SPI Single Stage

Squires

Hello and Thanks. Been mixing PPG Deltron for quite a few years. I have used some of you products and was pleased. My question is can you covert to a SPI formula using a test panel or do you ship mixed product? Same question for base. Thanks Jon
 
I think if understand the question, no.
We only make 7 colors and will be adding another red and 2 blues if i can figure out.
We dont have a mixing system to take a paint code and pour up a gallon.
 
It might be possible to mix something up yourself using SPI colors, but it would be your own recipe. Once the blues come out, it will be possible to come up with quite a few different solid shades.
 
We are and will be limited in our colors as the last audit showed 71% of our business was Restoration shops, street rod shops and misc custom cycle painters and plan and boats we could never come up with colors for 30's thru 60's in our lifetime.
We have a number of shops that make their own such as one takes our white and gets only the tints to be added to the white and mates the all over they are doing on the early vettes and some have played similar games with the orange and reds.
As long as you use good base system tints this is not a problem, just stay away from the crap systems.
 
I've been away from the forum for a little while, so this is the first I've heard of new blue colors. This is AWESOME !!! Any idea when they might be available ?
 
Some blue would be amazing! Any idea on when they would be available?

I'm trying to make this where each batch is a perfect match to the other batches so I'm not doing the color matching myself.
The one pigment company supplier I use could not accomplish what I wanted, so have sent wet samples to the other pigment company we use and see if they can get it done.
To explain, if they can do it they will blend the tints and I will stock the mixed tints in drums and when I make the formula all I will do is add the tint load to my formula like I do with the black as my milling machine cannot grind the carbon as fine as needed for a black/Black.
