Description

Diamond Purple Spray Can

is a diamond pearl that reflects a sparkly and vibrant purple hue in the sun and when used at a low load, is hardly noticeable in the shade.
This color is great to accent the base coat whether it be a solid base or a pearl base, but can also create many amazing finishes when mixing or layering with other pearls. Over black you will get a rich purple effect like the Speedshape. Over any other Basecoat you'll get a "ghost" or "interference" style effect.

Your favorite pigments now in a spray can! Pre mixed and reduced, just shake it up and spray it over sealer or a properly prepped surface!

EFFECT OPTIONS:
1) Subtle: Best for slight effect that will provide a sparkle and slight pop of color to your base color or substrate. (provides a black / color flip effect with 1-2 coats over black basecoat)
2) Medium: Best over base colors that you want more pop of color and sparkle. Over black this is what would be used to get more of a full coverage look. Over other colors this is ideal for effect and sparkle.
3)Heavy: This gives the most pop of color and sparkle. Ideal over white or any other base color other than black. This should not be sprayed over black, as it will "White out" quickly.

Best over a Black Basecoat or any base color! ( if you need surface filling , Use Epoxy Primer & Sealer Spray Can 1k or sanded high build primer spray cans!)

This color is available in Automotive Paint, Dry Pigment & full vehicle paint kits as well.

This is a 1k basecoat and needs to be sprayed over the recommended Epoxy Sealer & topped with 2k HS Spray Can Clearcoats or any other 2k clearcoat.* These are Basecoat Midcoats ( 1k Midcoats ) Where the basecoat REALLY matters. We highly recommend sticking the basecoats we suggest above for best results. *

Application & Prep

STEP 1 – CLEAN THE SURFACE

1 - Wash with soap and water, rinse, and dry completely.

2 - Degrease using wax and grease remover or isopropyl alcohol.

3 - Wipe dry with a clean, lint-free towel.

STEP 2 – SCUFF / SAND FOR ADHESION

If Raw Plastic / Polyurethane: Evenly scuff bare plastic or raw surfaces. These will also need to be adhesion promoted prior to paint using our WolfBite Adhesion promoter.

If Good Condition OEM Paint: Sand smooth or glossy paint with P320-P400 grit sand paper or Scuff Pad until uniformly dull with no glossy areas.

If Surface Needs Bodywork or heavy scratches removed: Sand the damaged areas with 180 grit (feathered out into the panel) then do your bodywork. Finish in 220 Grit sanding. Then spot prime with high build primer - fading the primer out into the rest of the sanded panel covering the bodywork and any 220 grit scratches. (the good condition areas of the panel should have been sanded in 320-400 or scuff pad). Lastly, after the high build primer is dry and ready to be sanded (check tds for timeline), sand with 320-400 to match the rest of the panel.

After The above prep: Remove dust with compressed air or a clean microfiber towel.

STEP 3 – FINAL WIPE & TACK

1 - Wipe the surface again with isopropyl alcohol or wax and grease remover.

2 - Allow solvents to fully evaporate.

3 - Lightly wipe with a tack cloth immediately before spraying. Do not press hard. (optional but great step)

STEP 4 – SET UP YOUR SPRAY AREA

1 - Use a well-ventilated, well-lit area with good extraction fans

2 - Ideal conditions are 65–75°F (18–24°C) with 40–60% relative humidity.

3 - Keep the area free of open flames, sparks, or ignition sources.

4 - Wet the floor if your space allows to keep dust down

5 - Cover any items or areas in your space that you do not want to get overspray on

STEP 5 – PERSONAL PROTECTION

1 - Wear a respirator rated for organic or solvent vapors.

2 - Use nitrile gloves and safety goggles.

3 - Wear a paint suit

STEP 6 – SHAKE THE CAN

1 - Shake vigorously for 45–60 seconds.

2 - Invert the can several times while shaking to fully mix pigments and metallics.

STEP 7 – TEST SPRAY

ALWAYS DO A TEST SPRAY + SPRAY OUT CARD IF DOING OEM SPOT JOBS

1 - Spray on cardboard or a scrap panel.

2 - Confirm even spray pattern, correct color, and proper atomization.

3 - Adjust the spray can's nozzle to match your spray style or surface.

4 - If the can is not operating correctly, remove the cap completely, reseat it on the can, and twise the entire nozzle 360 degrees. Since our cans are made to order, sometimes there is slight paint build up and reseating the nozzle corrects this.

STEP 8 – SPRAYING TECHNIQUE

1 - Hold the can 5–6 inches from the surface.

2 - Keep the can perpendicular, 90 degrees to the panel at all times.

3 - Move at a steady speed using smooth, even passes. You are looking for medium wet coats NOT super wet, pooling coats.

4 - Overlap each pass by 50 percent.

STEP 9 – TRIGGER CONTROL

1 - Begin moving before pulling the trigger. Start off of the panel then move onto the panel. This avoids build up on edges.

2 - Fully depress the trigger while spraying.

3 - Release the trigger completely at the end of each pass.

4 - Stop spraying after clearing the panel edge by an inch.

STEP 10 – COATS & FLASH TIMES

1k Primer/Sealer

1 - Spray a medium wet coat on the entire panel (if not blending oem paint) to achieve a 75% coverage. This fills in the sanding scratches as well as gives a uniform , required ground coat color for the next steps.

2- Allow to flash dry for 5-15 minutes. Time depends on the product and environment.

3 - Apply the second medium-wet coat to achieve full coverage

4 - Allow to dry for 30 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish and is completely dry to the touch.

GROUNDCOATS or SOLID COLORS (BEFORE MIDCOATS IF APPLICABLE)

This is for our Base Black, OEM Undercoats or solid colored basecoats. Not all projects require this step.

1 - Apply the first medium-wet coat at approximately 75 percent coverage.

2 - Allow to flash 5-15 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish. Time depends on the product and environment.

3 - Apply the second medium-wet coat to achieve full coverage

4 - Allow to flash 5-15 minutes or until the wet look fades so a dull, even finish. Time depends on the product and environment.

5 - Apply a Third medium wet coat if the color is not 100% covered and even at this point. This will vary based on the color and product being sprayed.

4 - Flash another 15-30 minutes. Until the surface is even, dull, an dry to the touch.

MIDCOAT , CUSTOM COLORS , OR METALLIC/ PEARL OEM

This is for coverage over required groundcoats , not "ghost effect"

1 - Apply medium coats over the required groundcoat for your color.

2 - Flash 5–15 minutes between coats or until tack-free.

3 - Apply additional coats until the desired color depth is achieved. Most custom and oem colors require 2-4 medium coats - check color description or compare to existing oem panels

4 - Apply 1 light "control" coat to make sure all of the pearl or metallic is even and not splotchy or "tiger striped"

5 - Wait 30 mins or 15 mins after the surface is completely dull and dry to the touch before moving on to topcoat step.

EFFECT PEARL / COLORSHIFT COAT

This is for effect over light groundcoats (not for coverage)

1 - Apply one light effect coat at approximately 25 percent coverage.

2 - Allow 5-15mins for the coat to flash before adding another light coat (if you want to add more effect)

Repeat as many times to your preference of effect and coverage.

3 - Wait 30 mins or 15 mins after the surface is completely dull and dry to the touch before moving on to topcoat step.

STEP 11 – CLEANUP & STORAGE

CAP CLEARING

1 - Turn the can upside down after spraying.

2 - Spray until only clear propellant comes out.

3 - This clears paint from the valve and prevents clogging.

NOZZLE CARE

1 - Remove the spray nozzle after use.

2 - Wipe clean with solvent.

3 - Do not soak the nozzle in solvent.

STORAGE

1 - Store cans upright in a cool, dry place.

2 - Keep away from direct sunlight.

3 - Avoid freezing conditions.

4 - Do not store above 120°F (49°C).

QUICK TROUBLESHOOTING

1 - Dry or rough texture means the can is too far away or moving too fast.

2 - Runs or sags mean the can is too close or moving too slowly.

3 - Continue to shake and agitate the can between coats- Repeat step 6

4 - If ever unsure the color is 100% covered (and you are going for coverage) - one extra coat is always a good idea.

Frequent Questions
Do I Need Sealer Or Groundcoat?
YES! All of our basecoat spray cans require a specific colored groundcoat for proper hue and coverage. Sealer is HIGHLY recommended for adhesion, surfacing, and is many times REQUIRED based on the basecoat color or projects condition.
Do I Need Clearcoat?
YES! All of our basecoat spray cans REQUIRE 2k clearcoat sprayed on top of them. This not only gives the final finish (gloss or matte) but also provides durability and UV resistance.
What sandpaper grit can I spray this over?
If you are not spraying it over our epoxy sealer you will need to sand with either 600 grit or a gray scuff pad.
Can I use this to paint chrome?
Yes but it will require more prep - On chrome you will want to sand it with 180 grit , clean, spray adhesion promoter, then epoxy high build primer. Then sand the epoxy primer with 320, seal, then paint.
Can you paint your calipers with this paint?
Yes - our paints work great on calipers, engine blocks, and valve covers!
How to keep the spray can after using some and will use the rest in the next couple of days/weeks? Will it still be in good to use?
Yes. Before putting on shelf, turn upside down and spray to clear the nozzle.
Do I Need High Build Primer?
If you are painting over bodywork, uneven surfaces, failed clearcoat, or anything not in perfect condition : YES! High build will cover and help even out the surface and provide you "filling" that can be block sanded smooth before sealer and paint.

Customer photo review of Diamond Purple Spray Can Midcoat

So I’m not a painter by any means, but recently got into cars and after making my car look cool, I wanted my 1yo daughters car to match. With not the best prep on my part, this paint came out amazing. I was so impressed with it even before the clear coat went on. I was thinking that a sparkle effect like this would be very minimal but I was very wrong. This s*** dances in the light! 10/10 will def be buying more for any other fun projects.

I would like to say i finished my paint job but I didn't didn't have enough paint to finish the job. The wrong amount showed up, and my customer wasn't happy with waiting for more to arrive. So i had to buy my customer new stretch kit and had to go with a different color of their choice. So I couldn't afford more paint after all that im a small business as well. As a owner I had to make the customer happy. I have half painted bags fender tank covers as wall art now. But the paint did look good.
