The people I talked to before I painted Susie said the Omni isn't very UV
stable. But the Omni base coat works well under a good clear coat. I used
the Omni base coat ($80) under a top dollar clear ($200)

Subject: [tcb] What paint should I use?
Talk to 10 people, get 10 different answers.
The painter that painted my old dune buggy suggested that I use OMNI Acrylic
urethane. I was about to buy some OMNI AU for Sparky, but last night I
started reading a few websites and saw that most people aren't to impressed
with the lifespan of OMNI AU.
I went to a paint shop today at lunch to pick up some high build primer and
talked to the guy there and said OMNI AU is good if you want a car to look
good for a year then sell it. He suggested 3 coats of acrylic enamel,
single stage - no clear coat. So now I have several conflicting views. The
OMNI AU is about $150 cheaper than the AE.
I would like to hear what you guys think. Sammie I know you have painted
several of your cars in the driveway so I would definitely like to hear your
opinion and Lonnie your paint looks good. What did you use? Anybody else
got an opinion?
Help!
