G'day!
I'm just wondering if there is anyone out there who has used Protec acrylic auto paint(s) to spray their car with. My local paint shop stocks this brand and I'd like to hear from anyone who has used this brand before. Cheers....

Hi 36hp...

I've used Protec 2Pak and its good value for $. The clear is'nt as pure though in comparison to the better brands out there(Spies Hecker, Glasurit). And does'nt cover as well
It will be fine for base colors I feel but I would'nt use it in a pearl or metallic....
Pay a bit more and get a better result...but its the prep work(endless blocking!) before hand that the top color complements.

Thanks for your input 5PL1TDCS10N. I wont be using 2 pak as I dont have a proper booth to do it justice. So I still would like to hear from anyone who's used the acrylic Protec range and how it stood up over time, compared to other brands and of coarse $$$$.

Cheers

I've used it , and it's not too bad. I was actually suprised with how much shine I got after I polished it, I thought it would be crap because it's cheaper.

Usually the cheaper paints have less resistance to UV damage. This is what make paints fade, oxidise and go chalky. Especially red, yellow and white

Is there not some form of wax or hi tech goop that you can put on to solve the UV problem, like sunscreen?

Yup...sure is. Its called "taking care of the paint with regular waxing"

W good at that !
