Whatever time line YOU think it should take, take that add what the body shop tells you it will take, double that total & then add another 50% more time. to get a great paint job, you want 215% effort to get it right & don't mess with a good plan. Paint quality is 100% prep, 100% talent, & 15% product. if he is a Formula 1 gut don't dare ask him to use 3m or Brand X from eBay.ģ.
#Mix base coat with pearl install#
Again, like alarms, don't ask a guy who knows Code-Alarm to install a Clifford or Viper alarm. Don't fix what isn't broke.If your painter uses PPG or DuPont or Sherwin Williams. Even jumping around within a brand (ie: PPG vs Omni vs vibrance) is never a clever idea.Ģ.
Use only ONE paint system for every part of the paint job, from primer, to sealer, to paint to clear NEVER mix brands. Just like car alarms, don't tell the "artist" what canvas or paint to use. The final finish is a CLEAR coat, the satin/matte/flat or gloss is irrelevant.Īs a part-time & ICAR trained painter, I am the first to say TRUST YOUR PAINTER. someone doesn't want to spray your car satin/matte for fear you won't like it when he's done. So how could the paint ONLY be available in waterborn? something doesn't add up.īottom line: if 37j is a FACTORY/OE paint color, the clear coat finish is irrelevant to the paint code. The paint on an OE subrau is still not waterborn. It sounds like to me the paint shop is uncomfortable/unqualified to handle your request for a satin/semi/matte gloss finish & is throwing up road blocks hoping to change your mind. Actually the opposite is more likely, its NOT available in waterborn paint. I highly doubt that Subaru White pearl is only available in Waterborn. You are in canada, so I don't know what the laws for VOC's & MSDS sheets are. Waterborn vs y2k compliant paint systems. Then the final protective coat is applied.Ĥ. To that a painter mixes a pre-determined ratio of pearl, flake, or other effect into the base as a carrier. Now with that said, the Pearl is sprayed in what is called "clear base" Just like for your car the "base color" is white, they make a product that is literally a clear-colored base paint. This is what is called a Tri-Coat paint:Ģ: the pearl or effect coat applied in a "clear base"ģ: clear coat (could be flat, matte, semi, or gloss) So ANY BASE COLOR can be flat, matte, semi,or gloss based on the application of the protective clear coat.ģ. Clear coats are all pretty much super gloss. Matte", "flat", or "gloss" are clear finishes that are achieved by adding a % of flattening agents into a standard clear. this also helps deal with sun fading, ozone/acid rain bleaching etc.Ģ. "00" is pure white, too that painters add other colors to derive the final color variance. any OE color has no "satin" or "pearl" to it. we need to back WAY up & cover some basics.ġ. Kolor is then ready to spray/apply to your desired surface.Ok.
