How To Color Tint

[@jc2200]

Great Job KM! Tweaking is my favorite color! It’s crazy how all or most formulas are just an approximation to the color. That’s where one comes in to do the tweaking. Again Awesome and thanks for sharing! 👊🏽 “Perfection is not attainable, but if we chase perfection we can catch excellence.” Vince Lombardi

@@kandyman5315definitely teaching me something every day . Great channel sir . O quick question, how often do you get a new painters jacket ?

[@kandyman5315]

@jonathanjimmeson around 2 weeks then it's done

[@Ontheroadbrogymgo]

With Standox, when a color didn’t match, it usually fell in between 2 variants. I would mix 2 ounces of the 2 variants, then slowly add them together, till it matched. During this process, I would notate the calculations of each tint and defiantly keep the spray out. Colors usually were not off, but when they were, it was way off. Only had to tint colors about 5% of the time. Sherwin colors matched pretty decent. PPG Envirobase wasn’t horrible, but Lessonal was the worst!

I'd love to see a colour-matching video for the Matte Blue on the newer models of vehicles. Please consider creating more videos on color matching.

Since color matching/tinting has been somewhat of a challenge for me, this was a great help & I appreciate your time with this process!!

[@kandyman5315]

Glad it was helpful!

Definitely want to see the satin blue job please. Insanely good match on the Honda, thank you for sharing yet more of your knowledge.

[@frankartale1026]

Bingo ! I tell everyone. REVERSE TINT ! Very Smart. I been doing it this way for around 15 years. It is the best way to do it. I been a painter 28 years and it took me almost half my career to figure this out for myself. He just gave it to you for FREE and saved you alot of time.

[@kandyman5315]

Appreciate the support and feedback

@@kandyman5315 your welcome. I never watched your channel because of the name. I figured it was a custom paint channel. Which ive done plenty of but i like repair work and resto work.

reminds me of the old heads that brought me up. i admire your dedication to the craft and appreciate that you take the time to share these tips and tricks with all of us. you're a national treasure, man.

[@JohnWD40TC02]

Very interesting Kandy Man, it always amazes me how you pros are able to know which tinter to use if the colour is off I assume it's just years of experience, you wouldn't want me doing your colour matching for you as I'm partially colour blind🧐🤓👍John UK

[@dakotawaterman9972]

You’re the man. Just that little tid-bit of using transparents to lighten or darken is gold. Thank you

[@kandyman5315]

Thanks for the support 👊

[@colingater2743]

Yes please I would like to see you do the blue. Thanks

[@ATX_737]

This is so cool! Thanks for sharing. I work in a automotive supply store. We provide ppg as well. (Envirobase, delfleet, deltron, and shop line). We have the same posters and the same computer program!! Which helps! I’m in the process of learning how to tint but some colors can be challenging! Right now I have a color to match that looks off in the paint booth light, but it looks good outside!

The Odyssey came out beautiful. You have a keen eye for tinting. Thanks for taking the time during your busy schedule. You rock!

[@kandyman5315]

No problem 👍

[@conner5787]

Do you try to stick with what’s in the the formula to tint, or do you go outside the formula?

[@kandyman5315]

Depends what it needs but yes I will go out side the formula if needed

[@ntonytay]

Good job man. Its takes more effort to tint waterbase paint than solvent especially need to dry the paint and clear to see the match. Hope you can explain how to tint the flop as usually i tint it to match the face but the flop is a hard time to get a match.

[@producerlawson]

Complete amateur here looking for some advice as a garden/hobby sprayer.. whenever I start colour tinting I always let it dry down and compare, but I find once wet out with clear it changes colour temperature again, a total nightmare for my factory alpine white panels that I want to match. Could I compare the colours whilst the basecoat is still wet in the pot? That way I have an idea of what it'll be once glossy or does the dry down colour shift a lot more than I'm imagining?

[@kandyman5315]

It's best to clear it and check it for best results

[@wotruannwah5678]

Hey dude, sorry about the randomness of this question. My shop switched from Autobase to Envirobase, so we're mostly using ppg stuff. As a small shop in the middle of nowhere our Sikkens supplier didn't really care about our orders, and they send us like 20 boxes of the 123 tackrags. Our ppg jobber says that the one choice tacks are better FOR the envirobase, but I kinda think a tack rags a tack rag, do you think it matters? Love your videos, I haven't been able to get to a tinting class and these videos are saving me

[@kandyman5315]

Crystal tack rags are all I use

[@markvietti]

When I painted cars back in the 90's we had Dupont paint system...... 7800 ,,7600 clears.... all the color matches had to big of metal in it. .once the metal is too big you cant remove it.. Dupont did this and not by mistake.. so you where forced to blend everything.....I got sick of it and scratched matched every car I painted about 4 a day.. got so good Duport wanted to hire me to match colored....i told them to fuk off

[@kandyman5315]

I don't blame you heard a lot of bad things about dupont

Another great Video, Candy Man. Quick question: Can you tell us if there is some sort of pigment or simple tint product that can be added to adjust (lighten) a 2K Urethane topcoat? I have a gallon of 2K Urethane automotive paint that was supposed to be a dark Charcoal Gray but its actually almost totally black. Just need to lighten it a bit by adding some white but I can't figure out what would be safe to add and, no, I don't have any white 2K paint to add. Any tips on this, guys?

[@kandyman5315]

What do you have to add

[@PJ-ee5mc]

@kandyman5315 Thanks for asking. I think that just a very small amount of white would do it.

[@kandyman5315]

@PJ-ee5mc yes

[@PJ-ee5mc]

@kandyman5315 What I can't find is any info on what sort of pigment would be correct and not ruin my paint. If it were latex, analine leather dye or lacquer there are all sorts of dye kits but I see nothing that claims to work with a 2K urethane. Any ideas for something other than buying 2k white paint?

[@kandyman5315]

@PJ-ee5mc do you have 2k gray primer
