Slick Pete. Posted August 27, 2008 Author Share Posted August 27, 2008 I might be as thick as bird poop, but what is it ?? Its Automotive paint. ;) Its Ford Electric Orange by its proper title. often referred to as Focus hooligan orange;):cool: I was originally looking at a 2 colour scheme which involved proper "candy" paint. However I needed help in spraying the ink which is now not forthcoming:cry: So today I spent some time at the Motor factors deciding on a new scheme with their help And this was the result! Its still a 2 colour scheme with the orange on top part. Its a three stage paint system which I have never done before similar to the "candy" system. The important difference is in the second part where this has a coloured pearl as opposed to the translucent ink of the candy system. Im still not 100% sure I can hack it but Im giving it a go anyway. After prepping the shell in 2K primer and flatting it all back with 800 grit the process is.... 1. Orange basecoat... three separate coats. then straight to .. 2. Pearl orange/yellow basecoat.. three separate coats. Then on to... 3. 2K clear coat. Three full coats. Job done. flat back with 1500 and mop with G3 liquid Wish me luck!! Them two 500ml pots seat me back £40;) I dont wanna waste it!! LOL!
