is an epic Alpha Custom Color with the best aspects of 3 of the best paint types.. Candy, pearl, and colorshift! That's Right - Alpha has innovated the paint world AGAIN with this new color! An easy to spray candy pearl basecoat with vibrant colorshifting properties that is unlike anything else on the market. This is a "Candy Pearl" basecoat BUT covers significantly better than the traditional candy pearl. This has 5x the amount of pearl which we formulated to give much better coverage without sacrificing the candy effect. This is a reddish purple with hues of purple, red, wine, and gold.
This color is best over a black sealer as shown on the speedshape in photos.
All of our Alpha Custom Color Basecoats are bound in a specifically formulated binder that has pigment control (to avoid striping or mottling), great UV Resistance, crystal clear, and great pearl suspension.
Basecoat Recommendation :Black Sealer for full coverage

This is an Acrylic Urethane Basecoat.
Yes, this is a basecoat paint which needs a high quality clearcoat sprayed over top of it for durability and shine. We recommend AC-4521 or any of the other Alpha Automotive Clearcoats on our website.
Yes - our paints work great on calipers, engine blocks, and valve covers!
You have an 8hr recoat window. If its over 8hrs - scuff with a gray scuff pad , spray another coat of base, then continue as normal with the project.
We would recommend you either adding Diamond pearls into the base coat or ideally spray our Diamond pearl midcoats over top. Over top will give you the most effect while also not changing the color as much as mixing it. Also mixing it in you will need quite a bit of pearl to be able to see it.
Flows out of a .5 or larger. Any smaller it MIGHT have to be further reduced
The color even looks better in person and the shipping was fast. will continue to get my paint from yall!
