You do not have to spend 800 bucks a gallon to have a nice paint job. All brands usually have a economy paint such has dupont has Nason, and PPG has Omi, so on. If you are doing a metallic stay with a Basecoat/Clearcoat system, don't even think about doing a single stage metallic. Single stage is great for solid colors especially black. Now what I do is use a economy line basecoat and go with a higher end clear for the gloss and uv protection.
