It's half the price of Dupont, but cheap is not always best. | | | | | Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Apr 2005 Posts: 1,971 | I have not used Painter's Pride, but I have used a cheaper line called Omni. It's pretty good stuff, but it doesn't seem to match the quality of the name brands. If I'm going to paint something with a lot of prideful concern, I guess I would go with the proven product.
The paint is what there is the most of to look at. I guess I wouldn't take a chance on the cheap after getting this far. | | | | | Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 Shop Shark | | Shop Shark Joined: Jun 2005 Posts: 887 | The difference between 50/gallon and 100/gallon isn't that much when you are talking about what you are going to have to look at and rely upon for the next 10+ years to protect your truck from rust and sun.

I used the Omni brand and it's OK but I wish I had put the better clear on my truck. The depth is much better with the higher priced paints and clears. Although I was not going for a show truck just something that looked good I wish I had bought the better paint. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 Bubba - Curmudgeon | | Bubba - Curmudgeon Joined: Sep 2001 Posts: 29,269 | Ditto on the PPG Omni and on going with a top line paint. I used Omni primers and sealers on my Suburban and now wonder why. | | |
