I need advice on paint products

[1993SSP]

I have a 86 project, I have a guy ready to do the body and paint on it. My question is what's the best bang for the buck?? I plan on keeping the car, it is gonna be black. I want something that is gonna last but is reasonable on cost. I have heard good things about transtar products, dupont nason and of course PPG.

Throw out your ideas to me.... Just keep a budget in mind

how much do you have to spend? that makes a big difference

I would like to get by as cheap as possible, I would like to get it done for $500 to $600 in materials including primer, base and clear

I have used the dupont/nason products the last 5 years on my own vechiles and customer cars. I have had no problems and good durability.

Buy Nason products. I usually go Dupont paint and Nason clear, but buying both in Nason will save you some money.

A single stage paint would save money over buying bc/cc. That paint is harder than bc/cc as well, so it will resist rock chips.

I had tossed the idea of doing single stage, but decided not to. Does the nason base cover good?? I don't think it should matter too much since it's black

It covers pretty well I seal all of my stuff first.

Ask your paint and body guy.

Nason products are a line from Dupont. The paint and clear is fine. All I've ever used is Nason clear. My supplier told me the Dupont is supposed to shine more, but it is more money, and I can't imagine anything shining more than Nason. This is Nason clear.

Friends GT I painted using Dupont black and Nason clear. 4 coats of paint, 3 coats of clear.

Was.

The nason clear has nice shine and is durable, it may not have quite the DOI of some of the high end paints.
