Blue is Dynamic Blue Metallic from GMC

Purple is Digital Violet from Aston Martin

Both are covered in 2K Clear except where the the blue frame is matte black.

[TonyM]

can of primer, 2 cans of colour, can of top coat (one part, the cheap kind). All from local diy store. cost me, idk, 25 eur.
My conclusion: i should have ordered black from the factory and called it a day.

On the pic it doesn't look bad at all!
What is the problem?

The purple looks great did you have also polish it after the 2k vanish?

This was a very long project I did twice after the first one turned out badly. etoe on YouTube was great.

The full steps after lots of experiments.

Sanding
2K primer, 2 coats
Sanding
Colour, 3 coats
2K Clearcoat, 3 coats
Sanding
Polishing

It took many days, so much sanding, the spraying was the easy part, the sanding took ages.

It turned out good, I love the colour but there are some dust specks in the clear and some marks. Ended up spending £300 on painting supplies... but I learned all about spray painting so it was valuable.

Very close, I wanted British Racing Green but it was very difficult to get a good quality can, I tested a few and they were all pretty bad quality.

Ended up going with Mipa Ral 6005 Moss Green which is the closes match without going for a custom can.

The clear coat really brings the shine, its SprayMax 2K Gloss clear.

Here's a photo and video of one of my paint jobs: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/V-t9kH_zGyU

The frame is a Winspace SLC 2.0 and stem is S-Works SL. The frame started out life in the Superlight Black colorway, this was the process:
Frame:
- Sand to bare carbon
- Transparent adhesion promoter with a faint silver sparkle
- Candy Black from Specialist Paints
- White fade base is Dolomite from Montana Cans
- Snow White Pearl from Specialist Paints over the Montana Dolomite
- Clear intercoat/Wet sand
- Decals are painted on with Ford Champagne Gold
- 2k clear coat/Wet sand
- More 2k clear coat
- Wet sand until smooth
- Cut and polish with orbital buffer

Fork:
- Sand to bare carbon
- Adhesion promoter
- Montana Shock Black
- Alcohol ink job with Tim Holtz alcohol inks and 99 iso
- 2k clear (lots of it due to the alcohol ink texture)/Wet sand until smooth
- Montana Dolomite white base/Specialist Paints Snow White Pearl
- 2k clear/wet sand/cut and buff


Will post a couple more paint jobs when I get a chance.

Thanks for the follow.
Yes, it's a type of transparent primer. The can I used for this frame is from Spray Max. I wanted to be able to see the raw carbon through the candy black, so a transparent primer was needed. I got the idea from the Rokit Props Youtube channel, he has a series detailing some great paintwork on a Winspace T1300.
Tbh you can only really see the candy black/raw carbon effect in perfect lighting, lol. It just looks like black paint from a distance.

I wanted to pay homage to the artist Joshua Vides with his cartoon/comic book effect.

3 coats of Honda Championship White 
2 coats of Dupli-Color Clear Effex
2 coats of 2K clear coat
So the black isn't paint. It's actually just reverse paint reveal. I covered up the raw finish with letter decals to reveal frame underneath after the coats of white paint dried.
