4500 Sparklescent Colors Set Instructions (AutoAir)

You can find the Guide as PDF here too.

Sets are designed to use Sparklescent Colors as a mid-coat over a color-keyed base for improved coverage and easier application. Color-keyed base allows Sparklescent Color to cover with less material required than over a white base. Small sets contain enough material to paint a motorcycle and a small car. Large sets contain enough material to paint an average to large-sized vehicle.
