DuPont Hot Hues™ provides a complete system of custom finishing products, which includes special two- and three-stage basecoat colors, concentrated candy dyes, and other special effect finishes.  The system also features undercoats that make vehicle preparation simple and easy-to-use as well as clearcoats that provide outstanding appearance. 

Professional customizers can create their own colors using the Hot Hues™ color offering by adding any of the Hot Efx™ pearls and other special effect pigments to the hundreds of Hot Colors Basecoats.  Hot Hues™ features popular basecoat colors like Midori Sour and Green Xtreme (greens), Blue Mood and Sapphire Trance (blues), and Medieval Forest and Shamrock (greens).  In addition to these vivid colors, a collection of soft pastel colors include shades such as: Buttercup, Key Lime, Cool Peach and Soft Violet.  The offering also includes industry builder signature colors:  Boyd Red and Smooth Yellow (Boyd Coddington), Himsl Platinum and Moon Dust (Dominator Street Rods), and Rutterscotch (Rutterz Rodz).  Hot Hues continues to create new and exciting colors such as Sedona Dust and Black ‘n Blue.

If it’s that “old school” look you’re after, choose Hot Hues™ Hot Rod Black.  This 2K single-stage product provides excellent matte finish and color retention without chalking or fading.  It is also ideal for under hood, graphics, stripes and accents.

The Hot Candy Color concentrated dye offering provides superior color purity, clarity and brightness.  They are available in 10 vibrant colors:  Lazer Blue, True Blue, Hot Raspberry, Apple Red, Molten Orange, Golden Honey, Lemon Mist, Irish Green, Root beer and Charcoal candy concentrate.  The Hot Candy Colors dye concentrates are compatible with all Hot Hues™ Hot Colors Basecoats to offer endless styling options.  With these products, the color possibilities are only limited to your imagination. 

Once you’ve chosen your color, Hot Hues™ offers three clearcoats that have an incredibly deep, wet-looking finish that begs to be shown off.  Or if you need a flat clear for use on vehicle interior dash or console, choose Hot Hues™ versatile, matted clearcoat that allows the custom painter to select the desired level of gloss.

DuPont introduced Hot Hues™ Hot Pinstripe Efx ™, high performance striping colors providing exceptional coverage, gloss and clearcoat compatibility.  They deliver superior results with trouble-free application and excellent brushability.  Hot Hues™ Hot Pinstripe Efx™ are perfect for adding customization to any OEM finish or custom vehicle as they can be used over or under a clearcoat.  Available in 20 popular solid and metallic colors, they are easy to use for a novice graphic artist or the most experienced pinstriper.

The special effect product line includes:  eight powder pearl and four xirallic additives which give a sparkling or gem-like appearance to a custom paint job;  and Hot Efx™ Brilliantz ™, a unique defractive pigment which provides smooth, satin-like rainbow colors.  

 One of the most popular components of our website is Hot Hues™ Paint Shop, a free, web-based program that allows users to “paint” a virtual vehicle, choosing from an array of Hot Hues™ Custom Finishes.  This program allows the custom vehicle pictures to be printed, and provides a list of all the necessary Hot Hues™ materials required to bring the virtual paint scheme to reality.
