Abstract

<jats:p>The aim of the work was to investigate the influence of the surface texture of composite based on PA6, intended for wet painting, on the stability of the colour and gloss parameters. The stability of the paint coating was required to be maintained despite exposure to mechanical stress resulting from attempts to manually remove graffiti stains. The study examined the influence of surface texture on the effectiveness of cleaning. In the case of painted surfaces from which graffiti stains were effectively removed, the roughness, colour parameters and gloss of the paint coating were measured. During the research, it was found that roughness after painting decreased to the value of Ra &lt; 2.00 µm meets aesthetic expectations and at the same time ensures the effective removal of graffiti stains. For this surface, there were no negative effects of the mechanical impact on the textures or quality parameters of the coating as a result of manual graffiti removal. As a result of the conducted research, the recommended maximum values of roughness and textures of the surfaces to be painted were determined in order to ensure a sufficiently low amount of work necessary to effectively remove traces of graffiti.</jats:p>
