what are u mate 1st year? ive sprayed everything, glazo, spies, standox, protec, ppg, sikkens, azko, beta and ill tell ya now theres nothing wrong with ppg. no custom? who invented harlequin paint? mate go and try products for urself and then make an opinion then u can bag it out. ppg may not be as good as du pont, but du pont is one of the hardest paint systems to use, ppg would be the easiest. ****s on protec and im doin sick jobs with that.

well you gotta admit this is a funny thread - but I tell you now your barking up the wrong tree VLrally - james you will find is one of the best startin painters out there you could ask for of course he has alot to learn and flies of tap easy , but If I was you I'd look at the quality of work he has put out in such a small time frame and limited experience and you'd agree he has much talent and will be someone to look out for in the future .. who INVENTED harlequin was a company in america called 'flex products' and ppg actually buy it from them .. I think you also have a 'damn' lot to learn .. Some original photos have not been recovered yet.
