Application tips
Firstcoatis a basecoat of color.
Second a second coat of transparent pearlcolor.This coat is applied very thin to give the pearl effect.
In orderto successfully match your color you should practice on a scrap piece ofmetal.
Application
First apply the basecoat. This is the main color coat. Make sure this hasthoroughly dried for at least a few hours. Next, apply pearl coat layer.This color goes on very thinly and you must practice a bit to get it right.
Make sure to get the primer and basecoat are sanded very smooth before applyingthe additional stages of paint. The primer should be wet sanded before applyingthe paint. Once pearl coat is applied over the basecoat, it becomes verydifficult to smooth the basecoat paint. You can use #1500 grit sandpaper(available separately in my touch up kit selling for $5.99) or rubbingcompound to smooth the paint. Always let the basecoat dry thoroughly beforeapplying the pearl coat .
The real trick is applying the pearl coat over the basecoat to achieve theright color. It\'s like using a colored transparent piece of plastic over thebasecoat to change the color. Add too little, and the basecoat won\'t be changedenough; add too much, and you will change the basecoat too much and have tostart over again. Make sure you PRACTICE OFF the vehicle to see how itturns out and keep comparing your practice work to the vehicle color. Pearl coatsare best sprayed, but if you use very thin coats brushing, you can do areasonable job. Applying a pearl coat is more difficult than a regularbase-coat/clearcoat combination but with some practice you can achievesatisfactory results.
