trouble matching stratomist blue

tanger 57 Nexa (ICI ) Best kept secretin paint world! Matches better than PPG. That's why they bought the company.

 

Cross draft booths might be alright when it's warm. But it gets to -40 out here so air makeup is ideal lol but sounds good I'll pm you

 

Says your inbox is full

 

sorry Tanger it's empty know!

 

send me your address I'll send you spray out

 

DP 60 is blue epoxy. Why not use under blue base ?

That's a great idea ! Your basecoat (sealer) being Blue under your stradomist. Because the sun will find that sealer on a sunny day ! good foundation!

 

Epoxy isn't the greatest sealer to use. 2K urethane sealer is a better choice, and easy to make in any color a person wants.

 

Your spray out card is on it's way the back side of the (metal) spray out card has gray primer on it that's the color I sprayed over. paint reacts differ when sprayed on paper. No white pearl in this color all old metallics. this mixing bank is only 3 months old it's all new toners! and that 974 toner that the discontinued . I found 4qts unopened . So if you like the panel . we will find a way to get you paint to the great white north .

 

i plan on using sikkens colorbuild plus primer over top of my epoxy to help with leveling everything and i can make it any color i desire so thats a bonus too!

 

X2, even current colors are a crap shoot trying to match, they're either to light, too dark, too coarse, too fine, too green, red, blue, brown, etc, hell, even black is sometimes too red, or blue:eek2: Not to mention colors with pearl in them!
Being a painter, one thing I've learned is color is all in how its perceived, I see green, you see more red, he see's a flop to blue when he stands to the left, its damn frustrating

 

Tanger57 I have Sikkens Colorbuild on my 72 Stage1. It's a Great Primer! I put 4 coats on all parts on top of Standox epoxy. But after I blocked all the parts. I put 3 coats of a tighter niched primer ( not heavy build ) Acually it was a standox primer sealer that you could mix (4 to 1 ) witch made it more denser/ thicker than the sealer. Boy it payed off!

 

Stradomistblue72 did ya get your spray out panel?

 

You have me confused with Tanger57 who started the thread.

 

you are correct! I apologize . I'm cornfuzed. I breath paint fumes all day long ! for 30 yrs.

 

I'm high on polyisociainates.

 

Tanger57. Can't believe you don't have that spray out panel yet! they must have used a old horse to get that sent to you! oh well probably hear from you tomorrow . hope yor happy

 

Tanger57 did you get panel?

 

Still haven't got the panel, I'm back in my home town on the weekend. I'll let you guys know when I get the panel. Sorry for the delay

 

Just to let you guys know I got the spray out, it's pretty close, especially considering its with no tinting and not being able to see the actual vehicle. It's a little on the lighter side and I feel my sikkens color is closer so so far I'll stick with my own
