Subject: Paint choices?
Friends -
I'm going to try my hand at shooting a color coat on my '72 MkIV, which
is color 17, Damson. Thanks to Joe Curry, I have the PPG mix number of
50816. The paint on the car is mostly the original, believe it or not.
But my question is - what should I be buying? Enamel? Acrylic Enamel?
Something else? I'm not looking for anything fancy, just a durable coat
to keep the rust away. And for the first time in many years, the entire
car will be the same shade. Plus it will have the original paint
underneath, and I know that's a consideration sometimes as some paints
will peel if sprayed over something incompatible.
Thanks in advance.
