Anyone see any problems with this combination? I was attempting to use this old omni paint I had to paint my trunk lid and either I suck, or omni paint is worse than I remember it being. I even thinned the stuff out a little bit more than the suggested mix ratio and the paint still splattered and ran like crazy. So I want to use the deltron/ppg paint as a base and use the remaining omni clear on top, since the omni clear is pretty easy to work with. Comments? Suggestions? Forseeable problems? Thanks! ---

not a problem, did that for long time. omni is PPG paint. kinda bottom of the barrel stuff but the combination will work. hopefully the clear is not too old though ---

clear is about a year+ old. The consitancy looks about right. how about mixing deltron paint with omni reducer? Can’t let that half gallon of medium reducer goto waste! 😉 ---

should be fine. but you say your gun is spraying funny? keep in mind with omni you have to put extra coats on since it is so thin. DBC takes 2-3 coats and covered. i have used omni where it takes 4-6 coats sometimes. ---

yeah, it was spraying way too wet out of the gun. I think it was a combination of old paint and not cleaning the gun out well enough the last time. oops! ---

omni clear is ok but sucks over time it sometimes likes to dye back, i swear as time goes on the shit is made cheaper and cheaper has more solvents then solids and dyes out, but for the longest time i used ppg dbc basecoat and cleared it with omni and never had one problem with that, and it sounds like your gun isnt operating right
