Everyone,
In regards to my quest to find modern paint formulas, I want to mention
that the formulas are strictly within the Glasurit Paint manufacturer
and may not be cross-referenced to other brands (like Dupont and PPG). I
have been using more of this German made paint because of it's quality
and other important features which I will discuss. I feel that the
single stage Urethane Acrylics (Glasurit #22 line) or just single stage
paints in general, is better suited for the older classic autos that
originally were sprayed with enamel or lacquer than the two-stage paints
(basecoat, then clearcoat). Secondly, the Glasurit line has a wider
spectrum of pigments, which should allow near perfect color matches.
Thirdly, I have a top notch Glasurit supply business, in my local area
(Dayton OH), that actually have intelligent office personnel and are
devoted to serving the customer's request in a professional manner (like
helping me match all these Alpine colors!). The other local suppliers
(Dupont and PPG) fall way short.
Many have asked for paint formulas, within 24 hours of Ian's posting,
and I would be pleased to give you the reference paint codes, but these
codes refer back to the Glasurit line. If you have any ideas on how to
organize some generic paint formulas, so that everyone would be pleased
to use their preferred paint line, bring it up and lets talk about it. I
was also thinking about one idea of selling the paint to you, which I
would have mixed locally. Let me hear what you would like to do on this
matter.
Thanks,
Jan Servaites
