They mix our Wicked White and Red to create that beautiful custom light pink color that is an absolute winner—the outcome of the custom mix they did looks playful without being too girly or childish. To complete the look of this ride, they topped it with our Diamond Silver Pearl to add a bit of sparkle to the already beautiful light pink color!

Installer: Finest Dips

Coating: DipYourCar

Pigments needed for this look:

- Diamond Silver Pearl over Custom Light Pink (Wicked White + red)

Like all of our pearl pigments, Diamond Silver can be used in Alpha Automotive Paint or other traditional automotive paint, epoxy resin for woodworking and other art, nail polish, plastisol, Autoflex Coatings, Performix Plastidip, Halo efx, DYC Proline, waterbased airbrush paint, slime, bed liners, powder coat and MANY other applications! 

These colors are available in Automotive Paint & Aerosol Spray Cans as well.

This project uses an Alpha Custom Color basecoat, bound in a special binder for pigment control, UV resistance, and excellent pearl suspension. The basecoat mixes 1:1 with an AR-30xx reducer for smooth application and consistent coverage. Our AP-7541 DTM Primer-Sealer provides outstanding adhesion, flexibility and fast drying, while the AC-4521 HS Glamour Clearcoat adds long-lasting gloss, UV protection and durability.

Project Step-by-Step Guide

  1. Complete your prep, body work, primer, and sanding following our video tutorials.
  2. Block-sand the exterior panels with 320 grit sandpaper and scuff door jambs, engine bay and tight areas with a red scuff pad.
  3. Blow off all dust outside and wipe down with wax & grease remover.
  4. If applicable, paint the door jambs and engine bay first, then wait 24 hours before moving on to the exterior.
  5. Re-mask and wipe down the project with anti-static wax & grease remover.
  6. Mix and spray one medium wet coat of AP-7541 DTM Primer-Sealer (4:1:1 ratio) using a 1.4 mm needle spray gun.
  7. After the sealer is 100% dry to the touch, wait at least an hour.
  8. Mix and spray your basecoat colour directly over the sealer (most colours require 2–4 coats for coverage/effect).
  9. Wait until the basecoat is dry to the touch before recoating.
  10. After the final basecoat is dry, wait 45 minutes.
  11. Mix and spray 2–3 coats of AC-4521 HS Glamour Clearcoat (2:1 ratio). Recoat when the previous coat is just tacky (fingerprints).
  12. Let cure for 12 hours in a warm, ventilated area.
  13. If wet sanding & buffing, leave masked for that process; otherwise unmask & assemble.
  14. Enjoy your newly painted project!
