Dave, I didn't mix my DCC with hardener and that might make a difference. I hope we're not seeing variations at PPG vendors or this will become an impossible venture. That DCC was just a quick swab of the paint wiped on the panel w/o hardener.
I have not sprayed out the DCC yet because it's a lot of trouble to set up to deal with the isocyantes. I have lots of bare steel right now and can't set up fans and let humidity inside. The DBC base doesn't have iso, so it was quick to spray that test. The 2K clears and DCC contain isocyanate and proper health protection is crucial.
We need to keep in mind that on the computer screen, we can only make comparisons against an ajacent solar red example. Differences in cameras and monitors will make shade comparision between my photo and someone elses photo invalid.
