RE: [Chevelle-list] restoration paints
Along the same topic, I've been looking at vinyl dyes. PPG has the UCV system that I'd like to use for kick panels and bucket seat backs and sides. It seems more like a coating than a dye. I think that I'll buy the dye in the bulk (pint?) quantity and shoot it with a gun. It appears that the system is to use the cleaner (UK 403) then conditioner (UK 405) then coating (DMVXX where XX depends on color) and finally clear coat (UCV71 or UCV69 for non-glare dashpad). Has anyone used this system?

Re: [Chevelle-list] restoration paints
IMO SW paints are the best. Of course I am employed by them and am a stockholder so I may be a bit biased. I know that they try to cover all the possible problems before they become problems and formulate around them. Anyone needing 20% discount cards I have 2 left.

Re: [Chevelle-list] restoration paints
Should be Cortez Silver, RPO # 69. I agree with Wayne. The top name products are all very close in quality. The top coat should be the same brand as the prep coats. These companies sell systems that are tested for compatibility (i.e top coat adherence to primer coat) so you should stick with a system.

Re: [Chevelle-list] restoration paints
My question to the body shop/painter would be, who's paint did you use on the panels in prep for finail coat ? If he used a generic brand then it's a moot point, but if he used th e PPG system or Dupont system. then IMO you don't MIX the products... I always like when a sales man comes in to the body shop and tryes to sell his paint line . have that be PPG,. Sherwin Willimans. Keystone,Silkeinnes (sp) they always say this product is as good as Duponts Etch prime, or High Build, OR coverage in there translucent base colors. bottom lime all the front runners have great products, - Original Message - From: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "The Chevelle Mailing List" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Sunday, May 16, 2004 11:50 PM Subject: Re: [Chevelle-list] restoration paints > I am in the process of getting my car painted, and the painter has given me a choice of paints.
