Tuning paints with effects

Beyond preconceived ideas, few people know exactly the scope of car paints for tuning. They clearly stand out from all other types of car paints in the power of their visual effect.

Car paints for tuning attract attention and do not behave like other paints : they react with light with bright and sometimes multi-colored reflections that surprise and catch the eye.

The technicality of these products is so great that we thought it would be useful to group together the most popular effects among the car tuning paints, creating « complete kits ».

In these dedicated kits, we explain, step by step, how to achieve each phase of the painting process.

These complete kits are composed of a set of products provided in sufficient quantity for each coat, with their hardener, thinner, primer and clearcoat.
