What to Monitor During UV Coating of 4Runner Grille Surfaces

We make sure that when our fabulous 4Runner grilles are off to the UV coating process out at DODD, we're watching for a few very important toys to ensure they will come out looking glossy and UV protected. So what should we track in the course of UV- coating to make our grilles look better than ever? 

Even UV Coverage on 4Runner Grille:

During the UV coating stage, it is vital to watch that the layer spreads equally over the entire surface of grille. Given this, it is necessary to completely finish every corner and crevice of the grill for optimum protection. Our unique machines in DODD help in laying the UV coating evenly so that no area remains without protection. 

Adjust Exposure time of UV-Used for Optimal Coating:

The grille is put under ultraviolet light which causes the coating to dry and harden. You will need to keep an eye on the duration of the exposure, to ensure proper drying for setting. Our 2015 toyota tacoma grille are always recoated perfectly thanks to our expert technicians at DODD who monitor the UV exposure time very closely. 

Grille Finish, Sheen Survey uniform Gloss and finish Check:

Once this has been completed the 2017 tacoma grille need to be reviewed to make sure there is a consistent tone and finish across all grilles. It should appear glossy and be evenly laid out over the entire grille with no areas that are dull or uneven. Every AmplifiedParts safety grille is a way for our team at DODD to hand inspect each grille face to make certain they are built properly, and have the same high level of finish we strive for across our entire product line. 

How To Stay Away From Overexposure:

Protecting our 2016 tacoma grille is very important, but be careful not to overdo it or damage them. Excessive exposure to UV rays can make the coating brittle and eventually crack, which will hurt the strength of your new grille. UV exposure is a huge factor that can shorten the life of your grille, so here at DODD we monitor UV exposure levels to ensure that our grilles are never overexposed. 

Measuring UV Coating Thickness for Durability and Longevity:

As well as ensuring consistent coverage and a clean finish it is also important for UV coating thickness measurement in order to understand durability and wear. More coating means a thicker membrane, which keeps our grilles from getting scratched or worn down so they remain pretty for many years. At DODD, our team makes sure that UV coating thicknesses are measured during the process so that our grilles last longer. 

In summary, we needed to track UV coating for our 4Runner grilles at DODD so they look great and are protected. From proper coverage to UV exposure time control, finish uniformity check, overexposure avoidance and quality testing of coating thickness all this is necessary for our clients to enjoy high-quality grilles.
