after application to pre-corroded panels will follow.<br />

Dry film thickness<br />

The dry film thickness of each coating was<br />

determined using a Fischer Dualscope MP4C probe<br />

as described previously. All surface treatments<br />

were applied so that they attained 20-25 microns by<br />

adjusting the number of applications or concentration<br />

of material applied (table 3). Coatings of less than<br />

25 microns are known to offer poor protection to car<br />

bodies exposed to water, oxygen, salt and abrasion<br />

during their lifetimes [10]. However, because a<br />

single application of the waxes produced dry films<br />

thinner than one micron, it was impractical and time<br />

consuming to apply them thicker than 20 microns.<br />

Appearance<br />

Surface treatments were either colourless and<br />

transparent, gold and transparent or black and<br />

opaque (table 3, figure 2 and figure 3). All the goldcoloured<br />

coatings contained corrosion inhibitors<br />

which often impart a brown colouration. Treatments<br />

based on waxes did not form cohesive films and<br />

brushstrokes and crazing were visible with the naked<br />

eye (figure 4). The wetting agent, perfluorodecyl<br />

iodide, imparted a milkiness to Paraloid B72 on<br />

drying which indicated that they were poorly<br />

compatible. Vp CI-386 acrylic primer/topcoat,<br />
