For anyone our there who happens to know. Since cym is a tricoat color, how hard is it to apply to the car?? I mean, how much of the mid layer do you add to the base coat? As well, Im guessing that since its a tri-coat, paint touch ups are next to impossible? Cheers

its a tricoat? i thought dupont came out with that in...94 or 95?

i always thought it was a yellow with a fine pearl metal flake in it.

??? what does that have to do with anything?

the tri in the tri coat is what gives the CYM its mica effect, its like a translucent pearl paint, applying this evenly is the key, if you put too much in one spot it will appear almost like a dirty area. The yellow is pretty straight forward, once the car is covered in yellow you go with the effect , then you clearcoat.

just be sure to get plenty of paint, it does not cover very well

you are right, i know because my friend just had his cym repainted.

Tri-coats can be blended for repairs. Just takes more time than basic paints.
Apply base, apply mid in stages till color match. Shops will do a draw-down to match difficult colors like pearl white.

Thanks for the input. I guess my real qestion is the mid layer (the mica). How much to apply. Is there a rule of thumb??
