Last fall I thought I was going to finish painting what the previous owner started on the car I bought. It was started in Lamborghini orange. This is a pearl tri-coat (white, orange, clear) .
He told me the trick was to paint it white first. I did and nothing matched. I discovered his dad (who he got the car from and actually did the work) never painted it white as a base. It was just grey sealer. I had to respray the whole car white and go from there. I wasn't happy to buy more orange at $400 a quart. It now has a more brilliant color than before.
