normie May 16th, 01, 5:27 PM I will be buying House of Kolor paints for my Velle (yes WAY ahead of myself here) and have a question. Can anyone tell me the difference between "Urethane" and "PolyUrethane"?? Which is better in durability etc and why.. Appreciate the help MARTINSR May 16th, 01, 5:45 PM A "urethane" is usually made of unique toners to a "quality" of paint. "polyuretane" is made up of "many" or "poly" urethane resins. Sometimes the Polyurethane is just a "converted" arcylic enamel and is made off the enamel mixing bank. Urethane is more of a "fleet" finish like for trucks VERY durable, but a little short on the looks department. Polyurethane is more directed towards the collision industry and more closely matches the OEM finish in appearance. ------------------ 1965 Buick Gran Sport Convertible 1965 Buick Skylark H/T "Fan of most anything that moves human beings" normie May 16th, 01, 5:50 PM OK so which one is better?? In looks and durability combined? I can also go with a Lacquer system.. But I want something that Looks good, is durable, and can be sprayed without added difficulty. So which one should I use?

It's sanding and buffability is easy providing you do it a day or two after you paint the car. JSL May 18th, 01, 3:42 PM laquer is out. its a thing of the past and doesnt last. stick with the basecoat/clearcoat system or single stage urethane bb67H-D May 18th, 01, 7:21 PM normie, if you know what your doing jon kosmoski's house of kolor system is A +++ paint. Not to many cars are painted with his system, but myself and buddies have had painted our H-D's with his paints over the years with great results. ----------- Brett '67 SS396 clone normie May 19th, 01, 7:39 AM Bret..
