I'm going to get my tin work painted pretty soon. I've been checking out some good body shops locally and I noticed a lot of them use one brand exclusively or use a couple various brands.
I am curious if one brand is preferred over others? I realize this question is splitting hairs and it is simply more for my own curiosity. I assume there is more to it than paint and obviously the skill of the painter/body shop will be more of a determining factor.
There is BASF (glasurit), Sikkens, DuPont, House of Kolor, and probbaly a few others I'm missing out.
I want my paint job to literally look like it is really thick, like a custom hot rod. I assume there is probably 3 coats of paint, each wet sanded and about as many coats of clear.
I have not quite fully decided upon my colour scheme but this will be happening pretty darn quick. At least I'm down to a few combinations which is surprising since I'm probably one of the more indecisive people on the planet.
My Roadster is the stock black with gold pinstripes and stickers right now and I'm looking for a nice metallic silver recoat.
