I never had a problem with this color. But to add to the whole 2 coat & 3ct thing, I have done the ford e9 in the 2ct & I can get by, but if do the 3ct it does have more depth. Now ppg does offer the e9 & pel in 2ct formulas in the dbc but not 301n, how ever in enviro e9 or pel is only a 2ct & not offered in 3ct. I just did a caravam last week. New hood butt matched to the factory. Ender. Perfect. Which is nice cause u don’t have to do a mid coat. I was told also that the cheater formulas were for doing spot jobs. But, that’s what I was told.

So I take it that you are using mainly PPG? I am spraying mainly Sikkens solvent and then sometimes throwing in Debeer when I cant get a color to line up right. Still kinda learning what colors line up well and which ones dont.
[quote=”smooth” post=23626]Ok. example,Ford Motor company codes, G2 two stage and U6 tri-coat. Put the two together and tell me the difference in appearance. Tri coats are a breeze yes, but for the little WOW you get its no better than a 2 stage.[/quote]
Next time you’re in socal, hit me up and I’ll show you the difference.
The U6 has a depth and clarity that cannot be matched in two stage.
I also ran into WA 301N recently…..it appears that it is in fact a tri stage, however instead of using a mid coat, GM tinted their clear. I used Onyx HD with no trouble…I should add that I hate the paint that I am forced to use!
