PPG!!!
ppg dbc system i think is the easiest to use, it uses one reducer for base for clear, for sealer using dx 57 which is the base coat activator so ppg says makes it chip resistant helps with film build to apply graphics helps with mettalic to lay out much flatter then dbc does already

more money?? yes but well worth the cost
ppg`s clear will go right over HOK base coat i personally don`t like HOK, i would rather much use ppg`s produtcs




can i haz bondo

X-otic.... X-otic is AWESOME stuff... or DuPont (Sorry big daddy lol... that's about the only thing we disagree on anymore lol)

IMHO.... X-otic > HOK

i use nothing but HOK - i will try Xotic later, went to a car show this past weekend, you can spot a custom paint a mile away from the regular brands. you want in the regular crowd, stick with the ordinary. you want the stuff with the big boys, buy it, spray it, and lick it..lolol yeh i wouldn't settle for anything but hok or xotic but thats me.

I am getting this done right... I know I will never get my money out of it again so I am not selling it. but that probebly fits the majority of us on this site. thanks for your inputs.
