I've sprayed most of the other brands out there, r&m, ppg, nasson, dupont, kirker, house of kolors, etc I've been the most happy spraying sherwin williams products that's what's on my cars. Dads truck we sprayed with ppg per his request
Depends on the look you want. Nostalgic and warm--single stage (Plus you never have to be concerned about clear coat peeling). My vote - Valspar Slick and modern -- Base/clear (You'll always be concerned about clear coat peeling) My vote - Standox
Im using single stage for door jams,trunk,engine bay ect. all the inside and underneath surfaces, because it cuts cost and is less labor intensive. On the outside Im useing 2 stage for depth, shine and extra UV protection. In Southern Arizona Clear always peels if the car is stored outside. This car is going to be a covered Hangar Queen so im not worried about peeling, like on my Harley at $158.00 a Quart.
i no all u guys have ur favourite brands and stuff, a lot of them being really good ones but if u want a super cheap paint while still having decent quality, go with dulpi-clour's ready-to-paint mixes, no thinners just mix and spray. and theyr about 25 bucks a quart. awesome stuff really. im sure ur looking at othr higher quality brands but if u want to cut down costs then use dupli-colours primers and/or clears, it cood save u some cash.
