PITCH BLACK | PEELABLE PAINT | NISSAN GTR
If you're a car enthusiast, then you probably know about the Nissan GTR. It's a legendary sports car that's been turning heads since its introduction in 2007. But have you ever seen a GTR with a glossy black pearl color and a Pitch Black sprayed on its roof and accents? If not, then you need to check this out! The Nissan GTR is already a stunning sports car, but with the killer job done by Get Dipped Services where they added our Pitch Black in a satin finish for this ride's roof and accents, it's taken to a whole new level of sophistication and style.
Installer: Get Dipped Services
Coating: Peelable Paint
Pigments needed for this look:
Like all of our liquid pigments that include "Alpha Tints" , such as Pearl Enhancers, RAL Drop-In Pigments, and Alpha Drop-In Pigments, Pitch Black can be used in Alpha Pearl & Candy Carrier or other traditional automotive paint, epoxy resin, Plastisol, Autoflex Coatings, Performix Plastidip, Halo efx, DYC Proline, bed liners, and MANY other applications (test prior to use)! This color is available in 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
- Complete your prep, body work, primer, and sanding following our video tutorials.
- Block-sand the exterior panels with 320 grit sandpaper and scuff door jambs, engine bay and tight areas with a red scuff pad.
- Blow off all dust outside and wipe down with wax & grease remover.
- If applicable, paint the door jambs and engine bay first, then wait 24 hours before moving on to the exterior.
- Re-mask and wipe down the project with anti-static wax & grease remover.
- 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.
- After the sealer is 100% dry to the touch, wait at least an hour.
- Mix and spray your basecoat colour directly over the sealer (most colours require 2–4 coats for coverage/effect).
- Wait until the basecoat is dry to the touch before recoating.
- After the final basecoat is dry, wait 45 minutes.
- Mix and spray 2–3 coats of AC-4521 HS Glamour Clearcoat (2:1 ratio). Recoat when the previous coat is just tacky (fingerprints).
- Let cure for 12 hours in a warm, ventilated area.
- If wet sanding & buffing, leave masked for that process; otherwise unmask & assemble.
- Enjoy your newly painted project!
