Bring Back Factory-Fresh White Diamond Pearl (OEM Paint Code WA800J)

Restore or refresh that luxurious, pearl-infused white (WA800J) – the deep, multi-layer pearl white with brilliant shimmer and depth found on many GM models including Cadillac, Chevrolet, and GMC vehicles like the Silverado, Tahoe, Suburban, Equinox, Malibu, Avalanche, Yukon, Escalade, and more (commonly 2002–2017 era). This premium tri-stage urethane basecoat system delivers exceptional depth, vibrant pearl effect with dramatic flip under light, and strong UV resistance for a durable, showroom-quality finish that lasts.

Key Features & Technical Data

• Exact OEM color match to factory WA800J (also referred to as White Diamond Pearl, White Diamond Tri-Coat, or code 98/GBN)
• Premium automotive urethane tri-stage basecoat – requires base color + pearl midcoat for full effect (sprays evenly with outstanding coverage; typically multiple coats per stage)
• High-quality pearl flakes in midcoat create signature vibrant pop, depth, and color-shift under different lighting
• Requires 2K clearcoat (not included unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can is selected) for gloss, durability, and UV protection
• Backed by precise color-matching data for superior accuracy
• Mix Ratio (Unreduced): 1:1 basecoat to urethane reducer (by volume) – use medium/fast reducer depending on temperature/humidity
• Viscosity (Ready to Spray): Typically 13–15 seconds in a #4 Zahn cup
• Coverage: Approximately 250–300 sq ft per gallon (ready-to-spray) at 0.4–0.8 mil dry film thickness – excellent hiding
• Flash Times: 5–10 minutes between coats; 20–45 minutes before next stage or clearcoat (at 70°F – adjust for conditions)
• Pot Life: Indefinite if unreduced and sealed; reduced material ~2–4 hours
• Recommended Dry Film Thickness: 0.4–0.8 mil per coat (total system build per manufacturer guidelines for tri-coat)

Important Tri-Stage Purchase Details This is a true tri-stage color (base + pearl midcoat) – buyers receive 1 base color container and 1 pearl midcoat container for each size purchased.

• Example: If you select Quart Ready to Spray, you will receive one quart ready-to-spray base color + one quart ready-to-spray pearl midcoat.
• Example: If you select Gallon Unreduced, you will receive one gallon unreduced base color + one gallon unreduced pearl midcoat.
• The same applies to all pint, quart, and gallon sizes/options – you get equal volumes of base and pearl midcoat matched to the size you choose.

If your kit includes a separate reducer (quart or gallon size):

• You will receive one additional reducer container matching the volume of paint purchased (e.g., quart reducer with quart-sized paint, gallon reducer with gallon-sized paint). This ensures you have the proper amount of reducer for mixing both the base and midcoat stages.

Unreduced vs. Ready to Spray – What's the Difference?

• Ready to Spray (RTS): Pre-thinned in the can – simply shake/stir and spray. Ideal for fast, small jobs (sprayable volume = purchased amount).
• Unreduced: Concentrated basecoat – mix yourself (usually 1:1 with reducer). Higher paint solids per container = better yield and maximum control over thinning.

Concise Application Instructions

1. Prep – Clean, sand (400–600 grit), prime if needed; use pre-paint cleaner
2. Mix (Unreduced only) – 1:1 basecoat/midcoat to reducer; stir thoroughly
3. Spray – Apply 2–3 medium wet coats with 50% overlap per stage; flash 5–10 min between coats (70°F)
   • HVLP gun recommended: 30–50 PSI (gravity feed) or 10–15 PSI cap pressure
4. Final Flash – 20–45 minutes before clearcoat (max 24 hrs without scuffing)
5. Clearcoat – Apply 2–3 coats of 2K clear (or use Gloss Touch Spray Can for small areas)
6. Safety – Wear proper PPE (respirator, gloves, suit); ensure excellent ventilation; test-spray first

Important Application Notes

• Basecoat only (unless kit or Gloss Touch Spray Can selected) – must be topped with quality 2K clear; tri-stage requires proper layering (base then pearl midcoat)
• Always test-spray a small panel first – final appearance can vary slightly due to lighting, primer, application technique, or age
• Professional-grade automotive refinishing product – not intended for household or non-auto use
• Use proper PPE, ventilation, and equipment
