aikka or dupont?

mga sir, ask ko lang kung ano mas maganda between aikka and dupont. I have 06 nissan sentra(N16) gx, ill have it scheduled for washover sana or even change color. white kasi yung sentra and papapintura ko sana para di sya magmukhang taxi. meron nako na puntahan na shop.. NOTHING TO HIDE, sa may Pedgro Gil Sta Ana, aikka ang gamit nila.. kinompare ko naman dun sa isang napuntahan ko sa west ave katabi lang ng mister kebab, dupont ang gamit. i was thinking of painting the car pearl white or any pearl, kaso di ko alam kung dun ako sa sta ana or sa west ave papapintura. and di ko rin alam kapag nagpachange color ako, magkano at pano aayusin sa highway patrol. any suggestions mga sir?

Sir im not familiar with aikka, but i know dupont as a good paint. but more than the material or brand, i suggest you go with the better paint shop. in fact even nippon or anzahl would be good if handled by an expert paint shop. If the west ave shop you're talking about is ATOY or yung shop ni mike (atoy's painter) then I think you will be in good hands. they've been in the car industry for so long already. If you opt to have the the color change, they should be able to help you with the paperworks and registration for a fee or maybe include it in a color change package. I honestly dont advise color changes for cars less than 10years old as it decreases the value or the saleability of your vehicle.

DuPont is being used by many OEM car makers so you can't go wrong with their paint. I have a number of friends who have used the more aggressive and exotic colors of Aikka, and have won car shows' best in paint or exterior categories. A good example is Aikka's black gold color (c/o Hotwheels).

From personal experience, Anzahl candy (Ferrari) red is a time-tested head turner. In the end, it all boils down to your color preference and budget. I suggest you choose from stock colors, and avoid mixing colors. Mahirap mag touch up or repaint damaged panels using mixed colors. HTH

thanks sir for the suggestion.. mukhang maganda nga yung aikka. I planned to paint it with pearl effect kasi more of pearl white para dina ireregister sa HPG.. and they told me.. dadagdagan na lang daw yung top coat para if there would be any scratches di aabot sa paint.. yun nga lang problema sa pearl eh tricoat sya, mahirapan ang pagtimpla if ever may mga retouches na gagawin.. i was thinking, hindi ba may mga color code yung ganun? at sa mga dealers ng aikka or dupont ang mixing? I've been to Dupont sa may shaw, and they're the ones who mixes the paints.. if i get paint there directly at hindi yung shop, mas makakatipid sana kaso ang problema walang pumapayag na car paint shop sa ganun.
