Common questions
Yes. Send a reference sample and the shade is matched and confirmed against it before the batch is released, so a repeat order reproduces the finish you approved.
No. Every code in the MNaq series runs on the same non-aqueous parameters, so switching shade does not mean requalifying the process.
A metallic effect depends on pigment lying flat, so the surface underneath matters as much as the coat. A smooth core, or a seal coat below the metallic layer, gives the pigment something even to lie on.
