Title: PPG paint dealers.
Post by: shane436 on March 30, 2009, 09:40:17 PM

anyone know if anyone besides Lordco sells PPG paint products??.  Im looking for their "Delstar / Delthane Poylurethane Acrylic enamel"  single stage product.  the dude at Lordco was saying that he cant mix me L-360 sea blue #2 in the delstar so he sold me the lower quality Omni....  since I know next to squat about paint I would like to get a second opinion and see if I can find the real PPG stuff.

thanks
Shane.

Phone first dude, that paint was pulled one year ago by PPG North America, Omni is a cheaper line of PPG it sprays thin, So it takes twice as much.

Single stage is great paint, It will be avail until 2010 and then we are WATERBORN baby!! Except for Omni it will stay around, Something to due to a industrial clause.


Drop me a line if you want it in single stage.
