I getting ready to repaint my truck what is the best paint to use?

 

Recomend any catylized epoxy or enamel. I like Centauri since you can later sand it with 600 paper and rub it out. Would not recommend lacquer; very forgiving but will not stand up to the elements.

 

I have sold and prefer PPG paints.The body shops and DIY's I sold to liked it for its ease of mixing and application,as well as its excellent color matching when doing spot repairs.For a low priced job you can use "Delstar" which is an enamel with urethane hardner. For a better job you would go with "Deltron" or "Concept". Both are single stage catylized systems which provide better resistance to the harsh enviroment {sun,acid rain,etc.}.For the ultimate finish you can use "DBC 2000" basecoat with "DCU 2021" clearcoat which makes a good 2 stage system.As for priming is concerned,I like the "DP40" epoxy primer because it doubles not only as a surfacer,but also a sealer when thinned accordingly,plus, you can't beat epoxy primer protection!
