My color ?

Well after several different tries I believe this is the one . House of kolors planet green candy basecoat with a fx pack over black base .I tried several different bases because I wanted a little lighter green but the info said the best results would be over black and imagine , they were right . It's hard to get the full effect with photo's but it's pretty awesome in the sun .

It's meant to mimic a candy paint without the crazy amount of coats (2 medium wet over whatever base color you want ). I tried it over silver , gold and white in the sun it's fairly similar but the pop or flop is much more significant with the black .

Looks good, did you use the BC-25 base or KD-3001? I have used Planet Green in other mixes before but never sprayed it straight, it is a beautiful shade of green and the effects are stunning. BTW, which FX pak did you use?

That's just over some single stage black I was spraying anyways , just wanted to see what the effect was I have to find my bill its too long ago to remember which fx pac . But I like how it really flops nice in the sun . I'm not sure if the gloss under it would make any difference or not will definitely try black base before I start doing the truck . I was initially hoping a dark sealer would work but that will be more experimenting . I'm along way from paint this is more to keep me motivated .
