PPG versus Dupont

Actually, Jack - I wanted to use Ditzler until Ricky showed me they were the same.
 
Newkie, I once saw a car that was painted with wall, gloss latex and applied with a brush and roller ($25 paint job). It looked very good at 200 Meters. If you want to save money go to Home Depot. ? ? You don't want to try to save money on paint for a car that you will be proud of for the next 10-30 years.
Go with the best paint you can get even if it costs an extra $200. After it't painted you don't want to tell people that you should have done, but you saved $ $.
Bottom Line - - You will have to live with.

That’s because they’re shooting it.

I’ve always found that craftsmen tend to lean toward what they enjoy doing, and can’t comprehend that I want things done to please me, not them.

Anyway, as long as it’s what you want you’re good to go.

Ditzler is PPG. R-M is BASF.


PC.
 
Ricky, my bodyman, mixed up some Ditzler & some R&M - both to the same color - & put them both on a stick of aluminum......after they dried, there was no difference & I coudn't even find the line where one started & the other stopped....& R&M was less expensive!
