Not sure if this will help.. http://www.vernicispray.com/1801921...onda-ei-accord-4dr-r500p-sicilian-red-prl.jsp
^ nah nothing on that Sicilian ....maybe swimming with the fishes this one looks good Garnet red ...looks like single stage /looks deep deep
my first choice was High Octane Red Pearl in bc/cc but now I would have to go to some dodge dealer that has one so I can see it up front bcs its hard to judge from pics online ......the more pics I see of it the more champagnie like it looks to me .......the 2nd pic is what I'm kinda looking for (maybe bcs its in the shade )..................but now open to options
well I spent 2 hours plus looking at reds at my local paint guys .....and their not the most helpful at that the more I saw the more what the heck ....hahahhhahaah I have narrowed my choices to these 3 : 1) GM redfire metallic 2) Dodge Inferno Red Pearl 3) 2000 corvette magnetic red metallic
I use a 1.3 for everything except Primer, just adjust speed , fluid and air psi to accommodate what ever product I'm using
My experience has been kind of hit and miss for paint adhesion to epoxy used as a sealer. I think if it was fully cured then scuffed with scotch brite, that may not be bad. We went to catalyzed urethane sealer instead. When using most of the newer non chromated epoxy primers on bare metal, it's best to use a metal treatment for maximum adhesion. I think Glasurit is one of the only brands still selling chromated epoxy. PPG, DuPont, R-M, etc. discontinued them several years ago.
also picked up all supplies ,went with the dbc high octane red asking them for advice on what PPG clear to use and after a long discussions of my project and needs with the guys at my local PPG they recommenced a HS clear brand I never heard of maybe you guys might know or heard of it ou: ...they counter guy told me its equal or better than the older PPG 2055 ,so I went with their advice Automotive Art HS 50 Top Clear 82-50 is perfect for painters requiring a high performance, European Clear with over 50% solid content. 2:1 Euro clear Very high gloss Super transparent Never yellows Super hard finish Easy to polish Extremely good adhesion Simple mixing ratio Multiple speeds of hardener
Cant find much info on this "Automotive Art " clear but after emailing the head of USA distribution in Florida he writes back : And also after talking to the PPG local paint store again he simply tells me no worries its great quality and says if I dont feel comfortable with it to bring it back and pick out a PPG clear and he can make more $ ......so seems I will be the test pilot/guinea pig for it ou::grin:
Just to report on that Automotive Art HS Clear ....It looks good ,especially the flat panels hood ,trunk etc with only 2 coats,smooth as ice . The side panels ok but I blame myslef bcs my passes were to fast... but will be flow coating the side panels in a few days since its my first bc/cc I have no other brand of clear to judge against/with but the ppg guys recommendation was worthy time will tell me about its longevity
