OT: duplicolor Paint
I was looking around the auto store tonight and came across duplicolor primer and paint in quart cans ready to spary with a gun. Has anyone ever used it? It also has a clear that you can put of after it. I'm not looking for a perfect paint job but something to make my woods toy a little better.

Thanks for the time guys,
Doug

If you looking for something easy and cheap shop around and you can find a one stage paint that way all you have to do is prime mix the hardener in the paint and spray. White is your friend if thus is you first time painting

I believe he means the tv show Gearz with stacy david who used to be on Trucks. They always talk about duplicolor paints.

If you are painting a "brush beater" ,the easiest thing to use is a single stage acrylic enamel with a hardener added ..
