I’m looking to do an all over on a 72 in this color. Our forum Chad who has hooked me up many times can’t mix this in motobase, and my body shop friend with a metalux mixing bank has zero info either. Other codes are Dark Olive/Dark Green poly 506 WE5185 Ppg 2207 dupont 42770 Those are my 2...

Is anyone doing this? I’ve always done it by hand with 800 when doing 3 coats then three more. But wondering why 6 or 800 on an interface pad would not work just fine. 3 coats of euro on, putting 3 of universal on top. Euro is a week old.

Has anyone had experience with these? Aside from needing some minor crack repair which a skilled guy at a boat shop is handling (no paint expert) they are made of SMC (?) and have an odd granular textured finish on the outside. My gut says epoxy prime and sand only but wondering if there are any...

Looking to see what is being used to hang door shells, fenders etc to paint both sides. Sick of hanging off wires and stuff blowing around. Thought of making something with an engine stand but would like to be able to do 2 doors at once. Whats out there?

Just sprayed 2 coats of regular Euro at 4-1-1, slow activator, slow spi reducer, In the 2nd coat I added ONE capful of spi retarder to a mixed quart, it really seemed to help flow it out (a hood and 2 fenders) but I got a few sags on the fenders, still getting used to the euro only 2nd time...

So one of the few times a winter that I dare to drive my mint original 88 740 Volvo wagon was last night, and needless to say I regret it because a nice big deer decided to end the 30 years of no paint work....I do a lot of painting but mostly complete stuff, I'm not a collision expert. I have...

Doing a 2 tone job on a 78 GMC 4x4 (green upper and lower, white center) , and looking to spice up the white just a little.........Ive found a bunch of whites i like that have a hint of silver or gold in them, which is fine but I'm looking not to do tricoat and thats what they all seem to be. Im...

About to finish up 4 coats of dbc cortez silver on a 70 chevelle. Going to lay out stripes and spray tonight. (spi black base) Do i have to clear it tomorrow? Any adverse effects from letting it sit for a while? I was thinking about letting the silver sit overnight before stripes then letting...

Getting ready to paint my 70 chevelle (all spi primers, ppg dbc silver base and universal clear). Last coat of primer was wet sanded with 600, as I understand according to the 2k tech sheet it needs scuffed before base, what color pad will not mess up the 600 scratches but still surface it...

After reading all the product spec sheets for all the spi primers, the only one that does not spell out in bold letters not to spray on bare metal is the turbo. I have some projects where another step (epoxy) would be unnecessary and also for collision work, can the turbo be sprayed DTM?

Need to epoxy the rear frame on a 3/4 ton chevy- (06 2500hd)….temps in the northeast have settled down, all our shops are freezing, and I want to epoxy this frame while the bed is off. I will NOT be top coating the epoxy. Anything wrong with spraying in the morning, keeping it warm till evening...

Looking for examples of clear over different colors with flattener added, have an idea of an allover satin job (1970 chevelle Green) and need some inspiration…...

Does anyone use this base and if so, can spi reducer be used instead of the glasurit? ( I have all kinds of spi ) and also would it still be ok to activate with uc activator ?

I am about to start stripping my 55 chevy 4 door (mostly original paint) and as all of us are aware winter is fast approaching. I am in Maine, and do have heat in the shop but to get metal temps of 65, to keep the shop at 75 for days at a time in the really cold weather is hard. Also I only have...

Forgot to bring in a quart each of activator and uc for the winter. It got down to 28 or 30 several times in the shop. Is it any good?

I have a 55 chevy belair Coral/Gray two tone to paint this spring. The only CORRECT color I can find was by a body shop in Florida that used BASF products (they used glasurit) and have provided me with the formula. I am unable to source glasurit 55 base in the northeast, and my closest BASF...

I'm trying to work up the courage to try UC, have gotten used to the hok and am wondering how it acts compared to the hok... any input is appreciated! Bryan
