Guest Drewz Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 Hit the nail on the head with that one. Nuff said.

blueovalz Posted March 14, 2001 Share Posted March 14, 2001 I used to use Imron only, and now go with a good generic single stage polyurethane enamal that is half the price and covers in 2 coats (very high solids content). I personally shy away from 2 stage paints, especially on garage paint jobs because the more coats you apply, the more chance of trash getting into the paint.

madmanadam Posted March 19, 2001 Author Share Posted March 19, 2001 Day day all, Car is painted, base coat clear coat. Gallon of clear and lots of sanding. At first it looked orange then the next day it was red. Not much stuff in the paint in fact very little. Over all very happy, still doing mods on car so will be doing spot painting here and there.
