Automotive Paint

[djaggs]

Does anyone know much about automotive paint ?

Are there any specific brands that might be preferable over others ??

Im interested in a non metallic finish.

Ask yuh painter what's his preference some painters won't touch a different brand

If you are not using metallic ,you are going with a straight colour. You can do it in a direct gloss paint which uses a thinner and hardener alone. You can also do it in a basecoat /clearcoat system. The thing to consider is cost and durability. Automotive art is a good choice, price is good and it's easy to apply and buff. Penta is also very good and reasonably priced. There are many other paints ,but like I said, it boils down to what you want to spend and what results you want.

Bro. Use sherwin William automotive paints. Painted a vehicle 9 years ago and still look great. Don't use penta. outlets can't mix paint and sell you thinners loose and you will have problems

I've been using Penta for thirty five years, every single day ,owned a Penta outlet and cannot complain. I painted a Bentley ,Rolls Royce and many other exotic cars in it and no problems.I painted an RX 7 in penta and redid it because of an accident 14 years later. A lot of people blame the paint ..........
You know that Penta is a franchisee for Nexa Autocolor, one of the biggest brands worldwide. PPG,Right?

This. Have been using Penta for many years now without any problems. It really boils down to personal preference.
