I have used Dupont products for ever, Lucite and Centari when I began 30 years ago, now I really like the Chroma system.

JT,

I wish your friend the best in trying to get even anything from SW. I had a problem with Dupont Lucite 18 years ago. 2 paint jobs went south, both cracked before the left the shop. 2 reps came out after much prodding by me. One was the NJ rep and the other the North East rep, they told me to my face that it was thier problem with a bad tint BUT they did not warentee Lucite PERIOD!! I wound up blocking the paint off the cars and using another brand paint...18 years later they still look like the day they were finished.

I talked with my friend today and he said that a lab in NJ told him that this is not the first time in the past year that MS or SW paints have been sent to them for testing. Most of the other cases have been in litigation and sent by an attorney. He used hardener in the base one time and it seemed to make it worse than without using it. Oh well maybe time will tell, but I believe they are going to have their hands full with the paint company and litigation will be their only avenue.

An update on this and Martin Senour has found that the problem is in their product and not a painters issue. I guess it won't have to come to litigation. Thank you from my buddy for eveyone's help.
