Question for the Paint guys
With any luck I should be ready to paint my bed this weekend. I'm going to be using Chroma One SS urethane.
Haven't picked up the paint yet, will probably do that wends. When I was at the paint store last week I asked if they made any pre-mix whites in Chroma 1 and was told no basicallly they have to add a couple of tints to any white (I've watched them mix it a couple of tmes).
That got me wondering if just the base paint they mix the tints in could be used straight and if it wouldn't be me a brighter white (and something very easy to match if I ever have to).
Anyone ever try this before?I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....

I use a base mixing white from R&M, for graphics. Your store should be able to mix it without the tints & toners...no prob. Just wear sunglasses when you wash it! :-)

Thanks Jay
"....Just wear sunglasses when you wash it!....." sounds like what I'm after.I've NEVER seen a car come from the factory that couldn't be improved.....
Ditto on the model kits! My best were lost when the Hobby Shop burned under suspicious circumstances....
How did you get hooked on cars?
