laz Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 IIRC no, only SWP is 3 stage. Base, Pearl, Clear. X --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DJ Proez Posted October 15, 2007 Share Posted October 15, 2007 So the metallic flakes should be a part of the paint? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

laz Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 From what I seen the metal flakes are mixed in with the base coat. Only the SWP is a tri-colr (3 stage) paint. http://www.automotivetouchup.com/ When I look at DGM on this sit, it only has one base color, where the SWP has the two colors.

SlightlyEvil Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 A local paintshop told me that OBP was a 3 stage job too. Base, Flake, Clear. I thought any mica/fleck paint was 3 stage though... ? I know that Honda Prelude pearl white is too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
k2zeppelin Posted October 30, 2007 Share Posted October 30, 2007 If a paint has mica (or fleck) in it, that does not mean it's a 3 stage paint. Usualy if it is a "pearl" color it is 3 stage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whobaru Posted November 1, 2007 Share Posted November 1, 2007 I just had my front lip and eyelines painted with paint I had made to 33J (my paint code on the car). It came with the flakes in it and looks great! I'll be posting pics after the first Idaho install meet on 11/4. It was primer, color, clear. 15 coats total Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
