Paint Questions

The tech sheet provided by the manufacturer will answer your questions. Every paint mfg has their own recommendations, and it varies by product. If you need help finding the technical sheets, post what specific brand of paint and which system you plan to use and we can help.

As an example of the info available, is a link to the product page of PPGs popular DBC basecoat. Click on the page to d/l the technical sheet to get an idea.

It would also be useful to look up the sheet for the paint you used to find out how long it takes to cure, material type,etc.

Ok ive bounced a few ideas off some folks. I recently shot my Scamp with Urethane Single Stage. Monster runs so I sanded it back down and its sat that way for a bit. I need to buy more paint... I was looking at buying Urethane Basecoat/clear system.


1. Will i have to seal the car before switching?

2. If i stay with the Urethane Single Stage I should be able to just prep it and shoot right?

I guess what I really dont understand is that if they are both urethane based paints why i would have to seal if I switched to the Urethane basecoat system.
