Appreciate that bit of info Darin.

The only thing about when buying the products at the paint supplier is, the counterman was recommending the Omni line instead of the PPG stating that a novice painter doesn't need to spend big $$$ for a first time project.
But if the finish is going to be substandard with the cheaper paint, what's the point?
I keep reading that "you get what you pay for", which is true in most cases.
Just like the cheap, non-catalized primer/surfacer he recommended for my foundation, like it wasn't that big of a deal, it'll work with single stage enamel....but how long?
I'm not sure whether or not that guy knew for sure what he was talking about. It was an auto parts store that was also a PPG dealer.

Anyhow, I thought single stage acrylic enamel requires a hardener additive regardless?
I've just read in other articles that some brands don't colorsand very well. I guess the tech sheet would tell me that? Not sure.

I will definitely be doing this myself whichever product I'm leaning towards. I just want to get some more insight from people like yourself who know for sure.
