Does anyone know if blue tinted Clear coat on a yellow school bus will make it appear green?
 
So...are you trying to turn your school bus green?

Or...you live somewhere where pollen season has started and you are wondering if your school bus looks green because of the pollen or if some prankster painted it with blue tinted clearcoat?

I surely don't have any experience with painting school buses with blue-tinted clear, and I'm somehow pretty sure no other forum members do either.

So I give up...why are you asking?

I actually showed this to my wife before I answered, and said this is about the strangest question I've ever heard asked.
 
I'm curious about the user name. And I'm not being snarky - I really am curious. I'm familiar with what it is but it's rare to come across.

My guess would be "yes".

Tinting a clear coat IS USED to alter the final visible appearance of a paint job. That's a fact.


Now the question is why?

Why would someone want to spray a blue tinted clear over a yellow school bus? If a person wants a green school bus simply spray it green.


:laughing:
 
Good point, Mike.

Another forum I was a member on a while back had an "Abyss" sub-section.

Posts that were a little "off kilter" but not necessarily malicious in nature were shuttled there. Still free to be answered, but I think the OP's all kind of got the message.

I didn't find it offensive in any way either. In fact, a good many posts moved to the "Abyss" got guys laughing and buoyed the spirits of the OP's to participate a little more.

And this was on a forum not NEARLY as friendly as AGO.

Anyway, just my 2 pennies........ :)
 
Sometimes I think you have a little too much fun with the pictures, Bob!

I also think it would be difficult to get a uniform color using a tinted clear to change the actual color. So as mike stated, why not just paint it green?

I applied a blue pearl over the base Honda white when I repainted my old '91 CRX and it gave the overall paint an almost yellow hue to it but all edges/curves looked blueish in the sun.
 
Assuming one had an old yellow school bus and they wished it was green, I must admit there is validity to this question.
 
I had my run in on tinted clear coat as well. I had a test hood off of a new model Buick that i used to test different compounds and pad variations. After i had used the rupes UHS compound and pad, i noticed a slight hint of red on my pad. Wasn't very noticeable, but i was able to catch it when the light hit the pad. only did 3-4 passes so I knew that there was no way i could of went through the clear coat. I did a little research and found out that Buick model cars in fact do have a tinted clear coat sprayed on them. This was a very good learning experience. Gotta love test panels!
