i was wondering how the martin senour paint compared to the PPG paint i have been using?
any experience? mostly i im painting restored or custom cars that expect a good quality paint job.
I used their paint back in the early 90's and it has held up good . i was just wondering if it is still the same .
I can get it delivered here from napa so i thought of switching to it instead of the PPG i had been using.

I have been painting for 20 years and I always use PPG, never once had a problem. I won't use anything else

Martin Senour is made by Sherwin Williams.

I have been using it for the last 6-7 years on semis and dump trucks. It covers quite well in many colors but in harsh conditions there isn't a ton of life to it. If waxed and washed, like a car typically is it holds up very well for the price. Just my

It doesn't last very long. Buy Dupont or PPG instead.

the guy that painted my car told me that he did a car for someone that had bought the paint (napa) already. he tried to talk the guy into buying ppg but the guy said "i already have this paint", so he went ahead and used it. he had more time involved(= money) getting it to buff out to his normal level then if the guy had bought the ppg paint. now he uses ppg or he asks you to find someone else to do you paint job for you

My old panther pink Road Runner was painted with MS single stage EuroGlow 20 years ago. The paint was not "cut and buffed". I see it at the Mopar Nationals every year and it still looks great.

Interestingly, the new owner is a painter who uses PPG. He recently asked me what paint I used because it held up so well.
