Thumbs up

Hi I know the subject was probably talked about in the past (i can remember a topic on that...), I searched but couldn't find anything

So... I want to have a new paint on my car this summer, a few bodyshops uses Dupont Paint, others uses other paints... What would be the best paint brand and the worse ?

Thanks

I would reccomend Dupont - I've repainted 2 biimers, both with Dupont and haven't had a problem yet. Additionally, Dupont paint often comes with a good warranty/guarantee.

PPG brand paints are great as well.

My dad works for PPG. He develops all kind of stuff, mostly for delivery trucks such as UPS trucks. He works right next to the guys who work with Automobile paint.

PPG all the way. Hell even BMW has chooses PPG vs. Dupont!

oh and yes I do get free paint :P
