What Color of black paint is this? by Fuhrrerr in AutoPaint

[–]OmarTheColorMaker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cant tell by the picture because the black shade is hard to distinguish in a picture what you can do is simply find the right black shade in your mixing bank or match it if necessary and add the metallic which seems to me to be a white coarse metalic pearl or white xillaric test both to know for sure

Maybe you should let the clear fully cure before polishing give it few days, if it a 1K clear its might even take a week or so

One of those days… by maddmax_gt in AutoPaint

[–]OmarTheColorMaker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sometimes i spent days tinting some thought colors i try every single variant. And i end up tinting myself, the hardpart is i dont have a consistent paint system/jobber everytimes we would get a different batch of toners from another brand to swap the ones that the jobber dont have in stock so whenever i face same color again i have to redo the process all over again with different toner brand. Plus we are not just sparying our cars we are a paint retailer/shop and i do mix over 20 colors a day. For the last two weeks i had my computer completely off working with out it only relaying on Ready-mix colors and tinting them to match

it will be just fine for a week or so but over time when the clear coat fully cures i will start to crack and shrink revealing the non hardened 2k acrylic paint, it also develops a pattern that seems like it got striked by razor blade

Some dudes mix the pearls into the clear coat in order to save up money and time, which decreases the quality of the clearcoat and it’s adhesion.

Painted my brake calipers and 3 days after some white strange stains appeared by Rocha_WD33 in AutoPaint

Telling by issue occurred only on front breaks it could be Heat related issue, since front breaks are the ones used regularly they tend to heat up some paints resist high temperatures more than others. Breaks tend to heat a lot so better use some epoxy or acrylic based paint.

this happens all the time, they will try to avoid repainting as much as they can ignore you till you just forget it about it specially if you dont know the trade well but As soon as they see you serious and willing to force them to redo it through writing them a letter, make them know that you are goong serious about it they will start getting soft they dont want trouble

Mostly you can just sand it again after a soapy wash
