i just called paint circuit and they told me like 250 bucks for everything like hardeners and all the other stuff for a satin black job! but i get like a gallon of paint is this a good deal? btw this paint is farm and factory paint sooo it will look good but not a super high finish!
i did not ask lol he siad it was very thick and had great coverage for my car with it's many colors but it's for industrial equipment! and made to stay outside 365 days a year he was reading the container to me LOL
Problem with industrial paint, at least the ones I know about are they contain alot off metals and a regular paint resparator wont filter them out. Painting one car with it wont hurt you...but guys who paint a lot with it have a shortend life span along with lots of other problems...
The paint your gonna be spraying is not good for ya. Even regular automotive. Make sure you protect yourself as much as possible.

I painted my dump truck frame with industrial paint this past summer and I would never recommend it to anybody espically for a CAR. Had to thin it out like water and would not cover.
I painted a Grand Cherokee with U-TECH industrial paint this week. Turned out pretty good and was only $50 FOR THE PAINT!! Also needed hardner but it was still around $80-90 for everything.
By law all automotive paint is now water based and is much safer to use. I would get in touch with Rondex here in Winnipeg, (204) 943-4531 and see what they can provide...

By law All the body shops here are still using reg paint
(according to Car Quest) who suppolies a lot, and uses non-water base on their own store
Only 1body shop has a water born and they don't like it
All body shops in Canada should be using water born by now. It's law. I prefer water born, if your shop is properly set up for it it's far better.
For a dyi job like Jonathans matt black, solvent is the way to go. The truck I painted with U-tech a couple weeks ago had the paint supplied to me by the guy who owned the truck.
Perhaps when you buy touch-up they can get away with non waterbourne..but I do know that Body Shops have to use it..whether they like it or not...I do know it has improved since Chrysler used it on Neons when they first came out in the 90's

I'm not worried lol
so thats why all the Neons have no paint left on them
Clear coats are low voc now...nothing like they were a few years ago. Now with HVLP guns and low voc clears way more goes on the car and a lot less solvent in the air. It's getting better every year.

nope! i looked into the paint more and i did not like the quality!........ she is in dry storage (grandmothers garage) and sporting some gray priemer LOL im close! Im still working on patch panels for the floors and what not sooo ill be good to show you guys some progress soon LOL........
and im not doing flat or semi gloss... im going full gloss black also im removing the green from the car.... the engien is red again and the rims are black.... decided to go more classic LOL
In Quebec there is no compliance to change over to water based paint yet, All the provincial signs that u see along the road are still painted with non water borne paint, according to my source water paint doesn't last as long--------so if its good enough for Mr Dalton I'm still going to use it.
