BLUE Paint Jobs?

[unbludictable]

Just in a rush! I though I could cut and paste!

But, isn't that a cool, wet looking paint job? Only if it was blue?

Any paint can look like that. That's just the clear coat

[unbludictable]

Really? That shows how much I know!!!

About how many clear coats can do this?

Two coats of clear is really all thats needed, and often all thats recommended..it can be layered on for more depth, but how "wet" it stays looking, depends on the quality of the buffing, and the quality of the wax/glaze, as well as how often its waxed..

you can actually have too much paint film on the vehicle.  I agree with werewolfx13, two coats is all you need to color sand and buff.  I put down three coats of clear because I get alot of trash in my paint jobs.  I just love burrying all that junk under the clear

The Viper blue is a really nice blue. So is the Intense Blue Dodge has produced on it's Rams and Dakotas in the late 90's and early 2000's. But if you aren't into metallics, that might be difficult. Not really sure of a nice solid-color blue. Most factory blues have been metallics for quite a while as far as I know.

not to high-jack this thread, but Vile, where did you get that grill from? that looks really cool. i like the hidden lights look. how well do they work at night though?

as for paint, i like my rattle can doors and fenders. after about 10 or 15 more cans, the rest of the truck should be done. i just don't have anyplace that i can paint my truck with a real gun where i won't have leaves, bugs, and sand blown into it. as was mentioned before, i have heard that the clear helps make the paint look wet and deep.

Phantom Grill, it works pretty good at night. As far as painting outside, just set up a tent or tarp. I did a paint job outside at night with a drop light one time and it came out awesome! lol

Man Vile, I love that truck.   Indigo Blue on the 01 Chevy trucks is dark and gorgeuos, but has microflake in it as well. It really looks good on these trucks, and in some instances actually looks black.
