I got a small scrape on the side of my car, and its going to require a shot of paint on the back rear panel (drivers side) right on the indentation of the wheel fender.

The guy quoted me $195 which is not bad, but i was wondering he told me he would paint it with PPG basecoat paint (i believe he said basecoat not sure), is that the best paint or should I request something better? What kind of paint is on our cars factory?

 

The paint samples being used on the 2006 changes thread are Sherwin Williams but the 06 is using a different process.

 

basecoating refers to the acrylic polymer based color that is flashed on to the scratch area after prepping the area to be painted (dull finish).....then poly urethane plus hardener additive is sprayed on for the clearcoat shine ..to which is buffed out , unless they shoot the entire quarterpanel area,depending on the scratch. PPG , dupont are trademark names but the results are the same...

 

and the results are..... good right? i don't have to worry if he's using PPG?

 

PPG is very high quality paint kromix. No worries at all.
