I just painted a supercab truck with the PPG "CONCEPT" brand Urethane paint and it worked great. THought i would give you some details. I am not a professional, i get a lot of info from several of the locals on this board. Spend most of my time on the ALLIS board. My local aoto body paint supplier said if i wanted a clear coat quality, without the clear coat problem, to try the Urethane COncept brand of PPG paint. For primer i used the DELTRON NCS 2004 with a NCX 2200 catalyst and DT870 reducer (thinner). YOu mix it 2 paint, 1 hardener, 1 reducer. I mixed a gallon "total" and that was enough to primer the supercab. THis is a primer sealer and can be painted over after an hour. I let it set 24 hours, then sanded lightly with 240 paper to get the fuzz and a few bugs off. I have onlly painted 4 or 5 trucks in the past 10 years. I paint outside the barn door, in the grass so i routinely get a few bugs and a couple runs. After cleaning this up, i wiped off and painted with the Concept. This is "CONCEPT DCC", i used DFX11 hardener (called supercharger) and reducer DT870 (thinner). You mix it 2 parts paint, 2 hardener, 1 thinner. I mixed 3 quarts of paint and made 7.5 quarts of paint and it put on 4 medium coats. I painted the walls of the bed inside, but not the floor.
---The great thing i noted is that ther was very little overspray. THe grass was still green after i moved the truck. FIrst time for that. I did not get overspray on my glasses or hair, as normal. I used much less paint than i thought i normally do (3 quarts??). I paint outside with a small breeze and wear a half mask. Cant stand long shirts or hats. Has anyone used this stuff with similar results, or was i just lucky? THe stuff flows out well, covers good, and shine is great. Dries to the touch in about 10 minutes. Supposed to get real hard in 8 hours. I am not a rep for PPG, just a user with very good results. Last thing i painted was 3 years ago, tractor, with PPG Delstar 60080. Looked good, but got it all over the ground, shirt and hair.
