I'd like to know as well, or at least get a copy of the Omni mixture sheet for it.

IMO if they can mix it in Omni, then it can be mixed in Ditzler/DBU (PPGs next step up from Omni). 5 years ago I had B5 mixed in DBU. I dun'no, maybe new laws concerning VOCs have gone into effect.

I just checked the PPG color library and the formulas for DBU and DCC are not listed.PPG seems to be deleting all the old colors. I have checked my paint mixing station computer also. My paint rep said all the old color formulas should be listed in the color library on line but they aren't there. We have gotten color formulas by using a spray out panel with any available line(OMni,lacquer.acr enamel,ect)and had a Prophet color scan done to get paint in any system we need. I'll check again with the paint rep and see why the formulas are gone.

Martin-Senour (NAPA) can mix it in single stage only. Their number is 1767. The Crossfire S/S acrylic urethane is very user friendly, and is affordable as well.

Kool, thank you

I want to try QQ1 in Matrix, and they use the PPG mixes. Hopefully they can cross it with the Omni information.

After doing the Polara with Matrix last year (attached) I'm liking it. Price is right too. The car has sat outside this whole time and the paint is holding up really well overall (other than a few rock chips here and there).
