Abstract
In the paper we take in considerations some possibilities of identify, based on a "template or pattern visually determined" the car bodywork protective coatings destruction in contact with marine bird droppings on coast zone - referring directly to a specific panel of a premium body frame manufacturer where, through experimentally searching reporting referential and systematic precision measurements of coating thickness in the affected area, we shape the deformation of the coating and simulated it in a virtual environment, highlighting possible causes of the loss of the aesthetic qualities protection of the car-body-frame film layer.
Keywords: automotive body coating, visual pattern effect, bird droppings
