Blending a 3 stage colour can be tricky at the beginning but there are a few key points that if followed correctly it will make your life a lot easier and results will improve greatly, even experienced painters run into problems now and then but it’s how we overcome the issue that determines if you are a good or great painter, this job was no exception so watch me overcome a problem to finish with an awesome finish.

The Importance of Colour Matching Pearl Paint
The colour matching stage is extremely important and if I had not of got that stage right then I would have had big dramas with this job so check out the Video & Blog I have made on How to Colour Match a 3 Layer Pearl.
G’day Gun Man. Like your reviews, very helpful. I have just bought a SATAjet 5000 B RP because I’m after peel free finishers. Got it from Italy for au$634.60 + $77.60 shipping,10 days to get here.What size needle and nozzle set would you recommend for 2 pack base and clear coats? Also pressure settings. Keep up the good work. Regards, Rodney.
Great information thanks , painted a bumper same color as your video now I know what I did wrong
Hi Gunman. I have watched lots of you videos and learnt a great deal, thanks. I am not a professional spray painter, but I really enjoy painting.
Recently my partner scratched her car which is painted in starlight pearl W13 being the code. I went to a local automotive paint suppliers and got the ground coat and pearl to paint over the scratch. The scratch was only about 5cm long by 1cm wide which obviously got bigger as I sanded ready to spray. When I sprayed the ground coat, it looked much lighter than what was already on the car, and after spraying the pearl over the ground I got a dark area around where I had sprayed. Any suggestions as to where I went wrong would be much appreciated. However, knowing my limitations I think I will ultimately take the car to be professionally sprayed.
On a closing note which I appreciate is an extremely long shot, I live north side of Brisbane, do you know and could recommend a decent spray painter where I could get her car repaired. As I said, an extremely long shot, but thought I would just ask.
Thanks and regards, Roger Graham
