re. Automotive Paint Differences

[Todd Phenneger]

Ben,
  So I can see you used a Sikkens Single Stage paint.  My
question is that AKZO NOBEL "the company that owns Sikkens" has
three different paint lines.
Sikkens
Lesonol
U-Tech

Which one did you use?  I believe "AutoCryl" is their Single
Stage paint.  My worry is that the U-Tech line of paints may not
be as durable as the real Sikkens stuff.  I have used "OMNI"
paint before which is a cheap end PPG and the stuff isn't that
great.  Looks good but the durability is crap.  I dont want that
type stuff on my car.   I KNOW that the Dupont paint will work
GREAT.  But the shop I want to go to doens't use the stuff.
Thats my dilema, finding a good shop or person to shoot the car
that will not overcharge and will use good paint.  IF the U-Tech
paint is not up to snuff then I may go to an independent
Freelance painter to shoot the car and I supply the paint.
  THanks
       Todd
  Thanks
      Todd
