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...

I am thinking it was a single stage enamel?

I am thinking it was a single stage enamel? Primer/color/no clear coat Outside of the single stage discussion, I wonder if that description of how Porsche painted their cars applies to the 914. For example I find it hard to believe that given you have something such as the heater tubes sealed up inside of the longitudinals that they dipped the entire body in a phosphoric acid bath? But maybe they did. Wasn't that dip process used on the later 911s and not the 914s? Richard |
