It's much cheaper than PPG, and i was looking for people's opinions. Thanks | | | | | Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 93 Wrench Fetcher | | Wrench Fetcher Joined: Jan 2007 Posts: 93 | watsjoe:
I have been using their single stage urethane for two solid colors (white and blue) to do a two tone on my 1966 Gmc. I am very pleased with their paint. Please keep in mind I am a noobie on body and paint, however.
Being a noobie, I was very hesitant to spend the big dollars that it would take to use PPG or another name brand. So far, no regrets on the TCP.
Regards,
Steve

I thought it laid down better than dupont centari (the only other auto paint I have ever used) and I have read that it is simply relabelled PPG Omni (I have no way to confirm that - I've just seen it posted in other forums).
One note of caution - I was very disappointed with their "factory match" color for a vw i was spraying. I would not recommend buying this paint for a factory correct style project where you want the color to be very accurate.
urethane paints are more like plastic than acrylic enamal. They are marketed as being more durable (UV resistance, chemical resistance and abrasion resistance). I think it's true, but only because I tend to believe manufacturer's claims and they all claim this. | | |
