Does anyone have the PPG formula for 1966 Mist Blue, paint code 2D. Looking for formula to mix DBU. My local store has it in Omni, but I have hear the Omni line takes forever to cover. Thanks for any help.

I've not had any problems getting Omni to cover, but I seal everything... I don't have a DBU formula for that code.

My PPG guys said it doesn't cover as well. I used the Omni line it on my sons' 66 Nova and will be using the regular PPG (non-Omni, quitr a bit more pricy I may add) for the Chevelle.

I'll using the same primer sealer for both projects.

Only after I've used it will I be able to tell the difference.

Is this the jobber telling you this??? What color???

Its true, Omni is like water to DBC. (I dont use DBU)

The was the guys where I get my PPG paint mixed. He stated something along the lines that the components that are used for Omni are different.

I used OMNI. '69 Frost Green Metallic. Applied over lt grey. Coverage was excellent. Topcoated with OMNI clear - also went on nice and ahs held up well. Car has couple thousand miles on it since being painted - including having been driven in some hard rain and more than a few trips down the 1/4 mile. Quarters have been covered with burnt rubber - no chips. I would use is again.

They just want to sell the higher priced stuff. The only color I had any issue with, was 1984 Hurst Olds Silver, and that took 4 coats to cover instead of 3. The Silver on my 79 TATA covered fine.

When it gets a bit warmer, I'll do a test panel with the new PPG stuff. Then I'll be able to tell.....
