1 Byk Cloud Runner Mottling Trends: Process and Material Influences Linda Gerhardt, PhD Paint Quality & Competitive Benchmarking Global Center - Strategy and Planning GM ME Vehicle Systems June 2013

2 Agenda Initial & Long-Term Quality are Statistically Clustered JD Power IQS3 (NA Metric): First 90 Days of Ownership Paint Defects Blemishes, Dirt, Runs Peeling, Chips, Scratches Initial Quality: OEMs are Statistically Clustered JD Power VDS (NA Metric): Measured at 3 Years Paint Durability Fading, Chipping Peeling, Cracking Long-Term Quality: OEMs are Statistically Clustered ~2 IPHV ~4 IPHV

3 Agenda Perceived Quality: Not Easily Defined An Emotional Reaction Not Easily Characterized Perceptions Can Hold Even if Actual Quality Changes Quality Perception: First 10 minutes First Impressions Extend Beyond Exterior Appearance and are Not Captured in Standard Quality Metrics Perceived Quality is the Single Most Important Contributor to a Company s ROI, having more Impact than Market Share, R&D, or Marketing Expenditures Aaker, Dr. David, Building Strong Brands, New York: Simon and Schuster, Ltd., 2002

4 Agenda Paint Perceived Quality: A Science Methods that Capture the Customer s Emotional Reaction PQ Dimensions Derived from Product Reviews and Customer Clinics / Verbatims Objective Metrics Correlated with what the Customer Sees and Values Benchmarking and Data Collection that Allow for Real BIS Target Setting You Can t Manage What You Don t Measure. -- Peter Drucker

5 Agenda Field Survey -Validated Instruments Exterior Surface Appearance Nominal Orange Peel R Value & Surface Uniformity Shortwave (SW), Longwave (LW), DOI Structure Spectrum (du-we) & Structure Balance (B) Color Harmony Fascia and Body to Standard (GM Models) Fascia to Body Harmony (All Models) Metallic Mottle Nominal Mottle M Value Mottle Spectrum

6 Agenda Field Survey -Validated Instruments Exterior Surface Appearance Nominal Orange Peel R Value & Surface Uniformity Shortwave (SW), Longwave (LW), DOI Structure Spectrum (du-we) & Structure Balance (B) Color Harmony Fascia and Body to Standard (GM Models) Fascia to Body Harmony (All Models) Metallic Mottle Nominal Mottle M Value Mottle Spectrum

7 Mottling: An Undesirable Defect Which Can Occur with Effect Coatings It is Most Obvious on Light Metallic Finishes Total color impression shows irregular areas of lightness variation Most noticeable on large body panels Can be caused by coating formulation or application process

8 Mottling: Visual Evaluation The visual perception of mottling is dependent on viewing distance Large mottles can be seen at far distances Small mottles are more noticeable at short distances Visual evaluation is subjective, since it depends on lighting conditions, observation distance, and viewing angle

9 Byk Cloud Runner: Simulation of Visual Perception Objective evaluation requires measurement of lightness variation over a large sample area under different detection angles Byk Cloud Runner optical measurement includes White light LED at 15 angle 3 Observation Conditions: 15, 45, and 60 from the specular reflection

10 Byk Cloud Runner: Optical Principle & Measurement Scale The meter is rolled 10 cm (3.94 in) to 100 cm (39.4 in) and lightness variation is measured point by point Mathematical filters divide the signal into 6 mottling ranges and a rating value is calculated for each angle and mottle size The higher the value, the more visible the mottle for that range Small Mottles = Impact of Material Large Mottles = Impact of Process

11 Byk Cloud Runner: Interpretation of Measurement Data Small Mottles = Impact of Material Large Mottles = Impact of Process <0.5 in. 1-3 in. 2-5 in. Mottling is Dominated by the Maximum Value of the Large Mottles
