Anyone painted a new 13 plate clio or renault with the above paintcode ? How did you get on ? We have had a bit of trouble with a bumper repaint and to be fair the colour was way off and we wasnt going to charge the customer,he came down had a look and said it was a great job ! Payed us and left a £10 tip !
Just wondered how you guys get on with it,on our system we had to base up silver first then top coat transparent red and clear so a 3 stage.carl.What kind of paint system are you using? I dont know of any paint codes that have to be sprayed like this in Standox Standoblue. There is a option for it but usually a pretty good match can be achieved with the mix as a 2 stage containing zoorilic pearls and transparent tonners.
Hi mate we use mipa solvent which isnt good with some colours,it wasnt on our system so we caled paint manufacturer and they gave us the formula,but it was too orange when the colour is more like candy red.
I think I did one this colour a little while ago and had no problems using debeer solvent base. It was 3 stage though I think.
Yea mate our paint system is piss poor with these kind of colours,it does the standard run of the mill stuff ok i suppose but anything a little funky and it struggles !
Use to work for renault its a 4 stage on our system Using ixcel Water. Not that bad if read the data sheet.
4 stage? whats the process for that? :wak
Sliver base
Red candy
Tinted clear
Clear to blend.its shit the way data sheet says it tbh
He guys,
I had to paint this color today. Our customer complained by the Renault dealer that the bumpers didnt match the rest of the car. The car was new from factory. He won the case and came to us for the repair. And he was right, the bumpers were to light/trantsparent in comparison with the rest of the car. To bad i didnt take a picture to show u guys.At my shop we work with Nexa autoclor/ PPG Envirobase. I used my photospectrometer (don’t know if this is the right translation 😉 ) and i picked the best one that came out. It was a C(x2) wich means it is two times cleaner then the No.1 color. I sprayed some cards wich were not to bad. If i could blend the panels i would use the color right away. So we did a little adjustment to the transparent layer. A bit more orange pearl/metallic (fireside copper xr-16). Sprayed a card again with the right amounts of transparent coats and i was good to go.
Tommorow the bumpers will be installed and i will take some pictures to show u guys.
This is the base color, its a pink metallic.
Bumpers in pink base
My colleague painting the transparent layer. 3 coats with a 30 cm distance at a slow speed.
The difference between coats
Almost there 😉
So its a pretty weird color, but it worked out fine eventually.
Goodluck everybody in the future;)EDIT:
This is the result. In the picture it may seem the color is a bit off, but in reality it was near perfect.
Nice work , we have a new Mazda 6 here in Australia very similar colour can’t remember the code though which was a real pain. The old bloke here at work doing the job had no luck matching it so he got the paint rep in . How do you find the PPG envirobase, is it working well for you? We’re looking at going waterborne very soon,still on Standox solvent was curious to know how your doing with it.
The PPG Envirobase is almost exactly the same as the Nexa Autocolor. I work with Nexa since the day i started painting. Here in the Netherlands almost every company is painting with waterbased paint. My company started in 1991 with the first waterbase. So for me i dont know really better and im painting for about 5 or 6 years now. I did some work with solvent based paints a couple of times. For me it seems not bad. I think solvent needs more coats to cover and is more difficult to spray. Especially the last coat (dont know how to say in english, i think it is orientation coat? )is harder to spray nice and even and not ”cloudy”. But that is only my opinion.
If you have Standoblue it’s not a problem at all . Application is in 4 stage :
1.Standox VOC Filler
2.Standoblue Base in 1,5 passes ( full coat + imm. “dust” coat )
3.Standox VOC Extra Clear tinted with additive Transparent Red and Light Red
4.Standox VOC Extra Clear normal applicationBlending in is a pain in the ass but it can be done
