Diamond Flake additive for Custom Paint in Reducer to show Sparkle

A little Diamond goes a Long way


Seen here Chad just came back from the AutoColor , PPG Painters School where he was shown how to use the newest and best new paint additives. One of these paint additives was Diamond Prism Additive. One half an ounce will coat a car. The purpose is to add color sheen to the paint of the car that is never the same twice as the colors are created as light passed through the microscopic prisms. As we know from middle school Prisms can refract light of any color if white light passes through them. Uv light is a kind of white light. Chad couldn't wait to show me the additive that he brought back from the School. Since the additive makes a normal Silver base has sparkles of muti color latitude you will never see this on a OEM color anytime soon..... We think.
Here is the additive, Take in mind this is enough to paint the whole car with the additive. These diamonds are pretty exspensive as this solution is $81 per ounce. This is my camera Flash on the solution from about 4 inches away.
These diamonds react much like the Metallic we are already painting the car in but in a rainbow of color, I am unsure of how this would look mixed into the W26 paint solution we came up with and I am even nervous it will some out "frilly" Chad is really excited about this additive so well seif I can muster the intestinal fortitude to see it through and Hope all is well. I may ask Chad to spray a 6 in card with the solution before I say okay to the additive. I may say no at the last minute to this additive out of the concern that it may not be recreatable, In that instance I was to have an accident the paint would not be matchable and the whole car would need to be repainted.
