What kind of paint was that I saw

At the HD shop and a bike was painted with paint I could see thru to bare metal.There was no primer under the paint either.The metal was prepped with sanding swirls and made the paint do crazy things

The only way I could see this working is by using a tinted clear coat as your only finish. I dont know how well clear coat will stick without primer or base beneath it, but this is the only way I could see this happening. Well, I guess they could use candy paint without any primer, because candy paint is translucent.

they could of used bulldog adhesion promoter, and then used a candy, then clear. Thats the way i do it.

You say it was the metal parts? It may have been powdercoat. A friend of mine got all the paint and texture off his calipers and put a candy orange powdercoat on it..It looks REALLY Nice!!!

I was thinking clear with paint mixed in with it.Or maybe candy.Can candy be sprayed without primer
The bulldog adhesion promoter can be used as a primer?????
