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
Quality Products, complete instructions, & great customer service!

I ultimately used this to alter the tint of a urethane bed liner being installed on a car interior. The liner color was just a bit too bright so I added a darker pearl in place of some of the tint color. Results were fantastic. Also helped knock the extreme gloss on the liner material to a semi gloss look. I did add a bit more pearl than usual to get this effect and have noticed no reduction in strength of the liner material.

Thank you for the feedback, Alex! We're so happy you're loving the Gunpowder Gray and its pearl finish. Your project is looking great so far. Thank you for choosing TSS!
The product went on very good and I could tell from the very beginning that it was gonna turn out well. The gunpowder Gray is beautiful., certain angles you see a hint of blue. The aerosol went on smooth, no runs, no cloudiness no orange peel.
Store owner replied:
Thank you for the feedback and for sharing the photos, Thomas! The tank looks fantastic. We’re glad to hear the Gunpowder Gray Midcoat went on smoothly and that you had no issues with runs, cloudiness, or orange peel. Great job! 🙌🙌🙌
I bought a lot of different paints from different places, and by far this had the most paint for the size of the can. Looks really clean on my bike. Used to buy from tropical glitz but it costed 50$ for a cherry red and had barely enough to cover my frame
