What are your paints made of?

Last updated on 17 Oct, 2025

Our paints vary by the format of the product that you purchase, and in some cases, by the color you choose. Below is a summary of our paints by format.

 

1. Bottle Kits

  • Our primer, base color and mid coat (for tri coat)  and clear coat bottle paints are a waterborne paint formulated for automotive refinish.

  • The base color paint is the same waterborne formulation used by many original equipment automotive manufacturers. This is a low VOC paint. Note: the application of clear coat is required to seal and protect the paint as well as to fully enable the color match.

 

2. Aerosol Kits

  • Our primer and clear coat are single component (1K) solventborne paint.

  • Our base color depends on the color you bought. You may have been sent a solventborne paint or a waterborne paint. Check the Paint can (the color coat):

An “S” code on the can indicates Solventborne paint

  • If there is an “S” code on the back panel, you have a solventborne paint.

  • If your can has any other code, such as P, I or U, then you have waterborne paint.

3. Pro Size Kits (half-pint, pint or quart sizes)

  • Our primer and clear coat are two component (2K) urethane (solventborne) paint.

  • The base color paint is the same waterborne formulation used by many original equipment automotive manufacturers. This is a low VOC paint. Note: the application of clear coat is required to seal and protect the paint as well as to fully enable the color match.
