On PB`s website it says:
"CLEARCOATS, LACQUER, ENAMEL,
IMRON, PEARL, FIBERGLASS,
and GEL COATS"
Can anyone describe how each of these are paint? I know clearcoat it, but how does Fiberglass qualify as a type of paint.

IMRON? stop making crap up steve! Seriously never heard of such a thing. Must be something old olished and protected by his products. I`m asuming that is why it`s in that list.

I believe that Imron is a trade name that Dupont uses for polyurethane enamel, not 100% positive but I`m sure PB will answer this one.
Did a quick google search, and you are correct. Used alot to repaint boats and fleet vehicles.Originally posted by rtcat

Well Fiber glass is usally painted over or clearcoated so I guess it applys there. Like boats and watercraft.

Second if you have had all the people who come up to me that own Corvettes or Street Rods and ask me if it`s safe for Fiberglass , and they are thinking it`s different than any other painted surface then you`d understand why i wrote it...I deal with a lot of Corvette and Street Rod owners and a few clubs too...
Third...Imron is a favorite of fleet vehicles for longevity and abuse and it is a Dupont product...very hard to deal with though...and almost always gets runs in the paint....we use to paint the PacTel phone trucks with the stuff..for those of you in California..
Fourth ..gel coats are found on boats and on hard tonneu(sp) covers on pick up trucks....
Fifth..enamel is and should be a given as Pearl is a type of high gloss , very expensive paint that is also very hard to get right , but when done right has the best look ..IMO..
see now you made me write a long response
That was my first thought the Corvette alot of people seem to think the rear fiberglass part is different then the all the other painted parts for some wierd reason.

Steve, I was not trying to insult you or anything, I was really just wanting to know what the different kinds were, thats all.

heh heh i still have no clue why GM still makes there corvette`s out of glass. Seems rediculous to make such a high end car of such lousy material.

They should use Carbon Fiber.

I know that and that`s why i wanted to clear that up....Originally posted by Tassadar

Koop it`s all about the weight....if it was made of steel the Vette would be a dog...but that`s for another thread....
the Fiberglass is also a very easy repair for those who do it often...and it is also very easy to mold and make extremely smooth....
Why Vette owners think they have something different than anyone else(paintwise) I`ll never know..it must be all the $$$ they spend.
Why not use Carbon Fiber its stronger and just as lite For that price it should be there.
