| In this episode of Eastwood Garage, Jon Moss and Bob Fritz from Planet Color join Dennis to talk about the latest technology in custom automotive paints. According to the company’s website, “Planet Color is a system of optically enhanced™ coatings with attitude that uses new technology and materials for a radically new visual appearance. These custom coatings are so unique that they can only be described as Where Art and Science Collide™. Imagine colors that are shimmering, iridescent, textured, color shifting, nostalgic, intense, and illuminating at night. Use Planet Color custom finishes on everything from your car, motorcycle, snow mobile, personal watercraft or virtually anything to take it from ordinary to spectacular” (www.planetcolor.com). Part of the secret is that the Sherwin Williams Ultra 7000 paint contains actual mirror compounds that give the paint an incredible luster and reflective quality after it is applied. Oh, and by the way, this paint is OEM approved! To show just how this paint looks, Jon and Bob brought two cars that were simply dazzling! A first generation Camaro that was painted in a traditional paint scheme and a 1955 Mini that was covered with more than 80 custom colors! Both Jon and Bob went on to tell Dennis that other advantages in using this paint are that you don’t have to be an expert to shoot it and that it is both easily repairable and incredibly durable. If you are looking to go a different route, Planet Color also offers a textured paint that is heat resistant up to 500°F! So, if you are looking for a paint that will stop ‘em dead in their tracks, look to Planet Color! You can find them on the web at www.planetcolor.com. By the way, don’t forget when you are looking for unique automotive tools and supplies for your automobile restoration, you should give the folks at Eastwood a visit at www.eastwood.com.
