Hi guys,

It's Sam from Splash Paints and wanted to help you guys on how to apply the FORD GTLM colors so you don't have to figure it out.

The 2016 FORD GTLM Colors worked brilliant over first application of Frozen White.

Frozen White > (Red or Blue) > (Blue or Red)

The 2018 version however, needs little more detail. 

As shown in the picture, same procedure has been taken as the 2016 version but due to the White base (Frozen White), it came out little brighter than expected.

So I will advise before spraying the Red and Blue, Nardo Grey, or Beluga Black must be sprayed for darker tone of Blue and Red for more accuracy.

If not, you may want to spray little more layers of the tint coat to make them darker but it will take much longer without spraying grey or black base.

Super fine flakes are hard to capture through the camera!

Please excuse the trash in the clear.

Anyways, if you have any more questions, 

please feel free to ask here!

 

Hope this helped for those who purchased the paint!

 

God bless,

Samuel, while this is OT, I'm curious what you're using for photo lighting? Looks like some sort of rectangular array of LEDs.

Peter,

I got it off Amazon but I can't quite remember how much it was but it was cheaper than most others. came with 4 or 3 different back drops.

Thanks, but I'm curious what the lighting unit looks like. Is it like a cube with strips of LEDs mounted on top (and of course the backdrop in the back and on the bottom)?

it's a big one piece PVC back drop.  Nothing fancy.  The LED Units themselves seems like a cheap module with adjustable brightness.
