base coat / clear coat made by 'Dupont'
Purchased from Automotive Paint on M-97 in Roseville, Mi
Chromabase B/C DM 481 K = Blue - used for the main body
Chromabase B/C LM 557 K = Silver - used for the main body mixed with the blue also used for my stripe's
Chromabase B/C 99 K = Black - used for the black out on the rear panel and the outline of my stripe's
Added a light mix of powdered blue pearl in the clear coat over the silver of my stripe's.
Hand painted the stripe's and Hand made my stencil's used for the lettering on the sides to resemble the Original
Hockey strip with a little touch of my son's creativity.
*Really we were trying to get a color something like my engine bay turned out of a Silvery Reflecting Blue.
shown in this pic. look at the passenger inner fender.
ended up with this color on the car now by mistake. after shooting her two times. the first time I shot at night
and a large moth landed right in the roof and rolled down to the top quarter. Second time after the repair and
wet sanding, ended up with two runs. So now short on my Blue material, decided to add in the rest of the silver
to gain the 3/4 gallon needed for the spray since I now was into a new color change.
This decision was made because this was on a weekend with the store closed and wanting to get the paint layed.
was running out of time, this was fall time in november only one day left for good weather to get my clear coat's on.
1.4 tip @ apx. 40lbs
medium sprayed apx. 12" - 14" away left to right straight on sweep motion.
after the whole car was sprayed and settled apx. 20min. I then came back with
a more refined mix with more silver added in.
I fine misted the last layer apx. 24" away with a very light dusting spray in hope to bring out the metal flake.
primer used on the main body was buff.
primer used in the engine bay was white. ( must be why the blue was more lighter in this area. )
