The painted appearance of shot-blast-textured (SBT) and electric-discharge-textured (EDT) automotive cold-rolled steel sheets was determined and related empirically to surface roughness parameters, phosphate coating weight, and paint thickness. The results were used to establish the ranges of average roughness and peak count necessary for acceptable painted appearance.
