Eric, opinions are like assholes, everyone has one....
I think personal preference plays a big part of what paint people use...
Glasurit is a fine paint and I don't think you will run into any problems using it.
As far as PPG being crap, I will have to disagree. Any brand paint can be prone to cracking if your base to hardener mix ratio is off for the temperature your working in...
Eric as of late I have been using PPG paint.
I have been using PPG Concept DCC Acrylic Urethane, PPG DCX 61 High Solids Hardener, and PPG DT870 Reducer.
I think it might be best though to talk to who will be painting your car and see what paint system they feel comfortable using. |

All good painters I know have a preference for one brand of paint. Find out what your painter likes and is used to shooting. Myself I do like PPG, as for the PPG code the paint suppiler can convert the Glasurit code to a PPG code. |

I'll take your word for it John D, but does anyone have a differing opinion, I really would like to hear some more.
If the PPG paints are crap, then why did Ferrari switch and use them now, or does this have something to do with PPG buying Glasurit?
As far as clearcoats--I was under the impression that they only clearcoated the metallics, additionaly I once read on this board that the clearcoated finishes had a " /C " at the end of the paint code--our paint code did not have this. I guess I'll have to do a little polishing and see if I get some red off.
John B, I couldn't agree with you more. We have known the body shop people for quite some time, not great friends, but I know their work and trust they'll do a great job. I've seen them do many cars including a Boxster, 600 SEL, and recently I saw they were also working on a 50s 300SL and they looked fantastic. |

The most important item is not paint, but painter. |

Glasurit!!! The best Ferrari Painter in the SouthEast says PPG is crap. Glasurit is much more flexable and less prone to cracking. Best if you don't clearcoat, though the 355 was originally. |

Thanks for the input so far guys.
I wasn't thinking in terms of paint matching however, for I believe we're going to re-paint the entire car. I believe in this case we wouldn't need to match old paint and we could just work with the paint codes, right? The only areas that perhaps wouldn't need paint is from the doors back including the roofline, but even then there is a new right rear quarter panel and some minor damage here and there. So I figure they're planning on re-doing the entire car...the only area that honestly doesn't need work is the engine decklid.
I would still be interested in hearing if there are any differences with the different paints and finding out the PPG Rosso Corsa paint code.
Thanks |

Whether you decide on Glasurit, PPG, DuPont, it makes no difference. David is right, 7 year old paint is going to fade. It's important to match the color of the car today, not necessarly work from the original paint code. The other key element is to get a great painter who can blend the new paint with the old paint. If he's good and the paint is matched properly, you'll never know it was repainted. |

Eric, the way to avoid color shifts on a paint match, is rather than just selecting a paint code, pick an area of your 355 where the paint is looking good and have them do a multi angle digital reading.
That way they can computer match the existing red color on the car now, not what is was 7 years ago...
Good luck with your choice. |

Didn't I read that PPG had bought Glasurit?
If so, then the question becomes which PPG paint type is the Glasurit formula? |

The car is a '95 F355 GTS being repaired from accident damage. Some of you might remember me mentioning about this horribly difficult and costly task we have undertaken in a couple previous posts, but it will soon be time to paint and we have encountered somewhat of a little dilemna (at least in my mind).
The car was factory painted Glasurit Rosso Corsa FER 300/12 according to the paint info plate. We plan on keeping it Rosso Corsa, but as most of you know, right around 1995 Ferrari started using PPG paint.
The question is do we use Glasurit which was the original paint used, or should we go with PPG? Some of our concerns have to do with slight color differences, quality of the paints, and value (though we don't plan on ever selling the car--at least for quite a while).
Are the two reds identical or do they have slight differences in color? Is the PPG paint of better quality (perhaps this is why Ferrari switched)? And, although I know that much value has been lost by it being a collision vehicle, not to mention that cars just having only a non-original paint job are looked down upon--but will it be a problem that the paint will not be Glasurit as the car originally came.
Also, if PPG is recommended over the Glasurit, what is the PPG code for Rosso Corsa?
Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric |
