Up here in Ontario, I painted literally hundreds of cars in the mid to late 1970's and early eighties, and one of the best paints around was Dupont. I used their Dulux synthetic enamel for quickie one colour jobs, Centari acrilique enamel for 2 tone and /or custom paint jobs, (flames, graphics, colour blends, etc.), and occasionally their Imron polyurethane (although I couldn't get consistent results with it). To me, it was a great paint, and the paint reps were very knowledgeable and helpfull. In the 1990's I messed around a bit on a much smaller scale with their base/clear system, with good results. Now nobody in my town even sells Dupont paint anymore. The popular paint here is PPG, and I find that the local shop that sells it don't seem to know s##t about the product they sell. I asked about Dupont and was told---nobody sells it anymore cause its too expensive, they didn't keep up with new technologies, blah, blah, blah. I find this hard to believe. Anybody out there have more insight into this------is this just a local phenomenon????
