Abstract
A method for measuring performance of a film coated onto a substrate is disclosed, including exposing a coated substrate to a corrosive environment, evaluating the coated substrate using colorimetric analysis, quantifying the colorimetric analysis. The method also includes determining a coating performance attributes, corrosion resistance and bond strength, based on the colorimetric analysis. Also disclosed is a method of applying a coating to a substrate, including applying a primer to a surface of a substrate, curing the primer at an elevated temperature, and measuring a surface of the primer coated substrate with a spectrometer.
