Re: My Black with blue pearl , with silver pearl stripes, and blue metal flake paint 8 Attachment(s) im having some issues and didnt even paint the engine bay today anyways i started with 8 grams of pearl on the black base but it wasnt enough eventually i got upto 35 grams of pearl per sprayable quart of paint we were testing on my junk iroc hood which honestly wasnt preped very well so it will look like tons of orange peel but we just wanted to get a feel for how much pearl to add anyways heres some pics the hood right before we sprayed it Attachment 338189 black base with 35 grams of pearl per quart and one coat of clear ( indoors in the shade) it shows up jet black just like it should Attachment 338190 then we took the hood outside , and it shows up the blue pearl and metalic in it looks ok from this angle ( not enough pearl yet trying to get a deeper blue when in the sun) Attachment 338191 then we switch angles and u can see striping everywere Attachment 338192 then from this side it looks even again Attachment 338193 anyways i ran out of paint trying to get it right and had a bunch of clear left so i threw some pearl in just the clear and sprayed it over the black primer i love the color but it doesnt give me the color changing effect i want it looks like its got stripes and squares in it but thats because i sprayed 4 different mixtures of clear and pearl in the same area upclose so u can see the color Attachment 338194 and far away so u can see the different mixtures Attachment 338195 this was the first area i did with the pearl in the clear and then went over it with some small metal flake in the clear , like the effect but the metal flake color was to dark compared to the pearl Attachment 338196 anyways i have a much more experianced friend comming by so we can see if he can spray without getting any striping , if he can were going to paint the car with the pearl in the black base like the first few pics except go from 35 grams a quart to 50 to bring out the blue more if we cant get that to spray without striping i will spray the whole car black then mix the pearl in the clear and spray the car the color that u see in the last 3 or so pics since we know we can get that to come out even maybe somone here can help me figure out why we are getting the stripes in the black base blue pearl mix |
Re: My Black with blue pearl , with silver pearl stripes, and blue metal flake paint we have tried different overlaps, different air presures , moving faster or slower etc and they just wont go away it almost seems like the stripes are comming in on the very edge of the spray pattern on both the top and bottom of the spray the gun has a 1.5 tip in it and please dont hound me about the organge peel and bad prep i know about it, the hood was a junk hood and was only preped enough to test painting on before i tried to spray the actual car i can promise u the car will be preped 1000x better |
Re: My Black with blue pearl , with silver pearl stripes, and blue metal flake paint I'm Goin wit the same color scheme using Barrett Jackson jet black thur Sherman Williams.... keep up the good work |
Re: My Black with blue pearl , with silver pearl stripes, and blue metal flake paint I always put the pearl in the base it just works out better that way you can buff the clear out without creating those strips and your problem may be that you are applying wet coats wet coats can create a mottle effect witch can make it look like a stripe or spots with pearl you need to apply medium coats so that they are even PS they make spray out cards that you can use so you don't use so much material to test your color |

Re: My Black with blue pearl , with silver pearl stripes, and blue metal flake paint 1 Attachment(s) you have to spray a little bit faster and overlap 75% give that a try. and by faster I mean you are spraying light med coats. works best with pearls and metallic learn how to walk the entire side of the car. you cannot spray pearl or metallic panel by panel. do some practicing because laying down a pearl paint job takes GREAT BALLS |

Re: My Black with blue pearl , with silver pearl stripes, and blue metal flake paint im not even going to try again even though we identified and fixed the issue we were having. i just got back from my local body shop and as long as i have the car fully preped and ready to go including masked off they will spray it for 250$'s i think that prices is worth it alone just for the fact the car will be in a real paint booth not the homemade one we made instead of custom mixing my paint i just ordered a whole kit of midnight blue pearl which should be close to what i was going for |
