i used PPG shopline on my car and with minimal wetsanding........it looks like glass. that was in my 2 car attatched garage at home, spraying everything with a KOBALT (yes POS from LOWES) HVLP gun at about 75 degrees temp. just dialed it in spraying it on a peice of flat stock steel laying in the garage to get the pattern and volume dials set. it was about 300 something for the paint, clear, and that with the reducers for each. i did have about maybe 80 hours plus in long boarding it in high build epoxy........then sealing it, then sanding the whole thing in 400 wet............prior to applying the color. do not skimp the slightest bit in the prep. you can always fix paint mistakes.....you dont want to have to start trying to fix the initial layers! i was really really pleased for the money that almost any color, new or old, can be put together in the shopline series. there is better stuff but i havent seen to many, at that cost, that turned out this way. i worked at a body/paint shop and we always used PPG.....or some house of kolor on radical ****--candies and such.
