Latent Cobalt

A rich blue with a deep flop effect.

Latent effects are the base part of what is probably the most user-friendly two-coat system on the market.  When over-coated with an appropriate clear lacquer, the colour effect is comparable to an expertly-applied Candy transparent clear-over-base effect system.  The inherent properties of the Latent system provides a much higher tolerance of film thickness variation, resulting in a much more consistent colour and a virtually non-existent window pane effect.

Latent colours are available in three flavours

• Latent Metallics - mimicking a candy over metallic base, either flat or sparkling
• Latent Chromes - mimicking a candy over super high chrome base
• Latent Fluorescents - mimicking a neon over white system

This colour is a 2 part system and to achieve the colour shown, you must apply a clear top coat to activate the colour. We recommend our Crystal Clear 1428.
