Basecoat paint is the first layer of paint or other coating material that serves as the base on which the top or finishing coat is applied. It is typically applied after the primer coat. Basecoat paint for cars is a high-quality, pigment-rich paint that contains a binder, solvents, and other additives. Base coat used in automotive applications is commonly divided into three categories: solid, metallic, and pearlescent pigments. The base paint is specifically formulated to ensure the adhesion of the topcoat of paint to the surface below it, providing the best-looking and longest-lasting finish.
