PPG finish on the 212

Here are some cool photos of the Ferrari 212 with red oxide primer and going into the PPG DCC Concept single stage satin black. As you can see from the air in the paint room, there is quite a lot of over-spray in the air which is necessary to get the entire frame coated.

Ferrari 212 chassis is nearly finished and painted

Here is a nice photo of the 212 chassis with a fresh coat of primer and paint. We used a red-oxide primer from PPG and a special satin black That I feel is the perfect gloss in PPG’s DCC Concept line, a single stage finish. The finish is DCC Concept line is Acrylic Urethane and it is so tough and goes on so easy that it seems impossible anything work and look so good.
When painting something like this with all the tubes and welded areas, the bulk of the chassis is over-sprayed. It is quite an exercise to get under, upside-down and all around to ensure a good coat on all of the tubing. It is nice to know that the chassis will be coated to be preserved for another 50 years or more.

PREVAIL paint sprayer

One of my favorite products is this PREVAIL paint sprayer, I really enjoy mixing paint and spraying and this tool makes the job so satisfying and fun. Just like using a HVLP air gun, you can custom mix your paint colors and spray acrylic, clear, and other types of paint and since the paint in the glass jar is not mixed with solvents and aerosol like a typical spray paint “rattle can” the finish is just like a professional spray gun.

Without a huge air hose attached, you can get into small areas and match the surrouding areas perfectly. I would not dare spray large parts because it just does not have the volume but for touch ups and detailing, amazing!
