Automotive paint filter refers to the filter used for paint. The primary purpose of filtration is to remove particles caused by agglomerated pigment, resin or dirt. This particulate contamination can cause paint defects such as stars, lumps, rough areas, splatters and spits. Every vehicle is inspected for these defects. The filter cannot be so efficient as to remove the wanted pigments (such as metallic fleck paints). Throughout its life, the filter should effectively remove all particles big enough to cause paint defects or nozzle clogging. The filter should not be so tight (efficient) that it removes the desired pigments and resins. Many filters get more efficient during their life due to the accumulation of particulate. This can be detrimental to specialty paint application. Some filters remove a broad range of particles above and below their respective ratings. Filters that effectively only remove particles at and above their rating while allowing the smaller particles to pass through are called classifying filters. Ideal for this type of application, classifying filters are particularly effective if they maintain their efficiency over a significant portion of their life.

Automotive is a key driver of this industry. According to data from the World Automobile Organization (OICA), global automobile production and sales in 2017 reached their peak in the past 10 years, at 97.3 million and 95.89 million respectively. In 2018, the global economic expansion ended, and the global auto market declined as a whole. In 2022, there will wear units 81.6 million vehicles in the world. At present, more than 90% of the world"s automobiles are concentrated in the three continents of Asia, Europe and North America, of which Asia automobile production accounts for 56% of the world, Europe accounts for 20%, and North America accounts for 16%. The world major automobile producing countries include China, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Germany, India, Mexico, and other countries; among them, China is the largest automobile producing country in the world, accounting for about 32%. Japan is the world"s largest car exporter, exporting more than 3.5 million vehicles in 2022.
