just curious what you guys know about the system??
What you thinking about switching?!
its a PPG and Dupont knockoff
thinking about demoing some but was curious if anybody here has any experience with it??
I use Matrix, I get it from a body shop down the street, Its good stuff, pretty much a clone of ppg, all the stuff on the mixing bank even has more or less even the same part numbers as ppg (they just change one number or letter).
Color match is generally good, coverage is also good, better than dupont, but that’s not saying much. there clears are good also, and priced right.
I have heard a few complaints about there sealers.
thanks alex
the shop on my street got the whole system from Matrix for $500. And after I think two years the whole thing is theirs to keep. They just have to buy at least $250 a month (toners, clear, hardener, reducer, whatever)
I use the tonors on some colors as substitute for Dupont, but their clears to me are not user friendly in my experience.
The dry times are longer than I am used to ,most are 16+ hours at 77 degrees, Not really saving any $$$ when you have to leave the heat on all night.
Also, theirs is the only clear that I seem to get solvent pop with.
thanks for the replys guys how was the base???an the matches??
I don’t use their system as a whole, I’ve just recently started using a few toners here & there. I notice no difference than the mastertints.
MS-47 and MS-30 are very fast drying clears.
At 70 degrees MS-30 is buffable. Or so the tech sheet says, I have found that it takes a bit longer than that. Still they do have fast clears.
they make good products.. I have used allot of their stuff.. Never any base though :wak
