Thread: what paint system to use

Tweet

I'm about as "dinosaur" as they come on using new stuff. I shoot the bc/cc stuff now, and would never go back to single stage!!!

As far as DuPont, I believe I would go with their bc/cc system. I've shot a bit of Concept, tough as nails but I prefer the two stage paints.... I'm certainly no pro painter by any stretch of the imagination, just letting you know what works for me..

If you already have DP90 on the vehicle , I would recommend staying with PPG .
K-36 will go over the DP90 just fine and give excellent adhesion ( after some scuffing if the DP has sit over 72 hours )
I have used PPG's Deltron DBU system since it came out in the late 80's , it drys quick as it has a reactive reducer ( in 3 different temps ) that kicks to speed up dry times .
PPG also has another Deltron base coat system more people use today its called DBC , it lays flatter but takes a few more minutes to flash , but it does have a hardner that you can use to speed up dry times .
Use the new DC3000 High Velocity Clear , it mixes 4-1 with DCH Catalyst that comes in 3 different temp variables . no Reducer required .

I have painted several friends cars in my garage with DBU & Global clear and have excellent results , just make sure you have good air flow , as if you dont you may get solvent popping from the paint gasses not getting out .
