      Metallic Basecoat Question

      Just finished spraying the undercarriage with PPG DBC basecoat. The color is a pale blue with TONS of silver metallic. It turned out looking really nice (first time painting a car). I have a couple questions before I start spraying where everyone can see.

      What is the proper way to spray a high metallic base coat?

      My first pass, I kind of just lightly misted.

      Second pass, I sprayed so the color was all uniform.

      Third pass, I sprayed wet until I could see the metallic start to flow out.

      I'm really happy with the way it looks, just want to make sure I'm doing it right before I start on the top of the car. Any input greatly appreciated!

      Thanks, Nate
