Default RE: Painting yellow strips over blue basecoat


ORIGINAL: JawzSS

I am in the process of painting my boat. The basecoat is a blue, however, i wanted to paint some yellow stripes over top without having them turn green. Im new to using automotive paints for painting so I am unsure how one will lay over the other. Im assuming i would eventually get yellow over the blue with enough coats although I am not sure. The blue paint im using forthe baseis from Sherwin-Williams automotive collection and is a two-in-one base/clear.
For starters, it will not turn green. Your blue basecoat has hardened and it's pigments will be completely covered by the yellow, unless of course your using a candy (which I seriously doubt). You may have to apply 2 coats of the yellow to completely cover.
