Paint & Color

What are your paints made of?

Updated 2 weeks ago

Our paints vary by the format of the product that you purchase, and in some cases, by the color you choose. Below is a summary of our paints by format.

 

1. Bottle Kits

  • Our primer, base color and mid coat (for tri coat)  and clear coat bottle paints are a waterborne paint formulated for automotive refinish.

  • The base color paint is the same waterborne formulation used by many original equipment automotive manufacturers. This is a low VOC paint. Note: the application of clear coat is required to seal and protect the paint as well as to fully enable the color match.

 

2. Aerosol Kits

  • Our primer and clear coat are single component (1K) solventborne paint.

  • Our base color depends on the color you bought. You may have been sent a solventborne paint or a waterborne paint. Check the Paint can (the color coat):

An “S” code on the can indicates Solventborne paint

  • If there is an “S” code on the back panel, you have a solventborne paint.

  • If your can has any other code, such as P, I or U, then you have waterborne paint.

3. Pro Size Kits (half-pint, pint or quart sizes)

  • Our primer and clear coat are two component (2K) urethane (solventborne) paint.

  • The base color paint is the same waterborne formulation used by many original equipment automotive manufacturers. This is a low VOC paint. Note: the application of clear coat is required to seal and protect the paint as well as to fully enable the color match.
