The bottom line is that I want a show quality job!
Does anyone have any experiences with this paint or can you recommend a different one? | | | | | Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2005 Posts: 284 | it is a good brand of paint are you using base coat clear coat or something else | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | If it is Ditzler, maybe they are using PPG paints. PPG make many good lines of auto refinish paints. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 128 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 128 | Ditzler is the old ppg,ask them why they still call it ditzler,or maybe it is ditzler and they just want to get rid of it?  | | | | | Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Dec 2003 Posts: 2,733 | I have used a great deal of Ditzler and found it to be excellent. I preferred it to DuPont when I could get it. I lately (last 2 projects) have used NAPA (Sherwin Williams) CrossFire and liked it very much. It is a single stage paint as I'm not big on clear coat, too much shine for the old trucks. | | | | | Joined: May 2004 Posts: 204 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: May 2004 Posts: 204 | This shop mixes their own paint (ditzler).
I went to a car show this past weekend and in my opinion I found the best looking paint job there. I asked the owner where he had it painted. That is how I found this shop. I looked up Ditzler on the internet and came up with very little so I thought that I would check my support group here at Stovebolt.
I want to go with Base Coat Clear coat ... Sorry 53moneypit but I want my truck to shine.
It looks like I spelled Ditzler wrong on my search ... | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,270 | chev35, In the end, it is your choice. The single-stage, two-part PPG (Ditzler) DCC paint cures to a very hard finish that can be color sanded (polished) to a mirror finish. Check the reflection on the side of my Suburban.
