I understand Centari has been discontinued. Is that just out west in California or nationwide?

Hi- not that I know of- its not VOC compliant in many areas of our wonderful state, but it can be obtained.

A Good substitute is Nason Fulthane single stage urethane. It has a lot of the same properties of Centari. Dries hard and is easy to buff if needed. Just my opinion and know you didn’t ask. Just trying to offer an alternative.

+1 on the Nason. Ive painted several Expo grade tractors with it and like its flow characteristics better than the Centari at more than double the price.

via the Internet could not find any retail outlets selling Axalta so it may be discontinued.
DuPont sold the Centari brand to Axalta Coating Systems several years ago
eBay search has cans available
Looks like Axalta sells under different Brand names
Armacoat in the US? https://www.armacoat.com/centari
Cromax brand in Europe? https://www.axalta.com/content/crmx_eu/en_GB.html
