It's made by DuPont it's supposed to be decent stuff for the price. Anyone used it and how happy are you with it? Post up pics if you got them!

 

[Tod74]

No pics but I have used the clear. It's cheap but looks good. One car I did in 2004 still looks good.

I had my buddy price color,clear, reducer and hardener and I couldnt believe the price. I just hope the color is good quality...thanks for the input!

It seems to be a lot like the old acrylic enamel we used to use.

 

[19chevelle66]

That good or bad

Color it good. Nail the mix right and you will be doing next to no sanding when you are done.

You did not state if SS or BC/CC. You know the lower quality paints don't cover or match well right?

You did not state if SS or BC/CC. .........

Hey that's right and I was ASSUMING single stage.

 

[19chevelle66]

Base /clear and as far as matching i picked a color from a book i liked...so it will be way off from a sample i got?

Except for small specialty items, I use Nason basecoat exclusively. I don't particularly like the clearcoat, but I did 2/3rds of my Elky with the clearcoat and it has held up well. Sands and buffs nicely and coverage and colormatch are as good as the high dollar stuff. I've never had an unacceptable color match and that includes Corvettes, Lincolns and other nit-picky stuff.

Ordinarily, I use Transtar clear over the Nason basecoat or on some higher end stuff I use DuPont ChromaClear.

I don't like the Nason single stage.

So i may be alright using nason....i want a nice pajnt hob it will not be a trailer queen..i want a nice driver i can show and be proud of...should i use a different clear or try my luck with all nason. Thanks again!

 

[vettefella]

It should be fine especially if you keep it garaged.

 

[19chevelle66]

It will be inside for sure....would u stick with nason clear or upgrade it

I used Nason BC/CC (1994 Blue Pearl) on my 69 about 5 years ago had excellent results. It's actually the same quality as Dupont automotive paints. Here's the answer I got from a Dupont retailer when I asked about the difference; "Nason is so much cheaper than Dupont because it is not OEM color matched for spot/partial repairs, it is made mainly for overall paint jobs or spot repairs on cars previously painted with Nason."

 

[19chevelle66]

Good info, I was Leary because of the price but if it's good quality and I will be happy with it I'm game to try it. I want to have it painted one time and be done...and not have regrets...I'm also building on a budget so Nason seems to fit the bill with me

Nason is basically two steps above Omni, five steps above Summit, and two steps below HOK.

 

[19chevelle66]

That's a good thing I take it lol

 

[Andy's Auto Repair]

That's a good thing I take it lol

If you want a good above driver quality paint, Nason is spot on. Want a million dollar paint job? House of Kolors.

This is my car painted with Nason basecoat and Dupont Clear. The final color I settled on wasn't my first choice, but I am pretty happy with it.

If I had to do it over again, I think I would go with Nason Clear also. We did some of the bottom of the panels in Nason clear, and there was no difference between that and the Dupont clear. The price difference is HUGE though....

 

[19chevelle66]

Wow that turned out great, makes me feel better about the quality
