Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a method for adapting an original paint layer on an object, preferably on a vehicle.
  • the present invention has for its object to provide a new method which does not have the above stated drawbacks. It is also an object of the invention to achieve a similar end result in respect of the quality of the newly applied paint layer.
  • this object of the invention is achieved by providing a method for adapting an original paint layer on an object, preferably on a vehicle, comprising the steps of:
  • the new paint layer is similar in quality to a paint layer obtained by direct respraying as according to the prior art.
  • the new paint layer according to the invention can moreover be peeled off the original paint layer.
  • the peelable resin layer with new paint layer can thus be first removed in its entirety from the object, after which the original paint layer is obtained. This is then provided once again with a peelable resin layer and another new paint layer without increasing the thickness of the overall paint layer.
  • the object with original paint layer can moreover be easily restored in this way. This method of operation provides an attractive and advantageous way of varying the paint colours of the object.
  • Curing of the resin layer can be achieved by drying in air, optionally at increased temperature.
  • peelable resin layers are per se known in the field, particularly as protective layers on vehicles (see for example EP 0 336 196 A1 and WO 01/83878 A2 ) .
  • Other functionalities of the peelable resin layers are also known, wherein the peelable resin layer itself has for instance a camouflage colour or camouflage pattern for the purpose of military vehicles.
  • the method according to the invention preferably comprises a subsequent additional step of:
  • one or more of the applied layers are more preferably applied by spraying on a liquid.
  • Spraying on a liquid is a very practical method of applying the respective layers. Each layer can thus be applied as a thin film.
  • the method according to the invention comprises a prior additional step of:
  • the peelable resin layer is of a type classified as tacky booth coating.
  • coatings are known and extensively described as a coating suitable for covering inner walls of spray booths.
  • This type of coating is commercially available in different variants.
  • the coating is sprayed as a protective layer on the inner walls of the spray booths and cured.
  • the material has a decreased adhesive power and can therefore be peeled off the inner wall.
  • the protective layer serves to collect residues of sprayed paints which have not settled on the object for spraying in the spray booth.
  • the protective layer can be peeled off at any desired moment and replaced by a new protective layer.
  • the inner walls of a spray booth are thus permanently protected from residues of paints which have not settled on the object for spraying.
  • the peelable resin layer comprises as main component a partially cured resin chosen from the group of polyurethane, polyvinyl butyral, ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene acrylate, polyvinyl acetate and the derivatives thereof, as well as combinations of the above stated resins and their derivatives.
  • Such a resin is found to function very well as underlayer for the new paint layer, while at the same time having good peelability relative to the original paint layer.
  • a shared feature of these resins is that they do not cure completely, whereby a fraction of unreacted groups is present in the resin layer. This fraction of unreacted groups is also present in the contact surface of the resin layer lying against the original paint layer. The resin layer can be peeled off on this basis.
  • the resin layer is more preferably arranged in the form of an aqueous suspension of the reactants for the corresponding resin.
  • aqueous suspension is recommended because it generally has little environmental impact, and the health hazards are moreover reduced for those applying the resin layer.
  • the aqueous suspension is moreover suitable for spraying on of a resin layer.
  • the reactants for the resin depend of course on the type of resin chosen: for polyurethane these are isocyanate and glycol; for polyvinyl butyral they are polyvinyl alcohol and butanal; for polyvinyl acetate this is the monomer vinyl acetate; for ethylene vinyl acetate and ethylene acrylate they are the corresponding monomers, i.e. ethylene and vinyl acetate, and vinyl acrylate respectively.
  • the reactants for the resin can alternatively be a prepolymer of the resin. It is also possible for the reactants of the resin to be a mixture of the corresponding monomers and the corresponding prepolymer.
  • the resin layer in the form in which it is arranged, comprises additives of surfactants and/or release agents.
  • Such additives increase the suitability of the reactants for the resin to be arranged in the form of a liquid.
  • a cured resin layer is with particular preference obtained which comprises as additive a pigment, preferably a white pigment.
  • Such a resin layer forms a suitable surface for applying a new paint layer because the white pigment prevents the colour of the underlying original paint layer showing through, thereby avoiding a show-through effect on the new paint layer.
  • the cured resin layer has a thickness in the range of 10 to 50 micrometres, and preferably 15 to 40 micrometres. This thickness has been found highly suitable for meeting all the requirements of a peelable layer in the context of the invention.
  • the new paint layer applied to the peelable resin layer preferably has a thickness in the range of 15-25 micrometres, and the optional top layer has a thickness in the range of 40-50 micrometres.
  • an object is provided, preferably a vehicle, which is provided with an original paint layer on which the following successive layers are present:
  • Such an object is highly suitable for use in presentations wherein the object is provided with a temporary paint layer desired for the presentation.
  • the object can be shown again with the original paint layer by peeling off the peelable resin layer to which the temporary paint layer has been applied. If desired, warm water can be applied during peeling in order to simplify peeling or to remove residues of the resin layer left behind.
  • a dried transparent top layer is preferably present on the new paint layer.
  • the peelable resin layer is more preferably of a type classified as tacky booth coating.
  • the peelable resin layer comprises as main component a partially cured resin chosen from the group of polyurethane, polyvinyl butyral, ethylene vinyl acetate, ethylene acrylate, polyvinyl acetate and the derivatives thereof, as well as combinations of the above stated resins and their derivatives.
  • the cured resin layer preferably further comprises as additive a pigment, more preferably a white pigment.
  • the cured resin layer preferably has a thickness in the range of 10 to 50 micrometres, and preferably 15 to 40 micrometres.
