Paint and body question
I just took my car to the local Benz dealership for repair of a ding...no porsche dealer here. Some say one should only use Glazzeret (sp?) paint on porsches. This shop uses Sherman and Williams. Did I do the wrong thing? Please advise.

Sherwin Williams
German clears work well but most important is the paint manufacturer's color if you dont have a painter that is very talented on color match the German lines are definately the best (most accurate). Sherwin williams is really a production style paint for your average collision shop and for most people (just about all people) you cannot tell the difference period, but if money isn't an object Glasurit or Spies Hecker. Spies would be my choice.

Good shops use a digital paint sampler (a camera really) that can be downloaded into a computer, matching the paint exactly. It takes all of the guess work out of the process.

Bingo. The digital gimmick is not as accurate as you might think. Experienced eyes are the key.

Picked up the car today. Looks great...despite the Sherwin Williams paint. Color match done perfectly. I also had the bumperetts painted. 18 inchSSR GT3's come Monday.

If you ever used one you would find that they are not that accurate and tinting again is needed which requires a good painter.

I heard that because of environmental concerns, the solvents
in the paints that Porsche uses don't permit the best, most
durable paint. Does anyone have some less-rumor-based
info on this?
thanks,
