    I use PPG's D893 Global Clear over PPG's DBC & DBU , its rubs like butter even after its been cooked 140 for 40 minutes and sit for 4 days .
    PPG stands behind it so I have been using it over their base for 7 years and seen no come backs .
    I never liked PPG's 2002 or 2042 as if you didnt hit the buff window just right it was like buffing marble !

    I've used the Global clear, sure goes on nice!!! No bake oven here, so I let it set a couple days, and still have an easy time with the cut and buff!!!! Managed to wrangle an invitation to a PPG seminar at one of the Body Shop supply joints for next month. It's a two day deal, should be interesting!!! Hopefully I can learn a bit.

    http://www.southernpolyurethanes.com/ I have switched from using ppg to SPI. I still am forced to use PPG'S base coats because SPI does not have a lot of colors yet. My Brother has also switched. They are mail order only.
    Their epoxy primer is like the old PPG's dp The tech support can not be beat. Call Berry & talk to him....

    Nason is built by Dupont. I like their stuff and haven't had one bit of problem. I really like their self etching primers.
