Where does one find the green or what I would call the base color. Have some spots to touch up and figured you guys knew how to get some or something close.

Is that availiable say at a parts store.

 

[emmado22]

Real CARC no.. For real CARC, Sherwon Williams industrial coatings division makes it..

I plan to use Gillispee that CARC is really toxic stuff gotta know what your doing and its not worth fooling with for touch up.

 

[emmado22]

CARC paint is no more toxic than any other paint. Take normal propper precautions when applying it, you wont have any problems.

Very cool. Is it hard to buy CARC from Sherwin Williams??

 

[emmado22]

Hard, no.. Cheap, no. The correct paint, yes

Um - I wonder if I could shoot CARC with my airless sprayer? I do have a tip for Exterior latex house paint ... you think that's sufficient? Or would I need to go a gravity feed system (like most Auto paint sprayers).

CARC data sheets are in the tech bulletins section of the SS library. All kinds of info including what size tip to use and what pressures to apply at. Treat it like any other epoxy coating-- avoid the fumes and spray mist. HVLP is best but we bought a "throw away" rig because clean-up's a pain once it kicks off.
The biggest concern/danger from CARC is sanding or sawing through the finish which releases CARC dust that is loaded with all kinds of heavy minerals... Silica, quartz, talc, christobolite, chromium oxide, and green spinel to name just a few.
Alfa Heaven is a good source for the late one-part CARC.

If you touch up carc with gillispe you will be able to see the spots. We touched up spots on a freshly painted truck and you can still tell the difference. The gillispe is smoother and shiner.
