there are discussions on black, silver and white paints... but what about metallic? :)



i heard zaino is the best for metallic... is carnauba also ok?



thanks!
 
i know it has clearcoat... what i mean is for the overall look, what type of product will enhance the metallic paint underneath the clearcoat?

it's a matter of opinion ^ on what everyone likes. nxt seems to be a favorable choice for metallics for many on here...
 
I like the look of sealants. Zaino and Werkstatt are good. A lot of people like the Klasse twins, which I have not tried. I just put Pinnacle Souveran on my Titanium Silver metalic paint, looks smooth as butter, but I think I like the shine of Zaino on the silver a bit better. But the carnuba looks real nice and warm. Like they said its all a matter of opinion.
 
I would suggest Wolfgang,it doesn't seem to popular nowadays for some reason,but it does work very well on metalic paints,shows the flake very well,while at the same time gives a great carnauba like warm glow.A very underated product IMO.
 
Tough question to answer, both carnubas and sealants can look good. Here is the same metallic gold vehicle with a glaze-carnuba finish and a sealant finish to compare. Unfortunately the light, angle and camera are different, LOL.

The carnuba is darker and deeper with muted flakes, the Zaino is lighter and pops more.

Typically a carnauba is going to mute the flakes and sealant is going to give it some pop, although with natty's blue it really made the metalic pop on my friends black w/blue metalic integra, more than UPP.
