HOTRODPAINT: If I can ask you............is it easier and better for hobbiests, like us, to spray single stage (catalyzed) or base coat/ clear coat. I'm talking about getting the nicest end result.
I'm old fashioned and have always used Dupont Centari with hardner, but my body shop friends lead me to believe I am living in the past, and should move up to the new way of doing it.
Not trying to hijack this thread, but felt it would be helpful to rped1 and me, and others in the same boat.
Thanks,
Don

Compared to Centauri, urethanes don't attract as much dust, since they flash quicker, and they don't leave as much overspray stuck to everything else. I'm, "grayheaded", and can still remember having blue and pink hair from Centauri! :-)~

what paint to use
So I should use DBC and then use DC3000 clear? What sealer after the K36 or do I not need a sealer? Is there a single stage in this same series to paint parts ( not sheet metal) I hate to base coat clear coat a master cylinder for example. All help and suggestions are greatly appreciated.

you can go here :

And click on the Product information , then Paint lines , go to Deltron , and you can read up on the DBC , K36 ,DC clears , and the NCS sealers , just go to the left side of screen , it will have a drop down window for clears , sealers/primers , and Top Coats .
It has all the P-sheet info on all the products listed , like Mix ratios, Ideal Temps to spray the product in , Air Pressure settings for HVLP & Conventional guns , ect................
Hope this helps you on your painting adventure
