Any body use this type of paint??

We, the shop I work for, are getting a Sherwin-Williams paint mixing system. The rep is dropping off the station/table so we can get it wired up. Then Friday, after we have attended a class in Burr ridge Thursday, the rep and a tech will outfit the station with all the toners. I'm really excited about being able to mix my own paint again. We're get the ATX line but with the Ultra clears. This will be the paint that I'll be using on my car.

Na, That's the AWX line.

The ATX line is their base line. It flows out pretty well. It was easy to mix and the clear we used, flowed out better than I figured. Future plans are to attend the class for their Planet Color line.

I used Ultra 7000 on my 76 Elite for bb/cc application and it sprayed and layed out nice and wet sanded and buffed out nice. Seemed to be durable too..

The ATX line is their middle line paint. It sprays and flows out better than I thought it would. It is a new product line for them that was brought over from Europe earlier this year. The class my boss and I attended was very fun and informational. Here is a couple of pics of a F150 I did.

Here is a couple of pics before I finished masking and sprayed it.

Looks like you do good work! Where is Griffith? I live about 75 miles southwest of Indy.

Thanks :) Griffith is just south of Gary.
My boss and I are going to bring the bird to the shop on Monday. That way I can work on the rest of the car when were slow or if I choose to stay over, or on weekends too :D I'm getting the impression from him that he wants to use my car as a rolling billboard for the shop and to start doing restorations.
