FAQs

FAQs

Can I get express or overnight shipping on paint?

Unfortunately, no—express or overnight shipping isn’t available for paint. Federal Department of Transportation (DOT) regulations classify paint as hazardous materials (haz-mat) under Hazard Class 3 (flammable liquids). These classifications mandate that such products can only be shipped via ground transportation—not by air ICC Compliance Center Inc - USArila.org.

The rationale is simple: shipping flammable liquids such as paint via air carries elevated safety and regulatory risks—including fire hazards and complex emergency response needs. Ground transport minimizes these risks and remains the only compliant mode under DOT regulations FMCSArila.org.

For more details, feel free to check out this source: Understanding Why Paint is Classified as Hazardous Material and Restricted to Ground Shipping

Can you put metal flake in base coat?
You can, but it is not advised. If you're not using a .002" or .004" metal flake then you're going to create an issue where the base coat is very textured (orange peel). Since base coat is opaque (unable to see through), you're going to end up with metal flake that is hidden by the base coat. For maximum impact, it is best to spray metal flake over your base coat, before your clear.
Can you put metal flake in clear coat?
Yes you can. You just have to be more careful as you can run clear coat easier than you can run intercoat clear.
What size tip to spray clear coat?
This will depend upon the clear you're using. Most high solids clears, you'll want a 1.4. Medium solids you can use a 1.2 or 1.3. With our high solids clears you can use a 1.2, 1.3 or 1.4 without any issues.
What’s the best basecoat?
Candy is transparent, so you want something for the sun/light to reflect off of. This would be any metallic or pearl base. Silver Surfer, Goldenrod, Silk White, Black Diamond are just some of the recommended bases for candy.
What is the mix ratio?
You can use as little as you want. Good rule of thumb is 8 parts carrier to 1 part concentrate, but you can go up to 5 parts carrier to 1 part concentrate for a stronger color.
How long will it take to ship?
Almost all orders are shipped within 24 hours via USPS or UPS. Upon shipment, you will receive tracking number via email & text.
What is Intercoat clear used for?
Intercoat Clear can be used as a carrier for pearls, flake or candy concentrate. It is also able to be used as a wet-bed sealer, lock-down clear, mid-coat for tri-coats, graphics and basecoat blender.
What is Triple C Intercoat Clear comparable to?
It's most direct comparable product would be DBC500 from PPG. It's thicker & clearer than House of Kolor SG100 or SG150.
