what brand of paint fbbo guys are buying to paint cars or have shops paint with? thanks
Most paints are produced by just a handful of chemical houses in the states, kinda like motor oil they just change the recipe for the customer, slap said customers label on it and off it goes.what brand of paint fbbo guys are buying to paint cars or have shops paint with? thanks
like?I shoot many brands depending on budget of customer or project. PPG, HOK, Custom Shop.
IMO, the variance is the pigments in the basecoat. Depends on if you are looking to match or want as close as possible to the original color. But if the customer or project has tolerance on the exact color I have recommended different combos.

Usually Axalta or PPG for me. Easier to stay with one or two systems and have all the mixing components(activators, reducers, etc...). Start using too many different combos and it gets expensive quick.
First, thank you for your response and as a matter of fact yes, I do have a lot of questions, this is some one else tread let send you a PMWell like I said, I have shot PPG, House of Kolor and Custom shop. It really depends on the car, the project, and customer budget. For example I shot a Grand National last year (they are all black) so there was little need to spend high dollar for basecoat. Instead we used PPG clear which is expensive. I typically keep clears to a few that I have tried and have details on dialing in my clear gun. Which brings me to the last point of equipment when spraying, conditions, etc.
Do you have a specific question or situation?
what about nason or restoration shop paints?I use pof water at work. At home usually either DBC or Omni plus. The Omni plus is a great option if you’re painting the entire car and want to keep the cost in check
