STRONGSVILLE, Ohio, Aug. 20 - PPG Industries' (NYSE:PPG) automotive refinish business has expanded the line of VIBRANCE COLLECTION® custom paint finishes with the addition of VC5700 DITZLER® Custom Clear. Designed to work with all Vibrance Collection custom colors, the new clear delivers show-quality gloss for restoration, refinish and custom work.

VC5700 has been developed to deliver high build and superior vertical hold, making it an excellent choice for filling tapelines, burying flakes and leveling transitions on graphic overlays. It uses a simple 2-to-1-to-1 mix ratio and is easy to apply, buff and polish, leaving an ultra-smooth finish.

"VC5700 Ditzler Custom Clear provides a rich, durable and lustrous look," said Steve Lehner, PPG product manager. "It's a great choice for the most demanding custom projects. Custom car builders and painters will quickly see the benefits of this new product."

VC5700 Ditzler Custom Clear is suitable for all markets, depending on the PPG reducer used. In 2.1 volatile organic compound-compliant (VOC-compliant) markets, it can be used with DT1855/D8767 Reducer. In national rule markets, DT8XX/D87X Reducer should be used.
