Motip Metallic Spray Paint - Blue - 400 ml

Product Information

Dirt shows more obviously on metallic finishes than solids, so you may end up cleaning your car more often. Be careful, though, as the paint marks more easily. Use a proper car shampoo – washing up liquid contains abrasive salts – and make sure there’s no grit on the sponge. Over-zealous polishing causes swirl marks and car wash brushes can leave marks, too. But any marks can usually be carefully buffed out. The cost to paint a car in the factory varies from paint to paint, while getting a respray done can cost thousands of pounds, as components need to be removed or thoroughly masked off, and a car will often need repairs or corrective work before it is resprayed. Individual body panels can often be resprayed for hundreds rather than thousands, though. How do I find my car’s paint code? If your car has scratches and damage that won’t buff out, we can help. Our car touch-up paint is colour-matched, which means it will seamlessly blend into your existing finish, making scratches a thing of the past.

If none of the above floats your boat, various car manufacturers use a range of other techniques to give even more lustrous finishes in a seemingly infinite spectrum of colours. You pay for it, though, with special finishes often adding thousands of pounds to the cost of a car.Color Space Conversions Decimal 3297915 Binary 00110010, 01010010, 01111011 Hexadecimal #32527b LRV ≈ 8.1% Closest short hex #258 ΔE = 2.792 RGB rgb(50, 82, 123) RGBA rgba(50, 82, 123, 1.0) rg chromaticity r: 0.196, g: 0.322, b: 0.482 RYB red: 19.608%, yellow: 28.332%, blue: 48.235% Android / android.graphics.Color -13479301 / 0xff32527b HSL hsl(214, 42%, 34%) HSLA hsla(214, 42%, 34%, 1.0) HSV / HSB hue: 214° (213.699), saturation: 59% (0.593), value: 48% (0.482) HSP hue: 213.699, saturation: 59.350%, perceived brightness: 31.420% HSL uv (HUSL) H: 249.227, S: 67.703, L: 34.277 Cubehelix H: -149.370, S: 0.499, L: 0.302 TSL T: -1.852, S: 0.185, L: 0.302 CMYK cyan: 59% (0.593), magenta: 33% (0.333), yellow: 0% (0.000), key: 52% (0.518) CMY cyan: 80% (0.804), magenta: 68% (0.678), yellow: 52% (0.518) XYZ X: 7.907, Y: 8.142, Z: 19.890 xyY x: 0.220, y: 0.227, Y: 8.142 CIELab L: 34.277, a: 1.555, b: -26.796 CIELuv L: 34.277, u: -13.871, v: -36.568 CIELCH / LCHab L: 34.277, C: 26.841, H: 273.321 CIELUV / LCHuv L: 34.277, C: 39.111, H: 249.227 Hunter-Lab L: 28.534, a: -0.475, b: -21.354 CIECAM02 J: 24.657, C: 35.411, h: 250.269, Q: 97.833, M: 30.966, s: 56.260, H: 306.138 OSA-UCS lightness: -10.297, jaune: -4.665, green: 1.541 LMS L: 6.062, M: 8.379, S: 19.694 YCbCr Y: 82.232, Cb: 150.735, Cr: 111.041 YCoCg Y: 84.250, Cg: -2.250, Co: -5.750 YDbDr Y: 77.106, Db: 69.053, Dr: 51.553 YPbPr Y: 78.136, Pb: 24.180, Pr: -17.886 xvYCC Y: 83.105, Cb: 149.240, Cr: 112.288 YIQ Y: 77.106, I: -32.235, Q: 5.990 YUV Y: 77.106, U: 22.585, V: -23.780 Okhsl h: 255.224, s: 0.505, l: 0.346 Okhsv h: 255.224. s: 0.601, v: 0.497 Okhwb h: 255.224, w: 0.198, b: 0.503 Oklab l: 0.434, a: -0.020, b: -0.076 Oklch l: 0.434, c: 0.078, h: 255.224 Munsell Color System 5PB 3/8 ΔE = 2.498 Brand Color Tumblr ΔE = 4.558 Random Colors On the flip side, pearlescent paints are even more susceptible to marks, they’re even more difficult to repair than metallics, and special care needs to be taken when washing a pearlescent car, as they’re relatively susceptible to damage from tiny bits of grit that may be on your car-washing sponge.

Pearlescent paints shine even more brightly and deeply than metallics, but they tend to be more expensive, and also need more car taken of them. At the top end of the market, the only limits are imagination and money. There are cars out there with real silver, gold and even diamonds mixed into the paint. Introducing CRAFTED™️️ by Crown Lustrous Metallic Emulsion: A range of eight striking shades that are perfect for your walls and woodwork. Our Metallic paint creates a shimmering effect on surfaces, adding depth, dimension, and interest to any room. From warm gold and copper tones to cool silver and granite hues, these metallic paint colours know how to make a statement. Mainstream manufacturers tend to offer a limited range of pearlescent colours, but high-end brands often offer dozens.

Triad

Solid paint is cheaper to produce and apply to a car when it is being built, and most manufacturers offer a limited selection of no-cost solid paint choices on a new model; options vary, but you may find a car has three solid paint options as standard (although some cars have only one free paint option), with red, white, blue and grey being common colours. There are yet more possibilities if you’re buying a car made from carbon fibre. Pagani, for instance, can add a coloured tint to the carbonfibre during the material’s manufacturing process – for the price of a whole, brand-new Ferrari. Bugatti charges a similar amount to have no paint at all, just highly lacquered, bare carbon fibre.

If you one of the standard paint options, there’s no reason at all not to go for it – but solid paint doesn’t draw the eye in the same way that a metallic finish does, and buyers on the used market may often favour a car with metallic paint.Like the Audi A6 Avant in Daytona Grey Pearl Effect?

Several shades of blue paint colors made the list for PPG paint's Trending Paint Colors for 2022, Sherwin Williams 2022 Color Collection, and Valspar's 2022 Colors of the Year. Krylon's 2022 Color of the Year was a vibrant blue-teal paint that would look striking sprayed on an outdoor bench, while Behr's 2022 Color of the Year was a soft and minty blue-green shade that would be perfect in a bathroom or kids' room. The pearlescent lustre is created by ceramic crystals in the paint that both reflect and refract light. That gives the colour a depth that even metallics simply can’t match. And under bright light, lighter shades become iridescent, appearing to be different colours from different angles, sometimes to spectacular effect. There are various methods for achieving a matte finish: using a primer with a high epoxy content, a high PVC content in the paint itself, or a flattening agent in the lacquer. Whichever method is used, the paint absorbs more light than it reflects, producing a dull sheen with a certain texture to the colour that has an appeal.
