After countless hours of bodywork and sanding, it's finally in its new color. It turned out super well considering it was done in my dirty shop in a makeshift temporary spray booth.

Createx is right near me and I know the owner went to high school w him. Good guy. They still don’t have an isocyanate free clear that’s good though do they? Isocyanates are very dangerous. Their base coat is isocyanate free according to them .
BTW the car looks great . Hard to see metal flake in the garage needs sun. My airplane is metal flake vinyl wrap like that. This stuff https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=rrn6PWyh5Kw Probably just like your car. Your car looks fabulous you did an amazing job. Matches my airplane perfectly !

What did you use for a clear? Or did you mix the color into clear?

Nice. I like seeing cars guys paint themselves. With that, we can live with imperfections if they show up.

This is my 3rd full paint using their products and I just adore it. The roof is amazing in the sun, however my camera just can't seem to catch it. Your plane is gorgeous! Great minds eh?

It can be top coated with any clear. I used a generic 4k clear from my local auto paint supplier.

Realize this is an old thread but there's been a lot of new advancements in clear over your side of the world
Also ISO free epoxy primer surfacers They did t get rid of isocyanates for no reason anyone who has been sensitized can tell you . https://www.limelinepaintsupply.com/...tal-light-grey ISO free 707 clear https://conceptpaints.com.au/sites/d...%20Clear_1.pdf In Australia Sherwin Williams - Ultra-FIll® DTM Isocyanate (ISO)-Free Primer/Surfacer Premium Ultra-Fill HS is a Direct-to-Metal (DTM) ISO-Free Primer Surfacers NP75/NP74W are free of lead and chromate hazards. Direct-to-Metal (DTM) ISO-Free Primer Surfacers free of lead and chromate hazards. As high build surfacers, with excellent gloss holdout and sanding characteristics, NP75 / NP74W / NP76 can be used in Collision and Fleet markets. NP75 / NP74W / NP76 provide excellent bare metal adhesion and corrosion protection without the need of an etch primer and meet National Rule VOC regulations of 4.6 Ibs/gal. Why do we need Isocyanate free coatings? Research into a polyurethane network without exposing the applicator to isocyanates has also been recently developed. Cyclic carbamates have been found to convert to aliphatic polyurethane systems through reacting them with polyamines, thereby eliminating the potential of isocyanate exposure to the applicator. One of the drawbacks to this type of approach is the complete overhaul of chemistry and starting materials, which does not result in a network with original chemical characteristics and properties of a standard polyurethane system.
