i was wondering what the difference between these two types

faster drying?
lays better?
not as dull??


any input will help, im gonna paint my car soon

 

wrong forum i think but i need to know as well

 

paint is paint. i dont have alot of experience in the paint shop, but i work in a body shop and i went to school for auto body. i painted my red eg hatch w/ chromabase. the paint is just a prefrence. where i work they use nexa and i work a freakin caddy dealership. ive never heard of nexa b4 i started here. ive had many opinions from many painters. its all in just want u like. or the painter likes. u can lay any kind of paint wet or dry. its all in the painter. hope that helps.

 

what about for clear. I heard nason's clear turns yellowish a little

 

NASON is that cheap ****. chromabase clear 2300hc/2400s is real good imo, use it all the time. transstar clear is real good to. but like they said before what ever the painter like's they use. oh and to answer your question, chromabase is alot more vibrant color then capa base. that's why they call it chromabase

 

PPG DCU2021 FTW!

 

thx for the info

 

chromabase laid real good, when i painted my eg. it was shinin!!!! nason clear is a lil yellowish tint. but its all in your own opinion. or well the painter.

 

i used nason base and nason clear my first job...Didnt like the clear at all..

Second time used nason base again but went with chromabase clear and came out much nicer!!

PPG DBC and DBU ftw.

 

Chromabase is ALL my father and i use, then glamour clear on top of it for that baller shine.

 

Oh yeah glad to see someone else knows about PPG!
Ill put PPG up against Dupont anyday of the week. Been happy with PPG for a while now. Thats all I use.
Tried Nason but don't like it very much.
PPG here.....
First time I painted it.

Second time due to me running over a rotor in the middle of the road.and shaved the antenna

 

thats clean man. im happy w dupont. last time i messd with ppg, it messd up. we had tintable ppg primer to prime a civic pink, for my buddies girl. and that primer was thin as hell and didnt cover up very well. other than that time i havent used it. use wat u want, painters choice. i also used nason once and hated it. not good quality. very dull.

 

this is 7779 clear from dopont

 

^^^^^
Damn nice shine. Might try Dupont next time I spray something.
