Her white factor needs uped slightly.

W2 IS gorgeous, but it is VERY lethal! Just keep that part in mind!

What I'm seeing is that you put both of the KP alleles on the same strand, the sire's side. She needs to have KP on both strands, the sire's side and the dam's side. You do need two kit mutations as well. Right now she has just one, White 20, so plan on adding another Kit mutation. I'd also second upping the white factor a little.

I can't find the post....and I've spent a good hour looking! :)) just try upping the white factor and rerolling her first. It might save you the money of adding another Kit gene.

Guys I'm sure a second copy of w20 won't get you what you need. KP2 needs a white marking already showing to have something to modify. KP/KP2 look really cool together, but you do need a second kit gene for them to interact with.
Because w2 is a very strong gene, it will show up at a very low white factor without overpowering the rest of the horse's coat. It does combine as a lethal gene, yes, but I think it's also your best bet. :) This modification will only cost you one GMT, and I think it's all you need. The w20 raises your white factor artificially.

Also, Appaloosa and roan won't be affected by KP2 either. Ammit chose to have those markings an exception.

You're having a lot of information thrown at you, Heavenly, and a lot of it is conflicting. My information comes from a combination of the Facebook discussion and the original post. :) Plus some breeding of my own.

Here is a w2/w20 horse without any KP:

This is one of mine, with KP2, one copy of w2, and a low but not the lowest white factor--you need both alleles of Kit used for KPregular to have any effect:

Lastly, I have seen KP and KP2 interact, and it's wicked cool. But I can't find it again and I don't know how to replicate it.

I hope you can figure out the cheap way to get a look you like! :)

I would use a sabino kit Gene as the second Gene or for both kit genes. It's much less lethal, and KP2 does amazing things with it. It also looks beautiful with kit M if you can manage to save up the GMTs. Both are lower on the lethal chart. Kit M allows you to see more color from your horse even if the white factor is higher. Sabino genes tend to white out your horse with higher white factors if there is a W20 Gene. (At least this has been my experience.). Hope that helps.

oooh he looks so good! :D Sabino was a great choice.

He is absolutely gorgeous! Congratulations!
