    Feedback: paintforcars.com

    I was looking at their system too, glad I did not go with them. I chose the tcp global flat black and am going to use my local jobber for the color. See if your local jobbers carry OMNI or Shopline paint. It will be about the same price as the others and you do not have to pay for shipping

    I tried it on my hood scoop (first). the primer was suppose to be grey but it was white. I bought the artic white paint and the clear. Sprayed ok, I would say it would probably hold up as nice as a spray can paint job.

    What paint should I go with for 1974 Plymouth Scamp?

    with the black stripe, and black top you are pretty limitless in colors I would stay away from purple as the black will get lost in it. I know some will flame me for this but dont forget to think outside the box and maybe go with a non mopar color.
