Tintable, weather resistant, sands easily, compatible with lots of topcoats; sounds like good stuff. Who's used it? Good, bad, ugly? PPG NCP-272 Thanks, Ed
I'm interested, too. I've been using PPG's K93. It sands nice, but I hate the way it goes on...almost transparent... and harder than anything I've ever seen to keep it from running/sagging.
Last week I took a PPG cl*** and we talked about this the rep said that it is translucent and doesn't cover well if I remember right. I'm not real sold on PPG but then again I was raised on BASF.
272 is the sister primer to 275, and 275 is some bad *** primer while i worked at the bodyshop, my boss had decided he was going to repaint his bumper. and being the amazing bodyman that he was, he stripped the bumper with 80 grit on a da and ALOT of pressure an entire caravan bumper ... end to end .... covered in those plastic fuzzies that are created when you overdo it an hour of soft sanding with a DA hardly got any of it smoothed .... so i decided to prime those *******s right into the surface 2 heavy coats of 275 sand 2 more coats sand repeat tillike 4 more times .... like 11 coats of primer .... all neatly sanded down after drying tho he dropped the bumper as he walked it into the booth, had to resand a spot in the middle, primer never cracked anyplace despite having a bit to much primer, it never chipped in the 3 years i saw him drive the vehical to work, and no cracks ever showed from where it hit the ground i wouldnt expect 272 to be much different, its just the version that allows you to tint your primer for quicker base coat coverage but at the same time, ive seen 275 stick to freshly waxed cars, and to cars that were sitting outside in the rain while a car was being sprayed in the shop ... no lie ... stuff sticks to anything that gets in its way
The life span of the NCP series isn't that good. I used that on my wifes' car several years ago. It shrunk and had die-back after 3 years. It doesn't carry PPG's warranty also. What are you trying to do?
