Napa would carry these products?Comment

Most NAPA stores should carry paint for bodyshops, although not all of them have mixing machines-at least around here.Originally posted by PhillyG View Post
My friend that paints recommends BASF R&M as he finds it easy to spray and since the base reduces 2 to 1, so you won't have to buy as much basecoat paint to do the job. You could also go with BASF Glasurit, but it is more expensive. We used their R&M line on my car during the repaint.Eric Giles

DuPont or ppg seem to be easier for the novice painter.
I've worked in shops that have used all 3.
when we did a switch over to RM from ppg it seemed to take the painters longer to get is sussed out with things like flop and tinting.
it is really up to you.
i would however go to a automotive paint supply to get your paint instead of napa. they are better suited to match your colours and can do a custom mix if neededseien Sie größer, als Sie erscheinen

Glasurit is what BMW uses. use what ever is cheap if your doing a DIY in a garage thing, the quality you see won't be there from hi-end products in a no professional environment.Comment
