paint but serves a very useful purpose in boosting the appearance and adding protection from any form of damage.
To illustrate better, after painting a car, you need to add an extra layer of protection just to protect the paint and maybe boost appearance. This extra thing that you apply to the paint is called a clear coat, and it is colorless.
Latico Clear Coat Versus Conventional Paint Finishes
Now, this article aims to show you why you should choose the Latico clear coat distributed by Fidel Associates Limited whenever you want to finish your car paint rather than the conventional paint finishes.
1. Ability to Withstand Terrible Weather and Road Conditions
Latico Clear Coat is formulated with superior durability and gloss to stand the rigors in Nigeria’s climatic conditions.
Conventional paint finishes normally combine the base and protective layers but do not offer the unique properties of a clear coat layer.
2. Durability
Latico Clear Coat has the following that makes it stand out;
- UV Resistance: Resistant to the scorching Nigerian sun as it prevents discolorations or easy fading.
- Scratch Resistance: This is a hard barrier resistant to minor abrasions that could be gotten from rough Nigerian roads.
- Long-Lasting Shine: Keeps its shiny look for years with little maintenance.
Conventional Paint Finishes:
- UV Protection: Not very durable, as you can’t bank on it in cities like Lagos and Kano where sunlight is much.
- Less Resistance to Scratch: Paint tends to chip and scratch easily, especially in highly congested areas.
- High Maintenance: Finishes like these generally need to be waxed and polished often to keep up the gloss.
3. Aesthetic Appeal
A vehicle coated with a Latico clear coat gives this mirror-like shine, adding depth and richness to its color. Whether navigating the Lagos traffic or parking in a busy lot, your car is guaranteed to steal the show.
Conventional finishes might give the initial gloss, but they fade much faster, especially in regions with frequent rainfalls like Port Harcourt or Calabar or areas with intense sunlight like Kano.
4. Cost-Effectiveness Over Time
Although Latico clear coat is a bit more expensive when buying, it is economical in the long run because:
- It reduces maintenance costs since it requires less repainting and fewer touch-ups.
- It protects the base paint for a long time, thus making your car look new for longer.
On the other hand, conventional paints appear cheaper at the initial stage but may be costly afterward due to their short lifespan and high maintenance cost.
5. Adaptability to Nigerian Weather and Road Conditions
Latico clear coat is formulated to resist the scorching sun, heavy rains, and high humidity levels across Nigeria. Also, it contains a scratch-resistant formula that stands a better chance against terrible road conditions.
Conventional finishes wear out faster under these same conditions. Only the bad roads in rural areas and the constant dust in cities like Kano and Kaduna can take a heavy toll on vehicle paint.
