Title: sem paint fx series
Post by: project85 on March 27, 2011, 08:13:05 pm

I want to paint my truck with the sem ultra violet color. http://www.kolorhouse.com/sem-33042.html.  has anyone used this product before? I like how the tiles look, just curious if anyone has done their truck with one of the sem fx colors??

I used a blue on my s10, check with the jobber for any tips. I added mine to the clear for the first 2 coats then sealed it with 2 more coats of just clear. I did mine over a black base. looked great kinda flopped from black to blue depending on how the light was. Next time I think I would mix it in with the base coat and "walk the truck" with the gun to avoid any striping or color differences from overlapping the panels. just my .02 cents and hope i didnt confuse you more

To avoid striping you need to go back over the panel or panels that you just sprayed with a fast light coat at a 45 degree angle to the direction you sprayed after at the least the last two coats.
