A pre‐coated steel sheet for household electrical appliances needs to be highly formable and stain resistant. In recent years, secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) with a time‐of‐flight (TOF) mass analyzer with an Ar gas cluster ion beam (Ar–GCIB) has been widely used as a structure analysis technology of organic molecules. In this paper, we looked into the effectiveness of Ar–GCIB–TOF–SIMS as a structure analysis technique of paint film. As a result, we could detect the trimer fragment ions of hexamethoxymethylmelamine in the range of m / z = 400–800 for the first time for the spin‐coating of HMMM on a Si wafer. By evaluation of characteristic monomer fragment ions, we could find out the different surface distributions of melamine‐formaldehyde resin with the different formulations of paint films.
