Black epoxy

[Dartguy]

Probably a strange question, but here it is.

I have a customer project that needs to be shot over a black base. How "black" is the black epoxy? I have always used PPG DP epoxy and it seems to be a muted black... kinda has brown and grey tones to me.

Pictures would be great!

I'd say ppg, and I use the same black pigment in the epoxy so that mine will be no better.

SPI Black Epoxy is more black than PPG in my experience. I recall PPG DPLF being on the brown side. SPI is nice and black.

Thanks for the info. You don't happen to any pictures do you?

These are all SPI black. I would agree that it can be a little brown/grayish in the sun but if Barry is using the same carbon black pigment as PPG then that would make sense. I still think it’s so purdy

Just sprayed a Ford truck in unreduced black epoxy last night / early this morning that guy is going to run as sprayed. No paint till later. Looks black to me.

Thanks for the pictures. Looking g a totally black sealer. It does have a brown tone to it.

Of course we are all under the impression that our eyes are perfect in true color perception. Lol.

To Dartguy just asking what are you doing or painting over the black base ?

Candy base and don't want to risk a color variation.
