Coatings for white paint

[waterman]

Hello,

I am looking for a different coating this year and was looking into gyeon and some of the reviews say it darkens the paint. Would this be noticeable on white paint? Has anyone experienced a coating that works better for white paint or am I making too big a deal about white paint?

Imo you are worring to much.

Ive used gyeon pure evo on white, silver, charcol grey and black paint. Ive only noticed the darkening effect on dark colors.

Its not like it "changes" the coloe of the vehicle

Making white darker?? Doesnt make sense to me, maybe I am wrong.
I think you are thinking to much- just kick back and enjoy the white-- thats what I do

You’re over thinking it. You would not notice a difference between any coating on white paint. That is the reality of white paint.

Thank you everyone. Any recommendations for gyeon? I was thinking can coat because I have a few cars to do. I am also considering cquartz lite.

CarPro Sic or GYEON Mohs EVO. Both are great on lighter colors. In reality, though, the real difference is in the quality of the final painted finish and the work you do on the polisher. Orange Peel on a cheap car will not look as nice as a finely sprayed finish no matter what coating.

Few Pics for attention:

the pics show density in the photo is all...they don't show the white being shiner

I just spent 12 hours this weekend on 2 white cars

Video will but I don't do video as I have little need. Again, a coating alone isn't going to show a difference either way. Not on white.

Video will

No it won't....the physics of videography and photography are the same...lighting/base reflection...angle of incidence rule changes shine in both cases....
What video will do is give you 24 still frames a second along with movement to change the reflected angles...hence show more opportunity to feature the highest reflection viewing angles.

Taking a 2 dimension still photo and making it 3 dimentional
not bad for an 8th grade education huh.....:xyxthumbs:

My point is exactly that, the movement and changing of angles in video will show it better than a photo. In still images people focus on the details within the image, in videos the focus is on the changing visuals of the subject hence why videos do show off gloss better on lighter cars. Both photos and videos focus on the ability to paint with light.

Either will be a good option. CanCoat will be a quicker application while Lite will be a more traditional coating application.

You always have the option to step up to Gyeon Pure or Mohs. Both will look the same on white especially once outside when the sun washes it out. Mohs will leave slickness.

Can’t go wrong with any of the Gyeon or CarPro coatings. CanCoat Evo has the advantage of being quickest to apply and most economical. It would be my choice for multiple cars. You could definitely get away with one coat but I’d suggests two coats to ensure you covered every square inch of paint. If you’re going to use CQuartz Lite, you might as well do a full coating due to the time involved.

Can Coat as you mentioned will work great on your white car. Thats what I have on my new white truck. Just do the prep work and there will be no worries. I think coatings and LSP's last a little longer on white cars as well as the paintwork on light vehicles doesnt get as hot as darker colors.

I helped a friend coat his Alpine White BMW 3 series a couple years ago. We used CQUK 3.0 and after polishing out the car and applying the coating, the results were spectacular.

Thanks for everyone’s help. I think I’ll try can coat on the cars I have to do and see how it works.
