Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel
My 39 year old paint on my Forty I have owned for 60 years needs some touch up. It was painted in 1983 with Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel single stage the wet sanded and buffed. My problem is Dupont sold out 10 plus years ago and the paint materials I need for a perfect match are no longer available from any retail paint supplier. I am hoping that my Ford Barn Friends have what I need tucked away in their garage or have a lead to where I can find.
This is what I Need: One gallon 99A Dupont Centari Pitch Black. Two pints 793S Dupont gloss hardener and activator. One gallon 8022S Dupont reducer. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks Tom. |

Re: Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel
Be happy you didn't paint it with 99s diamond black acrylic lacquer like I did mine.
Check here for a gallon----- https://www.johnsonautobodysupply.co...-(Gallon).html

Re: Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel
Centari with the hardner is easy to spray, lasts for many years
keeps it's gloss. 43 years ago and is just like I did it last week. G.M.

My '51 looks that good in pictures; in person, not so much.

Re: Dupont Centari Acrylic Enamel
I dispose of paints that are more than 10-years old if they have separated to the extent that they can no longer be mixed to a smooth consistency. I would go to a local paint supply store that handles automotive and/or aerospace paints. Find one that has a good reputation for matching colors.
Centari with the hardener basically made an acrylic urethane coating out of acrylic enamel. Exalta still has single stage urethanes and PPG likely does too. I've used both Concept and Imron elite types as well as Sherwin-Williams. Acrylic urethanes generally go on easier than poly-urethanes but either one will work OK with experience.

The Imron 400 or 3500 are available but very expensive and hard to source unless a person lives in a big aviation manufactureing environment. https://www.axalta.com/content/dam/N...n-brochure.PDF |
