Here in the Bay Area I am told that single stage original paint is not available due to VOC.
Is this just a Bay Area thing...is it available anywhere else nearby? Sacramento...Modesto...Santa Rosa? Nevada? I am being told that 2 stage with a clear coat is all I can do...I hope there are other options. What advice can you give me? I wish PanelMaster Rick O was nearby...

Here in the Bay Area I am told that single stage original paint is not available due to VOC. As far as i know, the original paint was *not* single stage! When i had my car repainted, i ordered the paint directly from Porsche in Germany. It was very expensive. The shop here in CA did a single stage repaint, and the paint (quality, thickness, hardness) was *nothing* like the original paint that came on the car. I don't believe you can get the exact "original" paint anymore these days. It seems, original paint was much harder, thicker and durable. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) |
