My painter is having dificulti locating a source for Centari paint (he's near Yakima WA).
Anyone?
O/T why centari? We called that stuff pigshit twenty years ago because of its smell. Any urethane based paint is better than that stuff by 100 miles.

Your experience differs from mine. I painted my 71 RT in GY9 Centari with Centari 780 clear in 1987 and the paint looks better than any urethane job I've seen. Laid down like glass, grabbed solid, and still looks fresh after 25 years. -dulcich

Nason FUL-CRYL II acrylic enamel is what he's speaking of.
FUL-CRYL II in the Raleigh, NC area has the same VOC's as Centari, which is 5.0
But soon, Centari will be gone, and FUL-CRYL II's VOC's are going to drop to around 3.5
The WA area might already be stocking 3.5?
Centari is highly pigmented, and its activator 793S has more isocyantes to trigger it.
Nason, not so much. A little thinner and uses 483-11 activator. And soon to be much more a "high-solids" once the VOC's drop.
Ultimately, and from what I've heard, FUL-CRYL II will be phased out too, and everything condensed into the Imron fleet-paint line. Which is a good paint all in its own, IMO.
I'm not a fan of a high-gloss clears on classic cars anyway.
