We've used PPG Deltron, PPG Shop Line, Matrix.
Current project is a 55 Chevy pu. It's getting the Shop Line product.
My 55 Chevy sedan is getting the Shop Line, too.
I'm seeing some negative comments on Matrix. One being the price. Since they were bought out, they've skyrocketed the costs. Not worth it, in my opinion.
House of Color has been bought out, too. Prices are outta sight.
A "for instance"...A looonng deal on PPG Shop Line $
1 gallon of blue metallic, 1 gallon of silver metallic, reducers, activators, 1 gallon of grey sealer = $1450
I'd guess Deltron would be at least another $500.
Black is probably a less expensive color.
The Shop Line mixes 4:1:1
A "high end" clear is a good investment!

BASF glasurit FTW...expensive but the best IMOP ...PPG 9700 is their pure black .... most all blacks have some color in them... I will have to look in my notes on best factory matching codes

ok most prefer wa8555 vs wa848 code... for reference ... their have been problems with the OEM code wa848 coming out brownish in certain light ... but I agree with chuck on the high quality clear ..

I used house of kolor triple deep black, and I believe chroma clear.. Mike
I've seen discussions on the "blackest black", that included the black used on the Merc Marine Black Max outboards....

Go Glasurit on the clear. It has by far the deepest hue and reflection. I've used many manufacturers paint.... PPG, DuPont, RM, BASF, House of Kolor. Base is more forgiving go with stock paint code for GN unless you are jambing out the entire car with hood, doors and trunk off. You don't need to buy high end base. I like a good ruducer so paint atomization is better when sprayed.

Here is what I mean on reflection. Both cars under same florescent light in same garage. Both wet sanded and polished in the exact same manner with polishing products.
