Spitz.,... ask you painter to show you a HOK paint chip chart. HOK offer about 4 zillion color choices and if that isnt enough your painter can mix dry pearls, large flakes, or small flakes in the paint. And if that isnt enough, he can use any number of Shimrin or Kandy bases that arent shown. In short....its infinite. A word of caution though... I'd stick with the color chart colors. WHEN, not IF, you get a ding or a scratch, it will be almost impossible to spot paint the hickey. To directly answer your question, YES! There a number of stock, darker HOK Kandy blues...and they are GORGEOUS!!

For info only, PE uses 4 coats of primer ( white, pink, yellow, grey ) to seal our Kevlar (R) body. Then 6 to 8 coats of base ( Shimrin or Kandy ). Then 6 to 10 coats of tint color(s). Then 4 coats of clearcoat. Can you do it with less? Can you polish gelcoat? Can you use MAACO? "Yes" to all the foregoing!

But there is NO substitute for multiple coats -- wet, block sanded and dry polished between processes to give you that deep " look down INTO the finish" show quality paint job.

Drop me a line if I may be of any further help or you may call me on my cell 913-636-6303.
