Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.
Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG) |

@Van B
i've worked out the same thing is going on down here as USA. i have a bit of an interest in this as m who owns the workshop is talking about repainting his "flachbau". i don't think its a real one. but its still pretty good. i wanted to get an answer on this because i was getting a sinking feeling from this thread topic. i checked through all the BASF dealers in aus. its not as big a list as USA. only takes the time to drink a coffee. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) despite BASF website listing 22line, 55line, 90line and 100 - the only thing on all the dealers websites is 90 and 100. period. not even 55. seems to me BASF has withdrawn 100% from solvent based paint supply in aus! i don't think the alternative aussie paint dealer here is doing anything illegal. he is openly selling on a public website with a legit business that retails all sorts of high end auto paint. he must be tacitly tolerated by BASF because they don't want to manufacture or bring it in anymore themselves, so they just let him do it, still money in the parent company's pocket? it must still meet epa (aus) standards (for now) or he would be shut down. its too out in the open to not be kosher at present. but what i can conclude is that its days are very clearly numbered. the crunch may also be coming here sooner than folks think? i reckon @Superhawk996 might be spot on here. if you want urethane then you are going to be down to whatever supplier or manufacturer is left standing. and cross your fingers they can come up with the colour/quality. australia always follows the USA scenario, so its only a matter of time in our neck of the woods. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif) EDIT as a further clarification, the indi dealer has got 22, 55 and 90 but no 100. he does not get access to the 100. |
