55 Fargo Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Hi all, has anyone tried or familiar with Scherwin Williams AIC acrylic enamel paint. I stumbled across it at a local body shop supply house. It is very inexpensive, the paint $65 per gal, reducer $29 per gallon, hardener $35 per quart, total price $129.00 canadian or $105 US.No doubt it is probably sold for evn less in the US, auto paints are expensive in Canada. This is very economically priced auto paint, they can mix any clor apparently. Nason is $125 per gallon Canadian here for white, and the reducer hardener is extra. I like this price, and the salesman said it sprays out nice and looks great for the price. I know it's not BC/CC but it may be a good product to try on the 47..............Fred Quote
Young Ed Posted January 31, 2009 Report Posted January 31, 2009 Here you go Fred one sherwin williams special. This car was painted with a brand made by them called Western automotive paints. The last time we checked the body supply place here was having a hard time getting it. So maybe they have now switched to the stuff you mentioned. Also the western stuff wasn't tintable. They only sold so many colors and if you didn't like one of those too bad. Quote

The AIC line mayb e a replacement for the Western line, not sure. Apparently they can tint the AIC to any color, as well they have premade colors too. The thing is it's a real Acrylic enamel paint, should stand up possibly better than Rustoleum Cocktail mix, at least for sun fading. I also am looking atNason lines, they also have an economical enamel that is even priced less than the acrylic enamel, it can be tintied to any color too. PS that clor looks like Tremclad Royal Blue, a color I really like, my only problem with Tremclad is mixing and getting it right, as the manufacturer does not advocate playing around with mixing in reducers and hardeners..........Fred Quote
55 Fargo Posted January 31, 2009 Author Report Posted January 31, 2009 Ed, I did a google search for Western Automotive paint, everytime I tried to log onto a site, it would pop up a message of this will be harmful to your computer, not sure why, did not pursue it.........Fred Quote

Hi Tim, the AIC, is there dirt cheap economical line, so not sure how it will perform. The higher end Scherwin Williams line would no doubt be a good topcoat. the mixing rate formula with this AIC line is 8-2-1, HVLP spraygun 1 medium wet coat, 2nd coat medium cross pattern.............Fred Quote
