HADES SUPERFLAKE PEARL OVER PITCH BLACK | AUTOFLEX COATINGS | PEELABLE PAINT | AUDI RS6

HIGH GLOSS HADES SUPERFLAKE PEARL AUDI RS6 AVANT

This car was taken to the next level by DipMyVehicle Group in the UK using our Hades Superflake Pearl and Autoflex High Gloss Coating.

This color is achieved by spraying a Pitch Black base, mixing out Hades SuperFlake Pearls into Clear at 10g/gal, and then applying a high gloss topcoat. This can be replicated using traditional automotive paint like Alpha Automotive Paint, Professional liquid wrap products such as AutoFlex Coatings (like shown), or even with standard liquid wrap products such as Plasti Dip , proline, or Halo EFX but will not give the same gloss finish as youd get with premium coatings or traditional paint.

What was used:

-Pitch Black Spray Wrap Pro Base

-10g/gal of Hades Superflake Pearl (20g total) into Spray Wrap Pro Clear basecoat

-High Gloss Finish using AutoFlex Coatings

This color is available in Automotive Paint, Aerosol Spray Cans & Vehicle Paint Kits 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!
