Product FAQ's
What is the mix ratio?
Mix Ratio: 1:1 (Basecoat: AR-30xx Reducer)
What is the Micron size?
30μm
What's everything I need to paint my project?
We sell complete paint kits for any size vehicle here: https://thespraysource.com/collections/all-car-kits. Just choose the color and answer 4 questions and we add all the products needed to complete the project!
What is this basecoat made out of?
This is an Acrylic Urethane Basecoat.
Does this paint need a clearcoat on top?
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.
Can you paint your calipers with this paint?
Yes - our paints work great on calipers, engine blocks, and valve covers!
What is the recoat & topcoat window for Alpha Automotive Basecoats?
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.
How can I add a Pearl effect of another color while not changing the end result color much?
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.
Is this ready to spray out of an airbrush or would it have to be thinned?
Flows out of a .5 or larger. Any smaller it MIGHT have to be further reduced
Is this paint a true Tri-Stage?
No, Cherrywood is a candy Pearl base coat so it is a lot more translucent than a traditional base coat but it gets sprayed over a black sealer and is still significantly easier to spray than a tri-stage or candy.

Cherrywood Spray Can

I’m not a professional painter, a welder by trade. This paint went on very nice, laid right down no complaints at all. The color was a little too brown for me but that doesn’t take anything away from the quality of paint. Good product for sure.
