OK my car got keyed really bad and is getting a full repaint... so its gonna also be changed from black to either like a mediumdark blue with white pearl oorrrrr champion ship white with deep blue pearl...

but what i was wondering is what brands of paint are ok and what arnt... a friend of mine will do it for $1500 including pullin my dent and doing the jams and enginebay... Du Pont paint any good... cause that is what he would use...

thanks for the info
chris

Du Pont is a really good brand, also House of Kolor is another good one. :)

we use PPG paint and had really good luck with it, something that i cant say about DuPont.

Damn, from black to white. That's a helluva change.

yeah the car is gonna be fully sanded down... the key marks went all the way to the mettal so it kinda has to be done

my shop uses only DuPont, and we have some spectacular stuff coming out of there. DuPont has done a great job of making original colors in base/clear. We have people sending their cars to new england from california to be painted, and that just goes to show what little problems we have had with the materials. PPG and House of color are good too, but are not as easy to use as dupont.

What shop is this? Where are you located? Whats your number? :)

i need my car painted as well, where in CT are you? and whats the ballpark for my crx to change from white, to a royal to deep blue kinda color?

Allright, first off, yes, House of Kolor is a badass paint, except for the fact that it isnt cheap, my buddy just got a sponsorship from those guys, and oh crap, let me tell you how nice that paint can come out. For the past couple months ive been using Dupont's Chromabase. Its actually a pretty easy paint to use. I had worked around some of dupont's and sherwin William's single stage paint, that crap sucks. forget single stage period unless you can find the right person to paint it, and it sucks to cut and buff, especially with a metalic or a pearl in it... just some info for ya
