fwiw, I have painted a number of vehicles over my life. I let this one get farmed out becuase I now live lakefront and the troll that lives down the street is the offical lake environemntalist, and she poops kittens over wet spots under vehicles. this problem is compounded by the fact that I don't have a garage (yet)  if you have a garage, eastwoodco.com is a vendor for house of Kolor paints, snd I'm also a big fan of PPG products. stay awaay from the shermin williams garbage.

Let me just tell you...

My best friend's dad owns a body shop and he has redone so many macco paint jobs that he has lost count.  They look good for about a year then they look like t-total crap.  And when you go to have it professionally redone because it looks like crap then you get and ridiculously high bill because they had to fix all the crap that macco messed up on it and they have to scrape off the paint that they sprayed on it and the paint that was on it to begin with, which they did not remove.  Of course, a mans entitled to his opinion and opinions are like  :moon: everybody's got one, but I'm just trying to save you some frustration down the road. Aight.
