How close is the lolly pop blue, what if you apply it thicker would it be close?

Just got the Tiger Drylac dormant blue in today, sprayed it on a test piece and shot clear, it is the the Yamaha Blue color exact!!!

It sprays on a purple color, then cures a chrome base, then you add clear and cure, it turns the blue/purple color.

You spray the purple powder on the part, cure it partially and it turns chrome is the process, now when you spray the clear on it and cure the part, it turns into the blue/purple metallic, I will do some parts tomorrow and post pics

Lolly pop blue over silver and we have Yamaha Blue. Look no further because you can buy both here. Dormant is also close if not exact but the lolly over silver base is dead on.

Question, when appliying the top coat do you bake the silver for about 5 minutes and then put the top coat on or do you fully cure the silver first, thanks again.
I ordered the loly pop blue also.
