![]() ![]() I dont know if I can say buy the SPI basecoat since they might not want you to mix pigments into it. I clearly said dont buy their basecoat system, since I dont know what it is, buy the good stuff. If you make a mistake and one of your candy coats does not make it and your drip method of "dying" the intercoat clear is not exact you are going to keep spraying and spraying to make it uniform. I did not know you were an expert painter like the others here since most of your posts claim you are learning and I am just telling you how you can get there faster and more consistent. Don't get mesmerized by the HOK name and thinking you are getting top quality. And dont forget the concentrate you are buying is not in clear, its in solvent, like you should mix the powder before adding it to the paint. You take intercoat clear and add about 10 grams of this powder and thats about the strength of HOK. What I said are the kandy concentrates from HOK are in no way as concentrated as a powder. Why does it always come to "cheaping" out on a product. If you dont want to mess with the color, they sell the mixed paint as well, but I would rather control the quality of my basecoat we were using and be able to adjust accordingly. I know there are other candy and flake places out there, but for some reason the liquid candies they sell do not really tint the black as much, so this concentrated powder gets the job done fast. I bought an old digital scale to mix it, but have also used a little jewelry type scale to measure out the candy pearl adding to paint for the trial before mixing the entire gallon. But you know how straight body work needs to be when you are going black. ![]() The only way I would candy in a second step is if you want to do the darker down low trick that Chip Foose uses, by layering more candy down low than up high. You would be surprised how light the mixed in color can be to make a little effect on the black. When we metal flaked the Jeep, we flaked, then candied and then cleared and it was not as consistent as the camaro job with the blend. Even this grandma can handle a few chips and scratches with professional tools and instructions.Yes, base clear. I will definitely recommend your business.
