PPG D8113 clear matte coat Has anyone used this product yet?, and if so how are the results. Thanks in advance, Dave L.
I have used it several times on different products. It works well. I painted the dash on my 32, as well as all the interior parts on a 32 I painted for a friend. Durable product. As well, it is easy to spray and you get consistent results every time. For what it is worth, PPG is changing the product number. It will now be D8115. They have also added D8117 to the line up as well. Not sure why exactly they stopped with the 8113 designation. But once the jobber you deal with runs out they will only be able to get it as D8115. D8117 will be the same type of product, but will have a different gloss level. Glenn
I would like to see some pictures of results,, I used Klearcote Satin and that stuff glosses up unless you spray it on very light,, you have to spray mist coats or it glosses up. Its durability is negligible.
Tomorrow I will take a picture of my dash and post it for you. This product couldn't be any easier to spray. Nice wet coat, let it flash of to a matte finish, another coat, let cure. Done.
Your original question was about the product . You got several positive responses re; your question . I was responding to those . If a product is good and will save you from having to experiment and possibly redo it then IMO price is not an issue . I've been in this paint business fo 40 years and have seen a lot of bad material on the market ,so when you find something that works well , looks good and will hold up thru the years , buy it reguardless of price . If, like a lot of people you're more interested in $$ than quality , then do whatever .
I completely forgot I said I would take these pictures for you....Sorry about that. These may not be the bast with the flash. I took them when it was dusk out and not much light in my garage. If this picture isn't good enough just say so, I will take more tomorrow when I have better lighting. I don't have pricing, but I can tell you it is sold in quarts. The product is awesome, it's worth every penny.
Look, PPG is never cheap it's that good. You, yourself can call around and compare prices. You wanna play, your gonna pay. Nest question should be how to care for it as an exterior surfacer.
As someone in the Business good ain't cheap......it's that simple! Does it work? do you get paid to do the job twice? do you wanna buy the good stuff after the "almost as good" product isn't almost as good? Philly you got it correct!

great site if i want to paint my house... General Care and Maintenance of Matte Finishes The following guidance on Care and Cleaning of matte finish vehicles is aimed at the car owner, and applies to both the OE and the repair finish. Particular care must be taken with matte finishes to maintain an original even matte effect. Guidance for the car owner on maintaining the even matte effect over time Matte/Low gloss finishes can be relatively easily marked with general handling and day to day use (door/hood/deck lid opening, shoe scuffing on entry or exit of vehicle etc.).Care should be taken with these operations because marking or changing of the matte effect could result. Care should be taken to avoid spillage of fuel onto the matte/low gloss finishes. Fuel spills should be removed as soon as possible using the washing guidelines below, to avoid permanent damage or altering of the low gloss effect. 1. In order to keep the matte surface effect, the use of paint cleaner, abrasives or polishes and wax polishes mustbe avoided. The vehicle must not be polished. 2. Polishing will lead to a higher, uneven gloss effect. 3. Cleaning with unsuitable materials could alter the matte effect (generally increasing gloss). 4. Automated car washing should be avoided. The preferred car washing method is by hand with a soft sponge, mild soap and lots of water. Frequent car washing over a period of time could lead to increased and inconsistent gloss levels across a car panel. Washing under direct sunlight should also be avoided. 5. Insects and bird droppings should be removed immediately. These residues should be soaked in water to soften and/or removed carefully with a high pressure cleaning equipment. In the case of strongly adhered residues, a spray on insect remover should be used prior to washing. 6. Whenever using any type of cleaning fluids with soft sponges or cloths, it is essential not to apply pressure or rub the matte finish. A gentle wipe/spray on, wipe off technique should be used. Applying pressure will alter the matte effect and result in an uneven appearance.
