it is all gonna depend on the prep work and what type of spray equipment you use, as they are all very good paints. personaly du pont is pretty userfriendly.
Depends. All paints have so very slightly variances in color. But, it would be best to stick with the brand used on your car to start with. Unless you intend to strip it to the metal and start over. Then I would go w/ DuPont.
All three brands are excellent, quality at this level is hard to differentiate but each has it's own qwirks as to how it's thinned, applied, etc. Go with the brand your painter is used to spraying.

Wetsand or buff? Metallic Effect Dupont Nason Single Stage Acrylic Enamel Paint?

Hi. I've got this paint... and there is slight orange peel. Honestly, it doesn't even really bother me that much... but I know after painting you're supposed to wetsand 1000 1500 then 2000 then buff.

Well... I couldn't find 2000 but I have a nice variable speed buffer and nice industrial Meguiar's polish so I figured 1500 then buff would be okay.

Originally when I wetsanded I did an inconspicuous area because I heard that you couldn't wetsand metallics... (It isn't flakes in a clear... it's just effects in a single stage though). The paint turned out foggy and gross... but found out that if I buffed that it was glassy.

However, I also tried only buffing and the only buffed part wasn't as smooth... but the wetsanded then buffed part had dark little spots. I ignored them but now I've done more of the car and see them coming up more and more... any idea what's going on or what I should do?

As a general rule, enamel is not color sanded. Lacquer is, but that is not readily available anymore (nitrocellulose is a long gone history).

If you look close at most any new production car you will notice orange peel to some degree. If you aren't bothered by the peel on yours, leave it alone!

It sounds like you have what may be fairly deep peel. That is what the dark spots sound like. When sanding, you are knocking of the highs, and the lows fill with residue. Then when you buff, the low spots turn out as the spots.

As the other guy said, go with a coarser grit, work up (I never go finer than 1500, no need really) and use a pad for support, and lots of water.

Clear coat is much easier to color sand to get a mirror finish, but metallic can be worked as well. It is easy to burn through, so be careful.Wetsand or buff? Metallic Effect Dupont Nason Single Stage Acrylic Enamel Paint?
hi stu, my name is also stu. here's what you might wanna try. when i was in working in a body shop, we used to wet sand using 450 to 500 grit paper. you might try using 600 grit, and use your palm while sanding never your fingertips. take your time, this is gonna take you a while. when your finished with one spot, use a squeegee to take the wetness off, of course you do this in an area that not very noticeable, like the bottom of a fender or the lower part of the rear quarter Panel. using a ';polishing'; compound, apply a thin film then buff it off and it should come up nice and shiny.

Pepsi go Hendrick.
The Dupont flame design is my favorite. However, I wouldnt mind them bringing back the old rainbow design for a few races for old times sake.
None....he's so good i hate him.

He should get Vagisil to sponsor him...JK!!!!! he's a great driver just not my favorite.
While I'm not a Gordon fan, I always loved the Pepsi paint schemes for the Daytona 400 that he has on his car (and I don't drink soda either). They're always very colorful and always well done.
none of them they all suck cause Gordon Sucks!
The Dupont scheme with the Flames
Dupont and Pepsi!

I don't really care for the Nicorette car.
I think the pepsi paint sceme is awesome looking!!!!!!!!!!!! Go Hendrick!!!!!!!!!
I like the Pepsi scheme but the Nicorette scheme is really ugly.
Dupont
The Pepsi paint scheme is my favorite car that he drives, but I absolutely hate the Nicorette paint scheme. It just looks so ugly!
PEPSI car rules!

Dupont car is sweet too.

I liked the military tribute car too until it got destroyed...

The Nicorrette car is OK.
DuPont
I like the Pepsi car, the nicorette is way to green for me, alittle rough on the eyes.. I liked his Dupont car back in the day of the rainbow warriers, when he had long hair and a mustache.
What in the world? Do you really care? I have to say I love diet Pepsi so I will go with that. Who cares what Tina thinks.... Seriously.... It's kind of entertaining... Don't bite the bait!
Since I'm a Pepsi fan, I always love it when he's in a Pepsi car! But I'm not that big of a #24 fan... but he's not on my ';despise'; list like Jeff Green!
1. Pepsi

2. Dupont

Don't like the Nicorette car at all.
Dupont Hot Hues car from last year
I prefer the Pepsi paint scheme - that's my favorite soda. Don't care much for the Nicorette car - can't get used to seeing Gordon in a green car.
DuPont
pepsi
the Pepsi paint scheme is really cool!

Go RCR!!!

Go Jeff Burton!!!

Can u mix the normal paints for DuPont 1k with the new water base paints?

Im a smart repairest and the law changes in 2007 to change to water base paints! I just wanna know if i replace my low paints now with waterbase ones but still mix until they runout and all are waterbase?

CheersCan u mix the normal paints for DuPont 1k with the new water base paints?
If you are talking about mixing waterbase tinters with solvent base tinters then the answer is no.The effect would be like attempting to mix oil %26amp; water!

You can use water base product over a dry solvent base or vice versa,although obviously any water base product is going to require a solvent clearcoat to stop it washing away!

Hope this helps.Can u mix the normal paints for DuPont 1k with the new water base paints?
Well if your sooooo smart, why are you asking this question! If its single stage, you can mix it only with single stage, the same with basecoat,, you can mix it with basecoat, dont matter what name brand it it, dupont, ppg, valspar, house of kolors,,, its all the same.

Is dupont still going to give tickets to the race in daytona to the macco paint buyers?

I have a friend that is a major paint buyer here in Louisiana and Dupont already gave them his tickets so I guess the other people will get theirs also.Is dupont still going to give tickets to the race in daytona to the macco paint buyers?
Why would Dupont give free tickets to a race such as the Daytona to people who buy their competitions paint???

Macco is bottom end of automotive painting industry but they do use Dupont and Sherwin Williams paint sometimes.Is dupont still going to give tickets to the race in daytona to the macco paint buyers?
You bet!
