Furthermore, we perform experimental validation to verify the findings. The results assume that both laser power and scanning speed influence the outcomes of the cleaning process. At a constant scanning speed, the maximum temperature of both the paint surface and the substrate surface linearly increases with rising laser power. In contrast, at a fixed laser power, the scanning speed influences cleaning outcomes through spot overlap, and the surface temperature of the paint layer rises as the scanning speed decreases. The optimum cleaning effect, with a surface roughness (Ra) of 1.0139 μm, is achieved at a scanning speed of 2500 mm/s and a laser power of 30 W.
