Description

Vitamin C Basecoat

is a bright orange pearl that offers great effect over orange. This color is not ideal for large projects as it doesn't have great UV resistance and can fade after too much sun exposure. This is mainly used for.small.projects or projects not in the sun much.

❗ Vitamin C can fade over time due to the suns UV. for this reason we recommend this to be used on small jobs for effect etc. NOT full vehicles that will see the sun often ❗

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.

This color is also available in aerosol spray cans and dry pearl pigment for peelable paints and other non- automotive paint applications.

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
