All,
Getting ready to send my Bee off for paint. The shop I am looking at uses a paint that I have never heard of. It is call Pro Spray. Has anyone ever heard or have any experience with this?

Thanks,
Nuke

Never heard of it. And I have worked with alot of paints. Maybe it is a cheap cousin to dupont,ppg,or some other larger company.

Hey AZBLACKHEMI...the site you refer to does NOT tell me everything I want to know as I have read this info already. What I want to know if anyone other than BALLZYY233 has ever used this product? I like KEITHAIRGRABBBER have never heard of it either so....have you used this product before?

If the shop uses it, ask for a couple prior customer references.

For my car, that is currently at a Shop ready to paint, we were trying to get the most accurate color match.
More common brands were tried and we were having difficulty getting something I liked.
The shop owner contacted another well known restoration shop and they recommended looking at Pro-Spray.
My shop owner tried but ran into dead ends.
The company is UK based and has an office in the US that no one ever answered the phone.

So, the indication was not good. We moved on.

Maybe they provide a great product, but it seems support in the US may be difficult to impossible.

Close - looks like they were bought by a division of Alco back in 2003, so they have some serious money behind them FWIW

I have switched over from PPG to Pro-Spray and never looked back. In fact, I'm using it on the convertible in the shop at the moment.

Prospray is a nice system. I used it for about a year before switching back to Sikkens. Didn't switch back because of anything wrong, just my local jobber switched to all Akzo labeled products.

They have quite a collection of the old car colors and they match up pretty well.

Here are a few..

Was that single stage or BC/CC? I like the sheen, looks more like the original OEM finish.

I've heard of it, never used it. Most paints/clears look good when fresh. I can make fresh spray paint look smooth and shiney. Over the years we've tried tons of products... the real question is how will it look in 5 years or more.

I've personally seen several jobs with Pro-spray that have been done for 5+ years and they all look great. I wouldn't use it and charge my customers several thousands if I didn't know what the long term results are.

The product isn't the only thing that ensures a lasting paint job. Techniques after paint mean nothing if everything isn't done right before and the products aren't used correctly.
