Paint Adhesion Test:
Various “scruff” tests were performed on each sample 24 hours after the final paint
coat was applied. Test results follow.
Test Method | Sample #1 | Sample #2 | Sample #3 | Sample #4 |
Abrasion with shoe | No effect | No effect | No effect | No effect |
Light abrasion with wire brush (once back and forth) | No visible effect | No visible effect | No visible effect | No visible effect |
Medium abrasion with wire brush (2 x’s back and forth) | Slight visible effect | No visible effect | No visible effect | No visible effect |
Heavy abrasion with wire brush (3 or more x’s back and forth) | Slight visible effect | No visible effect | No visible effect | Slight visible effect |
The visible effects were determined / observed by placing the sample upon a white table top, performing the test and looking for small paint particles on the white surface.
