Yes it looks OK after you spray it. Now come back in 5 years and let me know its doing. My 72 has just been torn apart so I can paint it again. The cost is not that far from a good paint since you have to spray twice as much.
9 coats of silver is a long time in the booth.

One other thing. Repair a scratch in it, Good luck. It is not worth it unless you plan on turning the car soon.

Just my two cents on Omni.

[jeffsgto]

Don't get me wrong, the GTO is painted in PPG DBU. I am not advising using the Omni on the outside of the car. For the FB, I will use DBC on the outside, but I feel the Omni fits the bill for use on jambs, undertrunk, etc. where it will not see the harsh UV conditions from sunlight or have the potentials for scratches and weather. I have never used the Omni on the outside of a car so I can't say how it will hold up under those conditions.

Sorry, I should have read a little deeper. The Omni in my trunk and jambs still looks fine. it is just the outside thats trashed.

I had shot nothing but B/C for 10 years and got this hair up my butt that I wanted a single stage for the 72. This is what my PPG dealer recomended.

The 86 GP is about to get shot with DBU/2021

The paint on my 69 bird right now is Omni.
There really isn't anything wrong with the paint, other then it's transparency issues.
As long as a person plans for this, and orders extra base to compensate.
Then shooting it is no big deal.

Wanna know of another really nice in-expensive product?

Limco Hi-solids 2k clear

Painted my buddy Mikes 67 Chevelle 3 years ago, used D.B.U. and Limco clear, because We forgot to bring the clear with us to my Dad's shop.

The only thing the local paint jobber had was the Limco.
$75.00 for a gallon of clear, catalyst, and reducer.

It was a pain to rub ( partly because I waited 6 months)

But the gloss and depth are amazing..

3 years so far, no yellowing or delaminating.
And very easy and forgiving to spray.

This from a hard core Spies Hecker guy

Did anyone have problems with Omni epxoy primer???

[paintdaddy]

I havent in fact I almost prefer it .the epoxy non sanding primer bites in to the metal very well and the urethane primer sands better than k36

[jbjx2]

That's great, I've already primed it and I sure as heck didn't want to remove it. Thanks for the info!
