rat,
i havent used it YET..... but i have heard good things about it ......european car companies have used similar paints for years....they just use a urethane clear over it ......when i was at disney as a scenic painter we used similar paints with no problems and that stuff is outside 24 / 7 ....365.....with no paint failures .......

ToyGhoul used it and turned us on to it a few years back....still using the stuff today! It will take 1 Shot over it with no reaction....I plan on doing entire bikes with it as well as other junk ......Experiment! We would like to hear about your results....

A local shop is using it. I dont have any pics of their stuff. The product looks good, but they just started using it so I dont know how it will hold up to sun.

Did this and some other panels with it. I like it. The candy colors are outta sight!

Damn, that's small. I can't make it bigger and still post it here. If you want a better view, go to my StarPhoto site. I like the Auto Air stuff. It's more of a micro flake, though...definitely NOT chunk flake. Clean up is nice. Very little/no thinning. Just make sure the stuff is REALLY shook up...I suggest using a stir stick. Let's see your results if you decide to try it!

I am thinking of using this product on my "A". Anyone know if you can shoot an acrilic laquer clear over it?

Auto Air has a video that shows all kinds of paint job possibilities. In that video and their pamplets (sp?) it says Auto Air is compatable with ANY and ALL clears. O.K....now I'm done...I'm starting to sound like a sales rep. http://www.jalopyjournal.com/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/crazy.gif
