Re: WTF paint codes !!!!

On the Z1 / YZ , we always just use single stage because it's a better match.
The single stage can be reduced out, and sprayed similar to as if it was b/c, then let it flash 15-20 minutes and clear it.
Depending on the vehicle, sometimes we just panel paint with single stage, and other times we blend it and clear it.
We have also used what's called "factory pack" PPG Deltron DBC basecoat for that color. Factory Pack means the paint manufacturer actually mixes a particular color in a large batch and sells it usually in a pint or quart. It can many times be a better match than what you get mixed off the stir bank at a jobber. As far as I know, only PPG and DuPont (now Axalta) sell factory pack color. R-M used to, but I believe they quit.
