Mastering Metallics: A Step-by-Step Guide to Applying Leafing Aluminum Flake Paint 46G

Описание: Dive into the world of auto refinishing with our detailed tutorial on the latest trend in the industry – leafing aluminum flake paint. With the rise in popularity of colors such as the sought-after Mazda 46G, Machine Grey Metallic, and Mercedes' iconic Alubeam Metallic, it's time to demystify this technique.

In this video, we delve deep into the application process of this unique aluminum flake, guiding you through the special procedures many manufacturers have developed. We’ll showcase how to attach the aurora paint light to a Sata 5000 HVLP and how to get the best results with the multi-step 46G, which requires a specific black groundcoat and a high amount of small, smooth aluminum flake.

Understand the nuances of preparation, including why manufacturers recommend sanding with a finer grit than usual, such as P1000. We’ll demonstrate how to apply the black basecoat as either a basecoat or sealer and discuss techniques for optimal blending.

We’ll compare and contrast various manufacturers' recommendations for the orientation coat and clear coat, including the application of a clear orientation coat or a 2-part clearcoat that needs to be sanded back down flat.

Learn about the different application recommendations for the flake itself, where techniques range from using a smaller tip size to applying it like any other basecoat. We’ll highlight the importance of the effect or drop coat and how to create a uniform, mottle-free look.

Finally, we’ll examine the recommendations for a light coat of clear or grip coat as a barrier before applying the next two coats, to prevent the flake from shifting and causing a blotchy look.

With this video, you’ll be well-prepared to follow the specific guidelines for the aluminum flake color you are using, ensuring a professional finish that stands out. Join us to master metallics and create show-stopping results!
