Hey Guys,

What are some of the higher end paint brands these days for a base/clear paint job? Is PPG still a top of the line paint?

Thanks!





I believe Sikkens is one of the top brands, above PPG and Dupont. web page




My friend is the Sikkens rep for this area and painted my car. We mistakenly painted the inspection covers in the engine bay gloss black. He told me to take them home and cabinet blast them and bring them back to be painted semi gloss. My cabinet blaster would not touch that paint! That and the number of "best paint" awards and "best of show" awards that the car has racked up due to the paint, makes me a Sikkens man all the way




I represented them for 3 years, I was told Sikkens is used on like Mercedes, BMW and other hi end European cars, Lesonal is for like chevys, fords and mopars and U tech is for like farm implements.
This car is painted with Sikkens and is the nicest paint I have ever seen. It was not buffed or sanded. The panels were carried out of the paint booth and out to my trailer and put on the car at Axzo Nobel.
The guy in the black shirt is Tom Conway, he helped me tune my car. I have 6 guys on my team not counting Tom. Mike my crew chief is getting ready to turn on the racepak as soon as I put it into the first set of light beams.(pre stage)
