Was it because of spraying dry and not over reducing properly? I’ve talked to some people who were sayingthat the big name products were staying to be way over priced and not profitable even at $32/hr for materials. .
Well ive got to say guys.. The transtar rep brought some paint by today for me to try. Stuff is THICK!! I over reduced it 1:1.5 and it literally covered in ONE COAT. I’m starting to see some serious dollar bill savings. And the toners are cheaper than matrix as well. The paint being in suspension so it won’t settle in the gun is a plus too and I think it will help a lot with mottling too. The alternates may not be quite as good as matrix but Transtar is coming out with a new deck in December which will put them ahead I believe. I’ve got to admit I’m leaning towards Transtar.
oh yea price comparison ppg dbc vs transtar no mix:
unreduced quart wa9260 $246 vs $93. JL $212 vs $101. Not to mention the reduced amount of material used.For both parts?? The distributor emailed me a PDF of the pricelist for all toners and basically everything matrix sells. The toners seemed in line. Their production clear kit is $98 which seems in line too..
Whoa the AG40 kit is $315.40! I haven’t had any problems with the Shopline 620 YET! But ive been spraying the stuff for 10 years. Maybe they just assume its not supposed to last that long if a problem did arise and didn’t bring it back. I cant speak for other cheap clears though.
The shopline 620 is about $100 for the kit gallon and qt of hardner. Is the AG40 in the same price category?
Thanks guys. I have a Valspar rep im talking to too. I don’t believe theres a sikkens distributor. As far as the clear goes ill probably stick with PPG shopline 620. The stuff looks good to me and ive never had a problem with it. 614Paintwork do you have any experience with the color match capabilities of matrix or how it compares to PPG?
