IMHO, that's a good deal if you get the high end Sikkens. Remember there are
two levels to their quality (especially with the clear). Not that the
cheaper stuff sucks at all. Sikkens (from what I hear) usually likes to
train the painters how to use their products since they are a bit different
than the others out there (it dries faster and a few other things).
Apparently Sikkens offers a "school" for the places that are going to be
start using their products. A bigger bonus if the guys at your shop took the
class.
The product costs more, but because they don't have to use as much of it ,
it equals out to about what you'd pay for it in PPG, but with a better
product, and less waste.
If they don't have an oven booth to bake the car after it's done, just make
sure they shoot yours last of the day and leave it in the booth overnight.
