So in an effort of trying to achieve more depth with sliver, I decided to give Natty's blue a try. I must say I'm quite satisfied.



Process was:

Polished and clayed 2 weeks ago

Clearkote RMG

UPP x 3

Natty's blue x1 (Will be doing a second coat tonight)

Tried to capture the flake, but I screwed up the focus. Still, gives you a good idea, UPP makes the flake pop!



What I learned: Apply Natty's THIN. Applied it too thick in a couple areas, but nothing a little Acrylic Spritz couldn't handle. The Sonus SFX hand applicators are a great way to apply Mothers FX tire shine. Silver is all about angles, one way looks great; deep and wet, the other merely clean. I guess it's just something I'll have to live with... Until I buy a darker colored car.



Products I want to try: The silver elise thread has inspired me, and after the next wash I'll hopefully use some OCW. Any application tips? Never used a spray wax before.

Just spray onto surface, wipe with MF, turn MF over, wipe clean. That's it.



great looking Xb btw...
 
Nice looking silver.

You're right with how it looks. Sometimes it can look quite plain, but take one step and the metallic might pop like crazy or it can look very wet.

OCW is so easy to use you don't need any tips.
 
Nice work on the toaster oven fellow scion owner! Your right though, you need to get a blue onyx pearl box next (because we all know dark blue owns every other color!).



I have found that if I don't buff OCW into the paint enough it leaves small dots that take some effort to remove.
 
Thanks for all the advice!



And only crappy bowlers drive blue...



One other thing I learned, 4* gloss enhancer works pretty well. I think I may just use it as a QD, or after the QD if it doesn't bring enough shine back.
