POL Raptor TINTABLE question here!!!

[Bigbird]

I just got my Raptor liner in the mail and I have a quick question on what to tint it with. The directions say up to 10% paint added but what do I use???? Do I go with base coat color or should I use a single stage paint to add. I think the single stage will give me a more glossy look when I'm done but I dont know. What do you guys think?????

Done this not long ago. Called the UPOL rep for my area. Pick your paint color and tell the paint store all you want is the tint/toner (NOT water base) with no binders. I got a pint mixed up and it done 5 bottles of liner with a little left over.
And to give you a heads up after u mix 250ml of hardener in the bottle there is just enough room for the tint/toner and will over flow when u screw the gun on. If I was to do it over I'd mix a large batch in separate container then pour in the bottle to spray. takes 100ml (or 100cc's if u happen to have a big ass syringe) of toner/tint per bottle

Yep, just the base with no additives. It'll come out with a little gloss to it as is.

Make sure the guy behind the counter knows you need it without binder. Some paint lines have it in the toners on the machine and others do not, you add it into the formula. That makes it base coat, single stage, or in some like Glasurit water base. Some of those guys behind the counter don't have a clue. Ask for the store manager.
