2) Wondering if a metallic blue would require a base coat or clear coat?

3) I sprayed a high gloss orange tonight and it turned out bad! It had like yellow blotches in it and one part was a really really dull yellow. Not bright at all! Just wondering if this could be because of contamination? I am going to blast all the parts again, clean them extremely well, clean the gun spotless and try it again! Any suggestions here?

Thanks a million!

1) Candy colors look best over a polished material or chrome. If applying over something else you need a base coat of something like x-treme chrome.

2) Is the metallic blue a translucent/candy powder? If it is you don't need a clear. If is isn't, I would clear it.

3) I can't see the pics
