I am considering having my car painted and I did a search on the topic. My car has 40,400 miles and has original lacquer paint that is getting thin. The car is always garaged and I drive it about 2,800 miles per year. The search came up with the following paint recommendations:
-Dupont chromabase 99K
-Dupont poly Mercedes black
-Dupont Super Jet Black basecoat G9900S
-acrylic enamel with urethane clear coat
-PPG DBU 900 basecoat
-urethane single stage
The guy doing the job recommended urethane single stage or base coat/clear coat. He will take the hood, trunk, and roof to bare metal and just clean/sand/prep the sides. Trim, locks, handles, bumpers, etc. will be removed.
Any suggestions (based on actual experience) as to what paint to use? Also, how difficult is it to remove the side opera windows/trim? Will new paint stick to the prepped original lacquer?
Thanks.
