I mentioned back in a previous post I thought that painting the new Lucy Blue welting with Lucy blue paint would come out a shade darker than shooting the Cameo with Lucy Blue. In the pic below the left piece is Lucy blue BC/CC over Lucy Blue welting while the three pieces to the right are Lucy Blue BC/CC over Cameo welting. All of the pieces were sprayed at the same time with the same prep procedures and have cured for about a month. Hopefully in the pic you can see the one on the left is a slightly darker shade than the other three.

They were cleaned with wax and grease remover, scuffed with gray Scotch-Brite, cleaned again with W&G remover, SEM adhesion promoter, then shot with two coats of PPG Deltron Lucerne Blue base coat followed by two wet coats of PPG 2021 Clear coat. I did these bigger pieces to send back to James if he wants some samples to show people how the new welting can be painted.
