I went to our local paint supplier again and they finally found a code for F4 to re-paint my 70 Runner. ITs Dupont Chroma Base and only $407.00 dollars a gallon!! HOLY CRAP!

So I check with a PPG supplier out in New York and they say they can mix it in a PPG Deltron Urathane for 176.86 a gallon! BIG DIFFRENCE!

Has anyone used PPG and is the deltron series a comparable product to Chroma Base?

Be careful, 176.86 sounds awful cheap. I just priced a gallon of R4 Deltron basecoat and was told about the same price, but when I asked he said that was Omni basecoat.(Omni is PPG's cheap line) When I told him to give me a price for PPG Deltron, it was $470 a gallon.

$400-500 a gallon is about normal anymore for a high end Urethane.

I had a local paint store jockey try to talk me into the Omni line a few years ago, "everybody uses it" "it's the same stuff" I responded with I'm not everybody and I want the paint to last

And to answer the original question I put Deltron on my Charger 20 years ago, No problems yet

So, when the guy told me it was PPG DELTRON it "could be" Omni brand? Is there such a thing as Omni Deltron?

I've heard of Omni, is it comparable to Nason in Dupont.....Kind of a thin watery paint.

He's being dishonest if he's mixing the terminology. Deltron is Deltron and Omni is Omni, the only common part is PPG makes both of them. It would be like saying "I used to own a Hemi 318"... Chrysler terminology, but different engines.

I could picture somebody trying to pull that, and the low price sounds like lower-end paint.

Just to mention it, I sprayed Nason urethane a few years back and although I was rather concerned with how watery it looked, it turned out quite well, and held its shine for all the time I owned it. Of course, this was a simple, white single-stage paint job.

Ok again here is my PPG name covers ppg deltron dbc ,envirobase ehp,deltron dbu ,omni and omni plus. The omni base coat is cheaper because its thinner and will require more coats witch = more time and labor cost depending on the color. omni mtk is the single stage witch is ok for the money . plus is the best bang for the buck for base coat and spend the x tra on the clear its what protects the color . as far as "dupont" goes they were sold and now called XALTA..... they are dumping people and raising prices to pay investors back your choice
