Acrylic lacquer, two pack solid (2K), or Clear over Base (COB) two pack?
I know the PPG Deltron 2K is a good colour match. I have had it made in Dulux Cobra, and DeBeer and the colour was not as good a match.
Most paint suppliers can make the colour for you colour code is 5084 or 05084.
Are you preferring a 2K, COB, MS clear, HS clear, and/or Aquabase colour? |

I had a paint shop who buys from HOUSE OF COLOUR, mix fowlers ivory in acrylic, and it turned out PERFECT. Hope this helps. |

If you are painting it and have had little experience painting cars, then you will not be able to paint it in two pack.
Put a few hundred hours into the job, and you could do it in acrylic laquer and it will look pretty good.
If you are getting a panel shop to do it, then you will have little choice but two pack. Their entire paint system and painters are setup for two pack, as that is all car manufactures have been using for the lat 15 years, and most have been using it for 20 years or more. People want factory paint finish and most repairs are cars under 15 years old. |
