Re: Need recommendations for filler and single stage paint

The mid grade paints I have found to be thin . Meaning more coats to cover so in my opinion no real savings . I been using the Nason line on my 68 plays out nice with a good gun . The metallic needs to be thinned according to directions to get it the disperse evenly and I did an old trick of adding clear to the paint last coat was able to lay it out wetter and able to mist it to get the metallic correct since cutting and buffing isnt an option with SS metallic.

But your using solid as I did on the roof found its better to mix it without reducer . Covered better and gloss was better. I'm assuming you will be cutting and buffing so a little peel won't be an issue .

I paint in a large screened in popup with a positive flow mask I just had to buy a replacement mask.
