Dupli-Color (BSP204-2 PK 'Paint Shop' Deep Blue (Metallic) Finish System Base Coat - 1 Quart, (Case of 2)

Paint went on pretty good and was easy to work with. I was frustrated that I couldn’t find a picture of the midnight blue so I uploaded a picture of mine. I would use again and recommend. I used 5 quarts of paint and 3 quarts of clear coat. 4 quarts of paint would do it if you don’t have a lot to cover up.

I posted a picture so you can see that you can get good results with this product, if you properly prep, spray, and can final cut and buff.Few things I have learned: this will get destroyed, almost instantly by gas. Even with 5 coats of clear, and about 4 weeks of curing before we even installed, still damaged it beyond repair with just a few drops.Second, buy Dupli-Color specialty reducer, and mix with all of the paint shop colors at 8:1 (paint:reducer), it sprays, and lays down just perfect.Third, because this isn't an 'activated' paint, you can save what you don't use, either using interchangeable cups systems, or pour into a sealable container (NOT back into the can if it still has something in it.Fourth, the Dupli-Color clear is adequate, however it does not flow and cover like newer products, nor is it going to be a great finish without some buffing. We used 1500, 2000 and 3000 grit sandpaper by hand, followed by 3M Rubbing Compound and 3M Ultrafine Machine Polish on Yellow and Grey foam pads respectively.Lastly, when you think you have enough coats, in particular with the clear coat when you'll be cutting and buffing, do more. Like double. The thickness is not great, so it requires additional coats to prevent burn through when final finishing.This was painted without a paint booth, using only the Paint Shop system, the DeVillbiss Starting line guns, and exclusively 3M finishing products.

I bought this paint for a replacement Honda Civic bumper cover. Most of the other paints I looked at were much more expensive ($80 or more), and I just wanted something cheap that would approximately match the car's existing green metallic paint. I was prepared for it looking just ok, as I wasn't going to prime or add a clear coat.After spraying the first coat with a cheap ($45) Lowe's compressed air spray gun, I was surprised at how great it looked. The paint was perfectly smooth and the metallic sheen really stood out. I added 3 more coats. The paint color is slightly lighter than the car's original color, but pretty good considering it's not supposed to be a perfect match anyway. The job required less than half of the 32 oz. container.This was my first time using a sprayer and the results came out way better than my expectations. The body shop wanted $350 just to paint my new bumper, but I did it for less than $60, including the cost of the spray gun.

WARNING, This advertised Candy Apple Red paint is FALSE. The image on the can of paint shows a depth of red that someone would consider it to be a candy paint. The instructions on the can is self stats that there is no thinning required and you will get the desired look of this product. Candy paints are translucent paint meaning you can see through it to the base coat of silver metallic, which is also advertised on this product as a system.Start of use of this "system"Started with primer layer which laid down good, no issues.Started laying down 3 coats of silver metallic basecoat, layed down good, no tiger stripping, no issues.Started laying down there "Candy Apple Red"First thin layer completely covered the metallic base coat and no metallic could be seen through this paint.The paint as is, is about 5% transparent. This product is being falsely advertised as Candy Apple Red, even the image on that can shows a color which is not capable of producing which is also false advertising.Tho the price point is low, you will be completely disappointed with this product and you will have wasted time and money.I'm writing this long review because even tho somehow this product is got 4 stars and I don't think its based on honest reviews and I dont want others to fall for this trap as I did.

I used this to paint a Honda VTX, and I'm really happy with the results. Warning: this is lacquer paint, and it can react with any non-lacquer paints, especially if the paint isn't real old. Use the lacquer primer with this system. I didn't take my bike down to bare metal, and it caused a few small reactions with this paint.It sprays very easily, and isn't inclined to run, which makes it a great option if you're doing this for the first time, like I was. I didn't do a real great job of spraying, and I think my needle was too small (1.2mm), but after wet sanding and buffing, it came right to life.Warning: don't overuse acetone to thin this clear. I tried to stretch the last little bit by thinning it some with acetone, and it fogged my final coat of clear. It did improve after several hours, but the places I sprayed the overly thinned product don't look as good as the rest of the panels.I used one can for my bike, and that was plenty to wet sand, cut, and buff.

It is a lot thinner than any other car paint I've used. The good thing is you don't need to add lacquer thinner so you can spray it straight out of the can. The downside for me was I was unable to use it as a marble effect via hydro dip; it was just too thin. I ended up just using this as the base coat, and the color turned out great.The consistency is like thin chocolate milk.

I did not realize how little the can actually was.. for some reason I thought I was getting a gallon (primarily because of price) I received the paint realized I made a mistake and I needed more paint.So I went to canadian tire to see about purchasing a gallon or 2 or any paint so I could just get my vehicle painted.To my surprise I found the exact same paint. in the 900 mil (32 ounce) cans for 49 dollars plus tax. So I bought 3 more cans to go with what I had. I wish I did not over pay for the initial 2 cans at 75 dollars a piece when I could have just went to canadian tire and got them for almost 30 dollars a can cheaper.DO NOT BUY look in other stores for the product.OH yea the paint I bought at canadian tire was regular every day price not a sale or anythingAGAIN DO not purchase go to a store and buy the same paint cheaper.

Everything was good

Bought it for a touch up paint for my car, couldnt use it because it was a lacquer base, made a more damage, didnt like it so thinned out either, more my mistake.
