Each competitor will receive a dedicated pan to correct. The pans have been prepared with the following process:

​

Initial Preparation:

• Each pan has been deliberately scuffed. • A base layer of epoxy was applied to ensure paint adhesion.

​

Paint Application:

• The color applied is Metaluxe’s standard black. • Axalta clear coat has been sprayed over the color layer.

• The total paint thickness on each pan is approximately 4 mils (100 microns).

​

Final Preparation:

• The surface of each pan has been hand-sanded using 3M 1500-grit sandpaper to create a uniform starting point for correction.

In the Paint Correction Competition Detailers must remove scuff marks from their pans in 5 minutes! Scores are calculated with the Detailometer, a device that calculates the RIQ (Reflective Image Quality) and the Haze (Lack of scratches). Whoever has the best combination of these two factors wins the competition and prizes from our exhibitors!
