I've got a '75 Palma Green Metallic that is almost ready for new paint. I'm in the process of sanding down and priming. My question is with this metallic paint, is it best to go with a two stage color then clear coat than a single stage? My understanding is that you can't color sand with the metallic fleck in it. But I don't know so that's why I'm askin. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/rolleyes.gif)
The attached photos are what I want the car to look like again. Attached image(s)

Hey Scotty....
What brand of single stage did you use on the RED car? It looked awesome...even though it sucked for you. That thing buffed out very nice... I am switching to PPG for my next car...that store I went to uses Sikkens which did not perform well IMHO... Rich |

I really should get free material for all the pimping I do for them (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Only other paints I would use on a really nice job would be Glasurit or Standox. Standox has been the Porsche factory paint since the late 90's IIRC It is the same as Spies to the point I can use Spies hardener and reducer with Standox bases and clears. Same parent company (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Same price (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) Glasurit taint cheap either, but if there is ANY paint that may be better than Spies it would be Glasurit. I don like sikkens at all. Bad experience (IMG:style_emoticons/default/barf.gif) I don't personally know of any high end painters that do use it. PPG is good though, I just don't know their product line. A somewhat cheaper and still good single stage would be DuPont's Centari. |
