Love it. Much like the old K&B Hobbypoxy. I can't compare to PPG 'cause I've never sprayed it.

Primer sands like butter, and won't clog your sandpaper. Nice coverage too.
Paints are equally nice.
The gentleman who owns the company (his name escapes me at the moment) is a first class guy, too.

Definately try it.

So Far I like it.

And the price is right !!

PPG is really good if you have the proper tools such as respirators and stuff, you will also need a place to paint awway from your unprotected loved ones. Yes my friend, it is that serious. It is extremely harmful to the lungs.

If you are like me, an averge Joe, I'd use Klasskote as it is not harmful and it is extremely easy to use. If you have a friend who paints cars and stuff, then PPG is the way to go.

Hope that makes sense!

Gotta agree with you, PPG is the way to go, but be forewarned, Auto guys usually apply TOO much paint (weight)

I have used PPG in the past, I like it a lot.
Yes I agree you have to be very careful spraying it.
Klass Koat can be purchased in smaller quantities and is very economical to use.

Thanks for your comments, Ill give it a try and see how it works out.

I ran a car restoration company many years ago, and PPG is very good but as said before needs the right equipment. Klass Kote is superb for models, sprayed using a finishing gun, with a 1mm needle at 40-50-psi, (thinned to around 50% depending on conditions) gives very good results.

Here's a few shots of a 'normal plane' done in a basic scheme.
