Our shop is Currently using sikkens autobase plus paint and we were just informed that we will be switching to PPG Deltron paint. So my question to you guys is what do you think of PPG Deltron paint??
It is a pretty decent base coat,easy to spray, user friendly etc.Color match can will leave something to be desired compared to what you are using now unfortunately.As long as you have decent tinting skills you will be able to make it work just fine 😉
i just made a stupid response so better ignore me
Its not a bad product but nothing like autobase plus color match is not as good as autobase i think you can save money with staying with sikkens u get better coverage and color match with sikkens
I spray 3 to 4 jobs a day with deltron. There are things I really dislike but aslo has some upsides too. I really dont care for the sealers. (Not tintable) and for each color ppg has a value shade of sealer to use under it. White to a dark grey scale ranges 1 to 7. I have came across severL colors that if u use the recomended shade say on a bumber…. ur fucked. With the reds that recommend g7, the darkest sealer, it will come out way to dark. So I recommend going a bit lighter on the shades then recommended. Their blender works aweaome. For oreintation coats etc. The clears I have used are 2021 dc3000 and dc 4000. 2021 and dc4000 imo are a lot alike. 2021 is really thin and is very easy to run. And takes a while to set up. Even with bake. Dc3000 is great for bumpers and it sets up quick. Bu t my fav clear of ppgs is actually in their global line 893. Which I now use for just about everything. Im assuming ur gonna use ppgs clear as well bc thats the only way they will waranty anything. Hope this helps.
Deltron works great ,I have used it now for 15 years ,all paint systems have their ups and downs,for the most part it is user friendly
And color matches are very good..Thanks guys for the info and the heads up on the good and the bad..All is good to know.
I’ve been painting with Deltron GRS base for the past 8 years. The only PPG clears I use now are the D8113 Matt Clear (and the Ceramiclear when a customer requests it, and is prepared to pay for it). I use Mipa CC6 clear now and love it. Works really well with Deltron GRS.
