Both paints are available through PPG's automotive paint division. They are one-stage paints, but can be reformulated to two-stage. I was thinking of going with the one-stage to be more authentic, but Tony didn't sound real enthusiastic: he said one-stage would be less durable, for starters. Any thoughts from the group? |

Have Tony paint a 2'x2' with the reformulated color. Clear coats are more durable, easier to maintain, and are repaired easier... BUT, they might not please your discerning eye. They only way you'll know is to have him paint you a test swatch. |
