IM INTERESTED IN USING THIS PAINT PLANNING ON SPRAYING MY CAR. ANYBODY HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE WITH THIS PAINT. PROS AND CONS. THANKS

 

please dont type all cap, it's annoying and you can't read all caps without getting pissed.

shopline is old name for PPG omni, not sure you can still find shopline label around anymore.

omni is cheap, it take more to get the same coverage(like for white, yellow, etc), the reducer is junk

it's a decent paint for the price but if you have a little extra money, you could go up to deltron or concept.

you can get 3qt of bc, reducer, a gallon of clear and hardener for solid colur around 350 for omni.

 

350 is about right. how much is the deltron or concept? how much better are those than omni? is sherwin williams any good? expensive paint just lays out flatter or what differences does it make? sorry op

 

actually the omni is the old name. they renamed it to shopline. I have read that shopline were supposed to be a little higher quality than omni. i just bought the prep stuff (epoxy and high build) and probably going deltron for base and a high grade clear. just wanted to put out what i've read if i'm wrong that just shows my newbness...

 

sorry about the caps, didnt realize. im new to painting and i jus prepped and primed a fender with it and it came out better than i expacted but ive been told that primer is always a lot easier to spray. thanks for the input so far

good primer is very forgiving

deltron is actually not that much more, they lay much better coverage than omni, at least for my colour. omni's paint doesn't carries as much as "pigment", it would take alot more to cover up if you are shooting color like solid white or nightmare yellow

you might be right, i must be smoking some good crack last night

not sure about quality part of your answer tho, like i said, if you can afford it, get something better. you get much for for your money

 

Shopline isn't too bad. I like BASF DC5300 out of all the clears I spray. Here is a pic of a job I did with Shopline clear.

 

wow that's the shopline stuff? I might have to try it out.

 

shop line is basically clears and primer no color...omni is the cheap stuff but i hear alot of poeple havin problems layin omni clear flat
