Hi everyone,

for my upcoming self employment, I have to decide on one brand? PPG? Glasurit? Standox or something else?
I would appreciate if everyone could post some experiences or preferences and for what reasons?
That would be a big help!

Thanks! Kai from Germany

Hello Kai,

I guess we need to know what you plan on doing. Are you restoring cars and building customs? Or are you doing basic paint work or repairs?

A little more info about what your plans are could help people make suggestions on what to use.

Thanks, and Welcome!

- Kevin

You´re right - sorry! Here some more specific information:

I´m opening a body paint shop and will mainly do basic paint work and repairs.
At the same time I will specialize my buisness to classic car restauration over the time, trying to get them back in original condition as much as possible.

For both work fields I´m looking for a system that suits both in matter of: handling / variety of products / service / price etc.

Hope you can get a better insight now and I can get some help!
Thanks!

Hello there mate,from my personal opinion all 3 brands are complete with everything you will need in a paint system.PPG's basecoat system was very sensitive to apply.
Australia can get quite hot so we had to use medium to slow reducers to lay the metallics down nice and smooth.If you made an error in the basecoat stages,we experienced
mottling and banding due to its sensitivity.Glasurit was in our shop on trial for about a year,and to me really wasnt suited to the smash industry.Plus it is quite pricey too! We
used to turn around 40 cars a week,so we couldnt afford any errors really...in the business of smash repairs you want productivity above all without sacrificing looks and quality.
Glasurit would be best suited in the high-end restoration shops I think.Standox was a good consistent performer,but price is what determines what your decision will be.

Hope this helps,they are my own opinions only...Nick
