On a serious note, I have been in the paint and body repair business for over 15 years. I know that automotive paint can be expensive, but there are some alternatives to expensive base coat clear coat systems. All of the major paint manufacturers such as Sikkens, PPG, and Dupont offer a by line of products under a different name. Example, PPG offers a line called Omni, you can purchase a gallon of single stage polyurethane paint with activator for around $150.00. Sikkens offers a by line called Lesanol. The point is you can save some money and still get a quality automotive finish. I agree with 53money pit, the industrial paints look decent initially but they will fade quickly. The price of paint has really gotten ridiculous, it is tough for the average Joe to afford. Another tip, most automotive paint stores have paints that either were ordered and not picked up or the customer did not like the color. These paints can be purchased for a fraction of normal cost.
