Hello Bernard,
That paint looks interesting. Another brand of Aircraft paint to look into. We need to fix up some of the paint work on ours due to damage, hence the link in case anyone else is looking around for Aircraft paint. I believe the OEM paint was aircraft paint.
Not a paint expert, in fact i know hardly anything about it.....
But seems like a good idea to paint it with top quality paint, that resists UV, and stuff. Did you paint your own Bernard, or take the easy but expensive route....
The colours we want on body, eventually are, mint green, cream and light purple, but thats gonna be way in the future, so just wanting to patcch up , with Palm Beach Green for now.
Sherwin Williams can match the Palm Beach colours.Not sure on price but, it's only a small area that needs touching up.
cheers and beers :- Steve

The early coaches were automotive enamel and then the finish was changed to "IMRON" Dupont Urethane (starting with coach serial# 167V100089) which is a epoxy two part paint and is very toxic and requires a full air suit to use today if you can find someone that will still shoot it.

Sorry, wrong TZE, it was 1975 not 1977 Imron replaced the earlier enamel.
Correct TZE is TZE165V100089.

I wasn't that great at organic chemistry, but I had looked this stuff up researching my chemical sensitivity issues. My parents had new windows (Anderson) put in their home last spring and I still can't enter the home without having a reation and have to leave. I think this may be in the caulks or foams that were used. That said, Imron was very durable and even if weathered badly will buff out to a gloss with very little material deposited on the buffing bonnet. I proved this on my 77.
"Methyl isocyanate (MIC) is extremely toxic. The threshold limit value set by the American Conference on Government Industrial Hygienist was 0.02 ppm. MIC can damage by inhalation, ingestion and contact in quantities as low as 0.4 ppm. Damage includes coughing, chest pain, dyspnea, asthma, irritation of the eyes, nose and throat, as well as skin damage. Higher levels of exposure, over 21 ppm, can result in pulmonary or lung edema, emphysema and hemorrhages, bronchial pneumonia and death. Although the odor of methyl isocyanate cannot be detected at 5 ppm by most people, its potent lachrymal properties provide an excellent warning of its presence (at a concentration of 2–4 parts per million (ppm) subject's eyes are irritated, while at 21 ppm, subjects could not tolerate the presence of methyl isocyanate in air).[14]
Proper care must be taken to store methyl isocyanate because of its ease of exothermically polymerizing (see Reactions) and its similar sensitivity to water. Only stainless steel or glass containers may be safely used; the MIC must be stored at temperatures below 40 °C (104 °F) and preferably at 4 °C (39 °F).
The toxic effect of the compound was apparent in the Bhopal disaster, when around 42,000 kilograms (93,000 lb) of methyl isocyanate and other gases were released from the underground reservoirs of Union Carbide India Limited (UCIL) factory, over a populated area on December 3, 1984, immediately killing thousands and leading to the deaths of tens of thousands in subsequent weeks and months."

Have you considered AlumiGrip from US Paint and Lacquer? We shot a LOT of it onto airplanes in the 60s wearing a simple filter respirator. And, while I always ascribed some of my peculiarities to various substances ingested for recreation in that era, maybe it was the paint.....

Slight correction, John.
Imron is not epoxy It is a two part polyurethane paint. It uses isocynate as the catalyst which is a cyanide compound and very toxic and can kill one if you do not use proper respirators to apply it.
