No matter if its base & clear or single stage what color of primer/ sealer will change the color,
Solids , metallics, candies , they all will change shades depending on what is under them.
Just using extra coats of color does not work if your trying to match, extra coats takes you to a deep or darker shade.
Solid black like a 9700 chrysler black is the only exception.
Jmho.
An you add more insight to your thoughts.Have to disagree.
Sorry hit post by accident.... post has been edited ...An you add more insight to your thoughts.
I hear what your saying, but we will disagree on this subject.Have to disagree. That would mean every color is translucent. Which just isn't true. Most spray out cards are white with a black line . Once your line is covered you now have black and white coverage. Now i will admit yellow or lime green or similar colors are translucent. You will never cover a black line with yellow.
The shade of primer will make coverage easier for sure but I can take 2 doors on a car. Have one primed white and one primed dark, once I have full coverage you will not be able to tell they were different . Are you fighting the color yes.... but it can be done
Ppg spray out cards we use.
Nice blue , 7 coats ? What was the Ford factory sealer shade ?
We have not used water borne systems,
With only a couple years left we decided not to.

The first time to rattle can a big block with the orange it surprised me how well it didn't cover and took 3 coats for it to start looking good.Factory prime was white which was odd to me.
Yes 7 coats for the black and white spray out card. It's is an on going complaint of ours that the sikken coverage is horrible with some of their colors. This is a prime example no pun intended . This , PBJ from dodge and b561p from Honda all terrible coverage.
But their color match is pretty remarkable especially the new reds on Mazda
