Hey i was just wondering which paint is better between ppg and basf?

 

both have budget - mid range and high end paint sub brands, i know BASF better and i know that limco is the budget brand, and diamonte is the mid/high end brand

 

Good paint comes from proper prep, application, and finishing.

 

true, but certain brand base coats and clear coats determine the way the finish can look, and last

 

And thats what I'm trying to find out

 

i like limco as a budget brand, but only for a full repaint, it will never work when blending panels on a factory repair, i used the nighthawk black pearl basecoat on my own car, and their 4100 clear coat is supposed to be pretty top notch as well, all for a very good price.

 

put it this way... BASF is so big that more then likely... a majority (not all, but a majority) of the other paint companies out there are actually using BASF paint, labeled under watever company they are. BASF is that big

just dont shortchange yourself by doing a $50 paint job... invest some money in good paint.. and you should be solid.

 

basf is the best because it has glasurit which is the best paint ever, and for spawne32 limco sucks ***

 

I work at mercedes in the body shop and all we use is BASF glasurit paint. Its also what I painted my car with 55 line base coat tints

 

So I'm confused is there different types of basf paint?

 

yes there is diff lines of basf paint

check the basf site

ppg's shopline is great stuff at a good price, their jc660 clear is sick.

 

sucks alot of *** doesnt it

 

yeah it does i can see alot of orange peel and dry spots, like i said limco sucks

 

glasurit 55 line base and glasurit 923-255 clear coat. My first time ever painting a car.

This is right out of the booth after it baked.



Here is how it looks now

 

just goes to show how much you know about painting :rofl: if you had any sort of knowledge in the field you would know that that has nothing to do with the brand or quality of the paint, it has to do with how it was sprayed. dumbass

 

orange peel has to do with quality of paint just as much as the painter itself you dumbshit go paint at maaco some more

 

:rofl: stuns me how you know nothing about painting

 

you know whats best of all? thats not even limco clear on the car :rofl: its ****in glasurit LOL your such a retard, we only used the limco on the basecoat

 

Ok lets not get off topic on this one.... So should I go with the basf glasurit base and clear or the glasurit base and a different clear... I just want the best results for my car, I am a noob at paint so I was just curious.

 

sure thing maaco ethug

 

depends on how expensive you want to go, i paid 250 for the gallon size clear kit for limco 4100 clear, the same thing in glasurit is almost 500, not counting you will need at least a gallon of basecoat, i paid 125 for a gallon of nighthawk black pearl in limco base and the glasurit base is about 350

 

not really u can lay down a very nice glass coat with advantage clear and a very orange peel'd coat with a very top end clear (as in ppg or what ever your brand of choice is) all depending on what your regulator is set or how fast/slow you lay it down...and thats why even professionals have to sand/buff....dumbass

 

if everthing is set the same according to you low quality and high quality clear will look the same , yeah right dumbass

 

wtf when did i say if everything was set to the same??? shouldnt make assumptions! re read it maybe acouple times for you you seem pretty stupid then maybe, just maybe u might get it.....
