What would the SPI white basecoat be equivalent to in a GM paint code? Does anyone have any pictures they can post of a vehicle painted with the white base? Thanks,
Oh come on Jim! It's just white. How tough can that be to match? said every customer that doesn't paint.you can tint the spi base. it doesnt take much to make a big change in white. most oem whites will have a touch of black, yellow and red oxide in them. either one, two or a combo of all 3.
Forgive me for saying so, but for that to be true, your Super White was a low coverage formula, not enough coats were applied, or both. SPI White epoxy has been very helpful for us to reduce the amount of basecoat required on white colors by at least one coat.I put Toyota super white over SPI white epoxy once. The white epoxy made the superwhite look dirty. I wished I could have left it in epoxy but it was a sign that was going to be outside.
there isnt any oem color for any manufacturer that would be close. its pure white. no car is painted in pure white. there is always a few other pigments added to dirty it up a little so that it covers well. not to mention a pure white car would be so white it would look a little odd.
Coverage seemed ok. I am not sure about formula being weak. I don't remember what was in it. Used it to repair Camry. It was just that the epoxy was so much whiter than the paint. Without paint being next to epoxy paint seemed to be a normal white. I love the white epoxy tho. I've used it a lot. I have no complaints at all.Forgive me for saying so, but for that to be true, your Super White was a low coverage formula, not enough coats were applied, or both.

Jim are you saying the SPI White is too white? Hypothetical, if I had a customer that wanted a brite white repaint (not needing to match any OEM) it would be too white and need to be tinted? Just curious as I have never used the SPI White.
