I just bought an ASW20B that was refinished in DuPont Imron back in '93 by
Fred Jiran. The paint is in surprisingly good condition for its age, but
there are lots of small spots where hangar rash needs to be fixed. There
are also some slight dings in the wing skins on the bottom that will
eventually need to be smoothed and painted over. Two questions:
1. Can I use PPG Concept over the Imron?
2. How do I blend the spray edges into the Imron for a seamless finish?

Your best bet for minor stuff is just do in Imron.
Paint blending is enough of a trick that if you have to ask the
question, you likely will have problems.
Touch up problems as carefully as you can, then color sand and polish
back.
Beware of toxcity of any of these paints- they are tough on brain
cells.
Good Luck

A couple weeks ago I needed some Imron for a touchup job. I don't
know if it is common practice, but my paint supplier sold me a 2 oz.
(more than enough) bottle for $10.00. A Quart would have been $97.00
+ the hardener/catalyst.
