I'm going to paint my truck with HOK paint also. Have you ever sprayed it before? I'm a little nervous because I want to paint my truck to root beer but I've heard it can be a PITA to get it even. Just wondering what your thoughts are on it. Thanks!

shortbed70 · 11-08-2012, 11:50 PM

I've sprayed heavy metallics and pearls and one candy job. Being this is a candy copy (shimmering base with pearls) its just like laying down a heavy pearl basecoat. I'm nervous every time I start to paint something... Follow the mixing directions and be in te correct temp and also pay close attention to flash time!!

Oh ya, I've sprayed a lot of cars/planes. I have an $800 Iawata gun that sprays really nice! Spray guns make a huge difference. I like the color you picked, should look killer!

shortbed70 · 11-09-2012, 12:10 AM

I run a Iwata supernova ls400! Color is kbc-11 apple red... Picture doesn't really show it off very well it's bad a.. Can't wait to see it in the sun.

Yours will turn great, I like the color. It should really pop in the sun.

I would like to leave it this way but paint the interior the same color as under hood because it would only cost me $150 to paint the outside again versus $110 qt with reducer!! Plus wife wants it all candy and why she wants she usually gets lol!!!

Thanks, that's why House of Kolor is what it is!! It still looks like I just painted it even though I used a different clear than theirs under hood. I am still undecided what clear to use on the exterior. I love diamont RM clear but HOK clear is supposed to be very nice!
