Whether you're painting a full vehicle, a motorcycle, a guitar, or just touching up with a spray can — Toyota Lunar Rock is available for every project size. Each kit includes matched products sized for the job.
💡 Pro Tip
For best results spraying Toyota Lunar Rock, take your final basecoat passes from a slightly farther distance than usual — it lets the metallics lay flat and the pearl read at full effect. Lock it in with a wet, even clearcoat for the deepest finish.

Step 1: Strip and prep the body
Rose City Dip took the Toyota Tundra 1794 down to a clean working surface. For your build, remove all old paint, rust, and filler down to clean steel or a sound prior coating. Block-sand body lines straight, repair dents and imperfections, then work through progressively finer abrasives until the surface is uniform and ready for primer.
Step 2: Lay the DTM primer-sealer (black ground coat)
Mix DTM Primer-Sealer (AP-7541) at 4:1:2 with AH-7100 activator and Alpha urethane reducer to use it as a wet-on-wet sealer. Spray it for Toyota Lunar Rock — this is the ground coat the color was designed for, delivering full coverage, true hue, and color depth the basecoat was built to show. Tack the surface clean, lay even passes, and let the sealer set up before basecoat.
Step 3: Spray Toyota Lunar Rock basecoat
The Toyota Lunar Rock basecoat in the Toyota Lunar Rock Vehicle Paint Kit is ready to spray straight from the can — no reducer to mix. Tack again, then lay your Toyota Lunar Rock passes wet but controlled, building coverage gradually until uniform across every panel. Final basecoat passes can be slightly farther from the panel to let the metallics lay flat. Watch for stripes between passes and fix them while the basecoat is still working.
Step 4: Clear with HS Glamour
Mix HS Glamour Clear (AC-4521) 2:1 with AH-7100 — no reducer needed. Lay even, wet coats and let the clear flow out fully between passes. The 4521 is a high-solids 2K that buries the metallic surface and locks in depth.
Step 5: Cut, buff, and finish
Once the clear is fully cured, cut and buff to bring out the final wet shine. Color-sand any imperfections with a fine abrasive, then move through your buffing compounds to a finish polish.
