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!
