What's This White Powder On My Painted Part? | Partify

Why is My Painted Auto Part Covered In White Powder?

The secret to Partify’s excellent quality standards ends with a thin white coat of baby powder!

That’s right! Partify’s secret ingredient in quality assurance is baby powder. Baby powder helps to protect the clear coat and finish from shipping damage, a prominent issue for the painted-to-match auto part industry. Partify uses baby powder to ensure a perfect finish even after shipping -- and the powder is easily removed afterward!


What Does the Baby Powder Do On An Auto Part?

Even when paint is dry, rubbing against packaging material can wear down and ruin the paint finish on an auto part. Partify uses a thin coat of baby powder to add an extra layer of protection from packaging foam and other materials that would leave marks or wrinkles on the paint finish. 


Are There Downsides to Using Baby Powder?

None at all! Baby powder does not mix with the paint or affect the clear coat finish on the auto part. The dusting will likely still be there when you open your new auto part -- but it is easily removed.


Best Way to Remove Baby Powder

Baby powder can be easily removed with a cloth and a bit of warm water. Gently wiping the auto part with a cloth dipped in warm water will quickly and easily remove any remaining dusting of baby powder.
