nipper Posted September 29, 2012 Share Posted September 29, 2012 er, um, what process will you be using? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefferonie Posted September 30, 2012 Author Share Posted September 30, 2012 I've got an HVLP system. I used to refinish bathtubs with acrylic enamel, but I've read acrylic urethane is better for auto. I've seen some auto paint sites with all in one packages, but I'm just not familiar with all the brands/quality? Process- prep, primer, paint?

Crazyeights Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 I would look at Urethane and separate clear-coat vs Acrylic. It works very well and is quite forgiving in the event you need to fix a mistake, ect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sefferonie Posted October 1, 2012 Author Share Posted October 1, 2012 Ok, I'll check that out thanks... any paint brand recomendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
doc526 Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 My dad and I have used PPG stuff in the past on the hot rods and it seems to work good. Recently, Duplicolor has put out a line called Paintshop and I have been wanting to try it out. You can get all the items from your local auto parts store vs. going to an auto body supply shop.

Loyale 2.7 Turbo Posted October 2, 2012 Share Posted October 2, 2012 ...any paint brand recomendations? My personal Experience: I Always use Glasurit or Klass brands Polyurethane paints; the finish will outlast any other car paint and you always have the "Just Painted" feeling, even after years of use.
