METHOD OF SURFACE COATING TO ENHANCE DURABILITY OF AESTHETICS AND SUBSTRATE COMPONENT FATIGUE
First Claim
1. A method for treating a substrate, the method comprises:
- applying a uniform clear coating layer to the surface of the substrate; and
then applying a preceramic resin film to the coated substrate,wherein the preceramic resin film is uniformly applied and cured onto the coated substrate so as to result in a ceramic shell of about 3 microns to about 12 microns in thickness over the coated substrate.

Abstract
A method for surface coating products, especially vehicle wheels, to improve the durability of their aesthetics and structural integrity via increased resistance to impact, abrasion, soil (e.g., brake dust), corrosion and fatigue stresses. The method comprises applying a uniform clear coating layer to the surface of the substrate, and then applying a preceramic resin film to the coated substrate, where the preceramic resin film is uniformly applied and cured onto the coated substrate so as to result in a ceramic shell of about 3 microns to about 12 microns in thickness over the coated substrate. In another embodiment, the method for the surface coating of an aluminum alloy substrate comprises applying a uniform clear coating layer to the surface of the aluminum alloy substrate and then applying a preceramic resin film to the coated aluminum alloy substrate, where the preceramic resin film is uniformly applied and cured onto the coated aluminum alloy substrate so as to result in a ceramic shell of about 3 microns to about 12 microns in thickness over the coated aluminum alloy substrate.
