Hi All,

I have a pint of paint that I believe I got from Jim Carter a while back. It appears to be dupont acrylic enamel. It is difficult to read the label as it was wrapped in shipping tape and it was torn up.

Can anyone tell me what type of dupont paint it is and how to mix it? I do not think it is the Nason type?

Thanks,
skipper

I have used their steering wheel paint from a couple of years ago and it was already thinned. The best bet is to check with them.

The paint comes already thinned? Do you spray it from an airbrush? Has anyone rigged up a way to spin the wheel while spraying? What about clear coating afterward?

Not Jim Carter paint, won't use any from there because of the
lack of information and poor color match. I'll stick with PPG or
the latest...BASF formula supplied by a fellow bolter last year.
Easy spin wheel painter, doesn't give the paint a chance to run:
