Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

The present disclosure relates to a method for forming a parting line in a coating using an easily peelable coating material. The method includes: (i) attaching a masking tape to a part not to be coated on a boundary between a part to be coated and the part not to be coated along the boundary; (ii) performing a process to improve an adhesiveness with an easily peelable coating material on surfaces of a part in contact with the boundary of the part to be coated and/or a part in contact with the boundary of the masking tape; (iii) applying the easily peelable coating material over surfaces of the part to be coated and the part in contact with the boundary of the masking tape; and (iv) peeling off the masking tape.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1 . A method for forming a parting line in a coating using an easily peelable coating material, the method comprising: (i) attaching a masking tape on a part not to be coated on a boundary between a part to be coated and the part not to be coated, along the boundary; (ii) performing a process to improve an adhesiveness with the easily peelable coating material on a surface of a part in contact with the boundary of the part to be coated and/or a part in contact with the boundary of the masking tape; (iii) applying the easily peelable coating material over surfaces of the part to be coated and the part in contact with the boundary of the masking tape; and (iv) peeling off the masking tape. 2 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (ii), the process to improve the adhesiveness with the easily peelable coating material is an adhesive application process and/or a roughening process. 3 . The method according to claim 2 , wherein in the step (ii), the process to improve the adhesiveness with the easily peelable coating material is the roughening process. 4 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (ii), the surfaces of the part in contact with the boundary of the part to be coated and the part in contact with the boundary of the masking tape are processed. 5 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (ii), the surface of the part in contact with the boundary of the masking tape is processed. 6 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein the step (iii) includes half-hardening or hardening the easily peelable coating material and cooling the easily peelable coating material. 7 . The method according to claim 1 , wherein in the step (iv), the masking tape is peeled off along the parting line in a pull direction of from 160° to 200° with a pull angle of from 160° to 180°.
