Ultracote Matching Paint
Guys - I've been using PPG Concept paint in the past for fiberglass cowls and wheel pants. Mixing recipes could be found online for the basic Ultracote colors which matched extremely well. The paint sprayed easy with great results. Problem now is the Concept line seems to be fading away - many of the tints used to custom mix the Ultracote colors are no longer available.
Is there another route I can go to achieve similar results? I've heard of Klass Kote being used...can pre-mixed pints be purchased that match the coverings we use? Thanks for any info out there!

A gentleman on one of the F.B. groups has been using artist acrylic paints. IIRC he uses the Liquitex brand From Hobby Lobby. They are very thick but highly loaded with pigment so still cover well when thinned to spray. I've used some of the craft acrylics with fair success. I always clear with automotive urethane to fuel proof. I will be giving the art acrylic a try next time around. Liquites also has a painting guide discussing mixing colors and making transparent paints like red and yellow cover better.

Many find the paint in special stores, you must ask a consultant right there how could you mix ultracote ones. You cannot find the same store in every city, this is why I would like you have specified where you need to take it from. I don't understand the need for that type of color, as any other kind could match your needs, and if you search enough, there could be ones that work better. I required custom paint when my child decided to paint something on the neighbor's metallic wall, and the service in the store explained everything and helped me out, this is why I suggest asking for advice in specialized places.
