A lot of guys say it's okay to use cheap paint, because they will simply paint it again. How are they saving on cheap paint, if they pay for materials twice, plus perform the labor twice??? I only did a couple years of college, but I just don't get it?
Truer words were never spoken. He is also right about the catalized part. Cures faster, and is much more durable.
I painted my '27 frame and suspension 15 years ago with Dupont Centari, with hardner, and it still looks great today, after sitting in the sun and rain for most of that time. I know Centari is old technology, but for me it flows nice and I like the results. Plus. I have taken numerous rock hits and wrench drops with almost no chipping.
HOTRODPAINT knows his painting, it is very evident. Take his advice, even though you are painting flat or satin, and you won't be redoing it every 6 months.
