Some paint questions for the guys who know paint
what are you running for paint? whatever it is,looks like its laying down nice!.....I love the plum crazy purple....Im just a little concearned with running this specific paint in that color....you guys have brought up good points...all the while though....I do not have upwards of $1500.00 to throw down on a paint job!!!.....Im on a tight enough budget...even buying what I am debating on buying is a little pricey......anyone who has great knowledge of paint...please chime in lol....what are the pros and cons of what kinds of paint? I want to run single stage because its cheaper,easier and stays true to the 70's look of paint...( IMO ) and ohh ya...ITS CHEAPER LOL....I know alot of guys say you get what you pay for and in some areas that is true but alot of it depends on the painter....sure you can go spend $2,000.00 on super fancy paint but if the guy spraying it doesnt know what he is doing...it will look like a $200.00 job. I just want a nice smooth good covering paint job with some shine to it. Im not looking to enter it into a museum or anything lol. how about this.....you guys swing over to there website and give all the guidlines on there paint a look over and what not and then let me know what you think...... http://www.summitracing.com/search/Part-Type/Paint/Brand/Summit/?keyword=paint ......Like I said, I am no expert here on paint and even when I did paint it was mostly motorcycles so I am use to using a quart or 2 to do the hole job lol ...all the help is appreciated guys and I thank you for taking the time out of your day to even bother
I'm a newbie and no expert but I'm almost to my second gallon already. I've only done the hood, deck lid and engine bay so far. I could be spraying too heavy but I have great coverage over black epoxy primer. The other gallon should get me through the fenders, doors and body with some left over for screw-ups and touch-ups.
Goodluck with single-stage with pearl. I hear horror stories about it. That paint sounds really cheap. Hope you get good coverage and not too much transparency.
Plum crazy is a great color
