I Thought this is a gorgeous tone of blue... talked to the owner, he said it's a Honda Motorcycle catalog colour but didn't say the code... just said it's a triCoat paint. So my doubt is How do you make a triCoat paint look like this ?

If someone has enough patience, i ask for a How to since the prepping till the final wetsand...

thanks in advance.

 

u can make a single stage look like that. it dont matter. just sand it real good before paint. im sure u can find that color in any paint type u want.

 

Looks similar to Electron Blue Pearl that you'll find on 99-00 Civic Si's.

 

Tri coats are easy to spray when doing completes. Get full coverage with the bottom coat, 1st base coat, then apply around 2 coats of the mid coat, 2nd base coat/ effect coat then clear.

The pics don't do justice to the paintjob. When you stand next to the car and see, it looks similar to a "Candy Blue" paint but it's not... it's a normal color...

i can't explain the effect... it looks like a "deep" paint... you see and it looks like there's like 10 coats of paint in the car...

 

You can never make a full judgment from interweb pictures and thats a fact.

i agree the car was probly heavly coated with clear and just detailed to perfection...
