In this conversation, Claire Cleland from Static Solutions joins Justin to discuss how static electricity can impact color matching during the refinishing process. Claire explains why static affects plastic and metal substrates differently, how it influences the orientation of metallic flakes in the paint, and why that can lead to darker bumpers, mismatched panels, blend halos, and inconsistent finishes.
They also explore how environmental conditions and surface preparation contribute to static buildup, and why controlling static throughout the painting process is essential for achieving consistent, accurate color matches.
