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:

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%

    • Hope you aren't too sore after that one, might take a day or 2 to notice yet and I guess it is a loooooong drive home. On the bright side, tube frame front end is a thing at superlap, right?

    • The chart of front pressure to rear pressure (with one being on the x axis and the other being on the y axis) is not a straight line on a typical proportioning valve. At lower pressures there is a straight line with one slope, and at higher pressures that changes to a lower slope. That creates a bend in the line at that pressure, called the knee point. If you do not change the proportionng as the pressure gets higher, you will suffer excessive pressure (at one end of the car or the other, depending on which way you look at the proportioning action) and then get lockups at that end. The HFM BM57, from my memory of previous discussions, is based on the BM57 from a different car (to a Skyline), with a different requirement for the location of the knee point and the distribution of pressure front to rear, and so is not a good choice for an upgrade on a Skyline. Here's a couple of links to some old posts, one from here, one from elsewhere. A lot of it pertains to adjustable prop valves, but the idea is the same. There are plenty of discussions on here about this issue from al the many years of people wanting a cheap/accessible option. https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/ https://grassrootsmotorsports.com/forum/grm/learn-me-brake-proportioning-valves/236880/page1/
