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...

Jeff, Calif's CARB has outlawed all of the old school solvent based paints used here in state by the bigger shops in quantity - or even for ordering it into CA delivery.
My buddy with the original Bahia Red 71 /4 wanted about a pint of solvent based original single stage paint (that's done in multi-coats for SirAndy (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) ) to be shipped to a detailer here in OC to airbrush out a fender/wheellip stucco scrape he did pushing it in his garage. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/blink.gif) The detailer couldn't order it. Had Jerry known, he'd have had them ship it to his brother in AZ & get it from him when he comes over to CA! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/dry.gif) Sekkends, Glasurit & some others were OEM suppliers who still make the OEM type of solvent based paints (both in colors & metallics), but you'd have to have it shipped to a buddy out of CA, then have them get it to you. Of note - aside from material differences in water-based vs. solvent-based - after time if you're trying to match an older paint color (even black & white), apparently the mix codes won't match up exactly, and most of the local CW detailers around here recco having it actually color matched at the paint supplier of choice with their "gun" & order it that way, and even then do a color match. I'm sure guys like Scotty B, Rick, etc. know how to do this for you too. If you're respraying the whole car, then it's not as much of a problem to match. Here's a good paint topic on here FYI - http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=39488&st=0 & Glasurit: http://color-online.glasurit.com/?language=8 https://www.basfrefinish.com/cgi-bin/capbsm...httpsredirect=Y ....& for those outside of the USA - http://www.glasurit.com/languages Good Luck!
