Title: Which paint?
Post by: kstt on August 01, 2005, 06:30:06 am
OK...I'm getting close to being ready to paint my Cavalier 72. What's the call, guys? Dupont Centauri? What are the current correct codes? Or should it be Pittsburgh? Or S/W? Again, what codes? Thanks!

How about PPG products...?
Centauri is good but I think the PPG Concept is better...  :;):

Do you have code #s? Is a clear coat recommended, as well?

PPG concept is a single stage paint. Awesome paint,shine. I use it all the time with great results. I listed paint codes in a previous thread, if you can't find it let me know and I'll repost them. I will not be home til this weekend. :)

Thanks. I did find one old thread that suggests MBC72302C (red) and MBC92134A (white). Second opinions? Anyone?

Second opinion here. Go to the paint store and look at their color chart.  Pick out your favorite red and their  brightest white.
