Almost done but changing colour

<< < (2/5) > >>

SumpMagnet:
How about Candy Glory Red?

Honda paint code R-101C-U

Beautiful deep red colour....just thought I would mention it, as I have been looking for touch up p[aint for my Hornet, and that's it's colour. Would suit a CB

That looks nice but just checked and it's 3 stage and not confident enough with rattle cans - done 2 stage metallic for years with decent results

K2-K6:
It's not until you see it painted that the effect becomes clear of the grey tone.

It has "de-saturated" it in colour terms,  a bit like they ran those Ducati adverts some time ago by making all the picture tones monochromatic but leaving the Ducati bright red to really leap from the picture.

Notice how the colour contrast along the top of tank and seat against the green grass gives it back some form.

"Blacking" the tire walls with boot polish and refinishing the tank badge would probably lift it a little.  Less directly flat lighting to give it more contrast and accentuate form would probably help for it's advertising shots too  :)

philward:
Anyone done 3 stage from an aerosol with any success?  Or, can anyone suggest a 2 stage metalic that is near to the K1/K2 Candy Ruby Red or the Candy Gold (not sure what thats called!)
Want to get paint ordered this weekend to sort next weekend as away in our first motorhome the week after - we bought it a week before lockdown!

Menno:
I did this with only aerosols.
It was in 2004 - an experiment.
Tried the same with gold but that didn't work out at all.
Wasn't cheap there were these very small aerosol cans. I needed really a lot of them.

Problem with candy added to clear in aerosols is that it starts to react and doesn't dry properly.
Ah... well. Making candy paint in the first place isn't easy. Getting it propperly on... neither.
