I have been hopping around hot rod boards to see what others are using for paint on a budget and I have heard good things about these guys they have good prices on about everything they sell. http://www.smartshoppersinc.com/AutomotiveFinishes/AutomotiveFinishes.html They have a very affordable line of paints by kirker. However, I was told to stay away from their clear coats. I was thinking about ordering a gallon of their basecoat to use with southern polyurethanes brand of clear. My biggest question is can I get away with using their epoxy primer and high build 2k surfacer? Thanks for helping out with my lack of paint intelligence as of late.

Anyone have any advice here? If I could get away with using some of these products I could save a good amount of money on paint. Im trying to avoid the nason or similar quality but thought if I used a decent paint system and a very good clear I should have a long lasting paint job if well cared for. Sometime down the road I will be redoing it just want it to look good now.

Have you been to Napa? Napa carries mostly Martin Senour, and my last car and several other cars in town have been painted with Napa paint and look very good when sprayed competently.

I went to napa and discussed the Martin Senour line of paints. They were not knowledgable at all and ventured to say that their paint was much better then ppg and dupont. Im thinking yeah right. They are not very cheap either so for the price they want for custom mixed paint I would rather risk my money in smaller amounts elsewhere.
