Thanks Hsorman. I'm a little reluctant to see this in direct sunlight. Booth lights can lie but I think I mottled the pearl a bit on the sides.
That is a good question. If it did not fade or wrinkle then think you are ok. In painting my car put royal blue mini flake over my single stage b5 blue with color blender. first coat with flake in it then second coat with no flake in it. Then put three coats of clear over the car. Used Matrix product's on the car. Use color blender over art work or like putting ghost flames on the car to seal it from your clear coat. Even pin striping. This is to stop bleeding effect.
A lot of people would love to have a car with those f@ck ups. Looks great!
I hear that! Years ago I painted one of my cars, closest to perfect that I've ever done... no runs and no need to even touch it when it was done but since then I hate painting! Every single time I paint it's something else and usually what you described.. won't flow then runs. This last one (my dad's truck) I finally felt great about the results, went on silky smooth not needing buffed, came back a few days later and the clear had shrunk or something but now has enough texture that it needs blocked and buffed
Cool. Which color? Blue I assume? I can't imagine the gold, red or violet would do much for B5.
Yes sir, the blue pearl. My paint jobber had to order it from the PPG store in Tennessee. I’m in Louisiana. Guess it’s like everything else these days. In short supply and three days away. If you don’t mind when I get my let down panel sprayed I’ll post a pic of it.
Sure, no problem. They had to order mine from California and said it was in short supply. I had already shot the jambs with a bottle my PPG rep "gave" me because he wanted to see it. I didn't have enough left over to complete the exterior so I ordered more and they told me it was hard to find. I panicked a bit because if they couldn't find it I would be in a "jamb" pun intended. It took about 10 days to get it.
