This was started on another forum and is a living growing document. It was created as a general guide for the newbie and it is in Google docs format which allows anyone to edit it and it auto saves every few seconds. I figured I would post it here so the knowledge and expertise on this forum can assist in completing this document. I did not create the spreadsheet, but did add to it. Thanx https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AhSmV1SQJjifdEU5TGNRdTQ2RzNVcjQySE9QVnowWFE#gid=0 A disclaimer was added, so you get the idea and purpose of the spreadsheet. *This sheet is a general guide for a point of reference and paint systems can vary from make, model and year from the same manufacturer and sometimes from panel to panel. This should not serve as replacement for a "test spot".
Polished Bliss has a pdf on paint hardness http://www.polishedbliss.co.uk/acatalog/pdfs/painthardness.pdf It reflects UK experience rather than that in North America but you can see relatively consistent classifications. The spreadsheet is fairly SMAT and LC centric so far.
Bump. There is some serious experience on this board, lets get er done! Few more manufactures need to be filled in and add some notes.
