Anybody have any experience painting with this paint? Is it single or double stage? Are you happy with it?

TIA

Last time I ordered some it was a Dupont product. Single stage. I never did use any. Still sitting on the shelf but probably bad now.

Well that was a better quality than I had imagined... Is it a better buy than from a jobber?
Just wondering what the percieved advantage is suppose to be.

They have the right colors, easy shipping, and reasonable prices. I just wanted to see if anyone has used it.

Thanks

I used paint from jim carter, I bought a gallon at first it was Dupont centari single stage acrylic enamel. I needed more later on and it was alk-200 by pittsburg paint. It is an industrial alkide enamel. My paint job turned out very nice, But I sanded down the shine with 1500 grit paper and then put on 2 coats of Kirker urethane clear. I would advise going to a jobber.
