  • Ah fuck that. The Hoolet MTB I posted on the other page is colour matched to Porsche 414 Earth Olive.

    I spent two weeks phoning around Porsche restorters after the usual supplier could only supply singlestage 1K. Specifically asking for basecoat and not 1K singlestage or 2K.

    All but one said aye, got it, stupidly didn't do a test tube because it was a lunchtime project, and it was bloody 2K. Sprayed it thinking it was basecoat and as it stayed glossy and didn't flash off knew I was in trouble.

    Hassle to strip back to the primer but managed to mix a pretty close match out of what we had in stock.

    Single colour though is my jam. Unless its black. Because fuck black.

  • Not much more annoying than 2k. Maybe matte.

    Finishing tests should be paint two bikes, one black with white decals, one white with black decals. Nowhere to run, nowhere to hide.

    I'd have mixed something up, but am colour blind so that never ends well...

  • I thought if you had a colour code that any type of paint can be mixed to the colour you want.
