SPG Paint type opinions?? Posted by ThomasJ [Email] (#780) [Profile/Gallery] (more from ThomasJ) on Thu, 31 May 2012 17:04:28 Members do not see ads below this line. - Help Keep This Site Online - Signup |
PolyAcrylic (Polyeurethane??) vs Acrylic Enamel
Ok,
Into the final prep stages for repainting my 90 SPG. And I want single stage...NOT clearcoat..
It has been a long road and I still do not classify myself as a pro welder...but I do have a whole boatload of respect for those who can make those picture perfect welds...especially while under a wheelwell facing outward.....where do they put their head?
Anyway ...there is a major price difference between the Poly and Acrylic enamels..$300 for A-E and $700 for Poly...just for the supplies...My initial thought is that the stock paint is Acrylic enamel so I am having mixed feelings bumping the price, which after adding % and labor is a LOT more.
Is the difference really worth it....I do want to be stock..i.e. without the clearcoat-wet look. I find the factory style paint (when buffed out) quite satisfying.
Fresh perspectives will be appreciated...
