I liked the DBU much better as it had the re-active reducer and made the base lock up , and not move , & more user friendly, plus DBU didnt have the lift cycle that DBC can have
Makes a big difference in the re-finish market .
But DBC also has a hardner ( I think DX59 ) you can add to the base to make it lock up like DBU .
I have been shooting DBC for the past 3 years as PPG is slowly fazing out DBU .
Sprayed alot of DAU 75 myself , I was using it as a base clear many years ago over Delstar , I think thats why I went to base clear so well when it was introduce , I hated Lacquer and hated the look , metallics always looked flat , unlike an acrylic enamel in my opinion .
DAU82 was a very nice clear but was a 3 coat clear in its day , unlike the high solid 2 coat clears of today .
I hated the F'ers that laid down lacquer then shot DAU75 over it , what a mess if you had to get back into it when it was damaged !
I might add that PPG's Clears are formulated for Heat make-up booths , but they can be air cured , wont hurt them , but you better make sure you have air movement for a long period or they like to solvent pop . FWIW .
Sorry for your loss of friend Mike McGee, Shine. Great trans men are few and far between, it seems. Sadly, Mike Frade was only 66 and had been talking about retirement for ten years that I know...
