This is my first try with Sikkens. I'll have to go look at the can, not sure what it is! I normally use PPG DBU/DBC and once use Spies-Hecker. Also tried Transtar which did not impress me.

Hi Jody, if you're used to painting with PPG then you'll have no problems with Sikkens. Sikkens is a superior paint to Spies-Hecker & PPG in my opinion.Their silver basecoats spray out smoothly without the "mottled" effect that can occur with some other basecoats if you're not careful. You'll find that once mixed to the correct ratios the clear may "seem" a little thinner than other 2K paints, but it sprays on beautifully smooth, with very little surface " 'peel" & will colour sand & cut back easily. Sikkens really is the "new generation" of 2K paints compared to a lot of others. Best of luck.
