Happy to answer questions
Sikkens I have never used it.
I did a little research it appears to be a urethane, I tried to find product data sheet but when I did it locked up my computer
Akzo Noble a U.K company also makes Dulux I remember shooting in early 90s on used car lot cars it was horrible but they also make Liquid Nail I like it.
I like to steer people to the best industrial- commercial type paints like used on semi-trucks or aircraft because lets face it how often is you're car going 200 mph
DuPont Aviation Finishes are Skydrol®-resistant
Let me give a brief statement on paint
I would like to start out with the types of paint singal stage or base coat clear coat
I will start out with singal stage there are polyurethanes,enamel urethanes,acrylic urethanes and probably worst kinds
As far as I am concerned polyurethanes (industrial- commercial) are the best.
Base coat clear coat
there two types the automotive type or the industrial- commercial type
the automotive the base coat has no hardner if you chip your clear coat there is no protection oil, thinner or mother nature can easily get in between surface and clear base coat can easily wipe off with mild thinner or detergent may be easiest to apply possibly harder to repair due to crinkling for novice cheaper singal stage paint can have same crinkling problems
If you suffer from this problem use faster thinner use light coats, heat surface
industrial base coat has hardner- best
clear coat for b/c -As far as I am concerned polyurethanes are the best
Dupont line ranking
nason- economy automotive
chromabase-top of the line automtive
imron 3.5-industrial high voc singal stage
imron 5.0-industrial low voc singal stage
imron 3000 or 5000-industrial singal stage never used
imron 6000-industrial b/c very nice
imron aviation finishes singal stage af3500 and af400 for riveted
imron aviation finishes b/c af700 base and af740 clear
top fill primers uro 1140s may be discontinued
af uro 135202
I prefer imron or imron aviation finishes it has done well for me
follow the instructions use accelerator where allowed if orange peel reduce more
Sand everywhere use a good preclean r&m 900? or klean strip
Make sure your air compressor can keep psi for length of time you will be spraying use a hvlp gun
Be leary of paint shops using generic hardners you cant tell for a few year
I really hope this helps.
