The techniques and processes you use doing custom work are not used in collision shops. 99% of most body shop painters, as good as they are, cannot spray out a REAL candy paint job. BUT!!!!!! as in any 3 stage paint work, you need to know what you're doing, and then do it VERY well. Matching factory pearl colors.īut in the custom paint world, you really can.
I do not doubt that that's what the paint reps told you.and it is probably a very good practice to follow what they say, to do repair work in regular body shops.
#MIX BASE COAT WITH CLEAR COAT HOW TO#
I know the ppg rep told us to never do it because it won't mix evenly into the clear and well settle to quickly in it causing more to come out in the clear at once.the mid coats are designed for pearls and blending.I've been to two paint schools one sponsored by ppg the other by dupont and they tell you to mix it in that as the pearls are formulated to suspend in that solution they aren't formulated for clear coats.when in doubt call your paint rep it's his job to know how to use the products properly
#MIX BASE COAT WITH CLEAR COAT PRO#
This is the best way to do it.clear is most of the time to thick and pearls well gather together in it in certain areas.I've seen it happen to even pro custom painters before the midcoats came out.best thing to do is use that.you get the same effect as the others and it's pretty hassle free.It's also easier to get it finlay even and not get tiger stripes.modern pearls from the big name companies are not designed to go in clear coats at all.talk to the paint reps from the companies.i know the ppg rep told us to never do it because it won't mix evenly into the clear and well settle to quickly in it causing more to come out in the clear at once.the mid coats are designed for pearls and blending.I've been to two paint schools one sponsored by ppg the other by dupont and they tell you to mix it in that as the pearls are formulated to suspend in that solution they aren't formulated for clear coats.when in doubt call your paint rep it's his job to know how to use the products properly What most of the guys are talking about with the midcoat pearl is clear base coat with the pearl mixed in it.
