I had 2 quarts mixed up per the Formula. One is in Omni SS, and the other in DBC 2000. The Omni is looking like it has a very slight orange color hue to it. The DBC is more bright. I did not plan on using the OMNI, but now I'm scratching my head and wondering is the OMNI more correct than the DBC mix. Has anyone else run across this and have any of you experts modified the DBC formula to get it perfect? W 103.2 YLF 404 WB 81.8 YLF 4.0 Mag 1.7 CLR 485.
Your stuck between a rock and a hard place! We are not there to decipher! If you are painting the whole car it really doesn't matter! unless you open the doors and look at the jambs! If you took that car to a reputable shop the color would differ also! It's not the paint! GM paint jobs SUCKED! when they were in that era! I should know. I tried to match them reds not easy! the UV brakes down the integraty of the paint the top of the car would turn oranger! as you look down the side to the door handle car would stay redder!
Some of those cars are Bluer hue and some are oranger hue! all in how it's exposed to the sun light! If you were a nut case and kept car in garage with 6 coats of wax on car. or left out in the sunlight in hot parking lot every day! catch my drift
We tried several brands. The only paint brand I think who got it right was PPG(Deltron 2000). I would not use any other. I verified against original paint cars for what that is worth. Its your car.
I use to use Omni on cars that came into our shop that were totally hammered! or older models that were lesser value than the newer well kept cars by our customers! I believe that the omni clear is the 20 yr. technology (DELCLEAR) the yellow labeled clear. Had clear peel off couple cars when the weather got hot! and I use slow hardener year around. that was enough for me. never used it again!
The DBC looks great - might of been a bad mix for the tester pint - but the gallon and quarts seem dead on!
