about the pearl white oem colour

[terrybullwon]

There is only 1 base coat as well. I know because I have had my pearl done and as far as I am aware there is only 1 company where you will get 2 pac paint and 2 pac lacquer from in the U.K but there is a catch to it You have to be registered as a classic car restorer to be able to get it ]

Who told you that crap?

I brought some just fine....

there is only one shade, it is a three stage system with a solid base then the pearl then lacquer. And for info to whoever said lacquer is water based... It is still solvent based to seal the water based undercoats in, otherwise your paint would wash off!

4.5 k for a respray is a joke! 1500 is ok. If you guys are paying that then get your cars up to Aberdeen for a solvent based respray!

I've had 3 quotes for a pearlescent windows out respray and all ranged from £3-4.5k.

Care to share the info on a £1500 pearl respray, i.e. who does it, how much time it will take and if the work is guaranteed?

Cheers

There is no way any one can do a proper and I mean proper full glass out respray on a pearl for £1500. The paint is not and never has been water based not even the base coat, it is all 2 pac. Mine has had a prang on the pass rear 1/4 panel and just the repair of that is almost £4000 and that requires a full side of paint blown in
