Eastwood's Single Stage Paint

As work progresses paint will be coming into play. Has anyone used Eastwood's Single stage paint?

If so did you like it or not?

Something better that you preferred?

I used a Nason urethane SS paint on my 71 Oldsmobile. I had it mixed at a local paint supply store to match the factory color. I suppose Nason is considered a "bargain" paint, but it sprayed well and still looks great 4 years later.

For what Eastwood wants go to TCP Global and get the same paint. I think even Kirker single stage is a better paint with more options and better flow through cheaper spray guns. At the end its still SS and for not much more just spray two stage. It's up to you but a good base with a 2k clear will be more durable and provide a thicker finish.

I use a lot of the Kirker products, price is right and finish is good. Also find its slightly easier for a novice. I have done 25+ trucks and trailers with their products. I use HOK or Dupont on the more expensive projects.
