What did 914's come with originally. I am told VW and Porsche were some of the first manufacturers to use clear coats. My local paint dealers can mix the colour codes I provide them but cannot find if they were enamels or clear coated.

QUOTE "I would use a nice single stage urethane like Dupont's Cromaone. You wet sand it and buff it just like the clear coats out there now. This is like the factory paint on steroids." Excuse my ignorance. I've only painted stock cars before and received quite good results without wetsanding, but never painted a street car. What grit wet sand would you use? Would it not be possible to get the shine a body shop or factory would get without the wetsanding? Dupont's Cromaone - is it an acrylic enamel? |
