To be honest I don't plan on having 500 or 600 in the whole body period much less the top coat lol. I'm using 2k urathane hs primer around 100 a gallon and maybe around 200 in the paint not counting filler and sand paper od course. I have a similar thread started on a FB abody group and I had a guy over there tell me he used a "cheap" bc/cc and the clear is cracking he showed me a picture the car still looks pretty darn good to me but he said it lasted 8 years. I don't understand what the difference is urathane is urathane what would make one brand different that another? Just to be clear my car Is a fixer upper backyard project its never been a priority to make it a show car I just want it to look good while I'm driving it I'm painting the car myself i dont have a booth or a garage I have a carport I'm gonna wrap in plastic. I know it's not gonna be perfect or show worthy so 100 paint is fine with me even If it doenst turn out to be perfect. I'm not gonna spend 500 bucks a gallon on paint and then mess it up when I do my backyard spray job. If I mess up with summit paint oh well screw it I will sand it down and order another quart lol you know what I mean? I did learn my lesson with cheap enamel paint I painted this same car 13-14 years ago with enamel tractor emplement paint and it didnt last 5 years. But it was 20 bucks a gallon so I didnt expect much.
