Sirs M54/Kimpoy/theveed,

thanks for the info, really really helpfull

PS OT- Sir Kimpoy,

Saan po ang shop mo sa Pampanga, name and address po pwede? We go to Pampanga dahil taga doon si Esmi, normally po San Simon/San Fernando and sometimes Angeles.

thanks po ulit.

theveed - i'm not sure either, since my experience is primarily with refinishing, not oem...and quite honestly, it was more than 7 years ago when i changed careers. however, if memory serves me correctly, i know ford for sure used a one-stage urethane for a while with their solid reds - so i'm sure you are right (although i don't know if it's all oem reds). however, i used exclusively urethane paint for all my refinishing jobs, including reds.

kimpoy - yes, you are correct. but there's one detail that always causes confusion - dupont lucite is an acrylic lacquer, which is designed to be used as a 2 stage with clearcoat (i forgot about acrylic lacquers because they have been banned for a while here in the states because of environmental concerns)...when i said 'acrylic' in my previous post, i was referring to acrylic enamels, which are single stage and not as good as the 2-stagers. acrylic enamel is typically what your low-cost painters use

dupont centari is, as you say, a 2-stage urethane paint. thank you for the clarification.
