Sherwin Williams paint opinions?

[dagen_1]

getting truck painted hopefully in the next two weeks... waiting for an opening.

Body Shop says if i want Dupont paint, it will cost much more... or i can go with Sherwin Williams and save a little.

thoughts?

i'm not familiar with either... in the past i've had PPG on my 73.

Napa's autobody paint is sherwin williams paint and a little cheaper.

i didn't know that.

I'm not looking for a 100-point show truck finish... but i want a great paint job worthy of local shows and perhaps a trip to carlisle...to hang out

it's paint lol and it works that's about all you can say.

IMO ANY paint is good it just might require sanding and buffing etc.

If you got the money to spend go for it, but IMO the serwin williams is good enough and it'll work and save you money.

If the painter is good, it will look good.

Marcos: he's painted two cars that i am familiar with and see on a daily basis. Both had major damage...but look straight as an arrow now.

the paint looks great on both... looks like original paint. (one is a Mercedes, the other a Lexus)

...just asking because i'm ignorant when it comes to paint and the differences between paint companies.

as long as it doesn't have any contaminants and hasn't been sitting on a shelf since '86 it mostly falls on the competence of the painter.

Paint is paint. It's all in the prep work.
