Cracking is a paint defect that creates an incorrect finish or protection of the surface against external agents.

This video shows its most common causes and how to solve this paint defect.

Paint Cracking, also known as paint crazing, is the partial or complete cracking of the repaired surface.

This paint defect becomes visible especially during the inspection phase of the vehicle, after the finish paint has dried.

The paint cracking appearing on the surface may have different widths and lengths, and may be arranged in different directions, resulting in an uneven and non-uniform surface.

Let us look at some of the causes that lead to the appearance of cracking and their possible solution:

1. Incorrect paint preparation.

2. Changes in room temperature.

3. Paint layer thickness.
