Just a final item from me on the tintcoat. I did some checking and confirmed that all eight colors are done the exactly the same; prime, base coat and clear coat. The only difference with Velocity Yellow, Atomic Orange and Monterey Red is the clear coat is tinted. The plant does not add tint to the clear coat; it comes to the plant already tinted by the supplier.

Doesn't matter to me, I'm crazy about the looks of my Monterey Red in bright sunlight.
