Chroma or Nason Paint?

Chromabase is Duponts mid to high production system. the only one that is a production system that is higher is Chromapremier. Chromabase is a nice system, user friendly but I would recommend using there Value shade system as well if you are going to use this system as it is designed to fix the non covering problems that Dupont paints have. depending on the color of the vehicle it will give you a value shade sealer to put on under the paint. VS1-VS7. VS1 being the lightest in color and VS7 being the darkest. Like if you are painting it white you will put on VS1 if its a black metallic (or solid) or dark blue it will most likely be VS7.

I hope I have answered your questions about this product. Please stop waisting our time.

I agree with this 99%. The only thing that is not quite correct is that Nason does NOT use pearls. It uses metallics to make up for the lack of pearls. This is one of the reasons why the colors almost never match. However, if you want to do it cheap then go for it. I say use the Nason base, then use the G2 7779S clear. Or spend the extra money and buy Chromabase instead of the Nason. Personally I like Chromabase and I think the Valueshade system actually allows you to get a closer match then some other systems out there. The only downside is when you have to match someone else's repaint and you have no clue what Valueshade they used. I have had a few issues with this but overall I am happy with the results!

Nason does use some pearls just not the same that chromabase uses. You would have to carry some to make most of the colors coming on cars now a days. Most factory jobs have some sort of pearl in them thus if nason did not have ANY pearls you would not be able to get a honda B92p or a chevy 382e.

Hmmm, I'll have to ask the paint store about this. They have previously told me that there were no pearls at all in Nason.

I'm sure it may have looked like pearl but when I asked at the store today that is 90% dupont they took me in the back and showed me their nason mixing station and they have NO pearls. We pulled up a couple different colors that we knew had heavy pearl in it when in Chromabase and when the mix was pulled up in Nason it showed nothing but metallics.

If others have supposedly had pearl in Nason then those other stores must have a different set-up than the store I use.
