You'll need to buy thinners for it. Acrylic thinners is heaps cheap.

Considering it's Acrylic you dont need to put clear on it as i have been told.

and it's concept paint by KnH.

If it's basecoat you will need to clear it. If it's direct gloss you wont need to.

For the record Concept Paints make decent paint. They have their own line of products...

http://www.conceptpaints.com.au/ would be the place to go to check up. Just because if you get the wrong paint to paint a car with and you dont match the primer/basecoat/topcoat/clearcoat with the right hardener and thinners, the results can be tragic, which would be no good. From a quick check i cant see a metallic topcoat so i would think it is basecoat. But best to check.

Good luck with the sale, i hope ive helped :(

all metalics need a clear coat. be it 2pk or acrylic. unless you want to have a very dull paint which wont show much because the clear coat brings out the twinkle in metalics.

you can mix clear in with acrylic after the metalic has been thinned if you wanted to but still needs clear. best results is to mix in a bit of clear with the last colour coat and then apply clear coats over that.

how come your selling the paint? are you painting your car another colour now?

Nearly finished painting my 32 and I needed 6 litres of grey metallic, I doubt you'll get away with painting a whole car with 2 litres unless you do a VERY thin basecoat and a heap of clear. With acrylic, I reckon its good to do about three wet coats then another two double thinned coats to settle the flake, then around five clear coats to allow for sanding/buffing.

I suggest using a clear over it as it's easier to buff if you get scratches and stuff in it later, plus the clear over base gives the paint a really nice depth.

Would be a nice lot of paint for someone to buy for a motorbike respray :yes:

  • 2 weeks later...

I was meant to be 2Pk instead of aryclic because my primer was 2pk. so i grabbed the wrong kind of paint. Got my car done and EASILY got 3 coats out of 2L of paint!! You just add reducer making it 4L 50% 50%

    • Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.  
    • Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?
    • Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.
    • Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
    • I've been quietly following this thread for ages, but this one got me. Since my ADHD diagnosis (and associated learnings and prescription) I'm way less inclined to wade into forum yarns when there are better things to do with my time, as half the time I'd end up in some kind of forum debate even if that wasn't my intention. I've not lost the ADHD "superpowers", just am a lot better at directing my hyperfocus into slightly more constructive things, but haven't stopped quietly lurking in here in my spare time.
