Two Comments on Paint


What Paint Standard?
from John Hellier, President
Responding to: Drawing Standards OK, Paint Not


My question is: What would be wrong if we used the standard that is used in the rest of the world? We have no end of problems matching paint since apparently no one in the paint business here has ever heard of a standard.




There are Lots of Paint Standards says ASTM
from Robert L. Meltzer, ASTM, Vice President, Publications & Marketing
Responding to: Drawing Standards OK, Paint Not


As Global and IHS currently distribute over 800 ASTM standards for paint, you may wish to get some clarification from the author on what specific paint standards are lacking. If he can provide such a list, ASTM will respond.
