      Has anyone used this paint?

      My car is just a daily driver and I'm painting it myself at home. I like the Satin look, so I'm going for it.

      If anyone has any information or heads up regarding acrylic enamel paint, please share. All input is greatly appreciated. Thank you

      I have never used that paint specifically. I do however have a ton of experience with low glass paints, I use PPG products.

      There are a couple things to know for complete success. The first, when spraying the first coat make sure it is nice and even medium wet coat. That first coat must dry down to the low glass you are looking for before the second coat is applied. If there is any shiny spots anywhere when the second coat is applied then it will show up in the end result is a blotch or stripe.

      The single stage is the easiest to apply, but the better finish for durability would be a base/clear using a matte clear. The reason, in a single stage matte finish there is obviously pigment on the surface. This can and will lead to potential staining, water spots or things like that. Its shouldn't be a terrible thing, but there is much more potential for it to happen.

      Good luck

      I can tell you this about old school acrylic enamel paints for outdoor use. About the same thing you'd get in a spray can from rust oleum etc. durability when exposed to sunlight is low.
      With matte clears, even spraying is more important to not have tiger striping. Also may take a day or more of drying time to see final gloss level settle in. Also thoroughly stir the hell out of it before pouring. The flattner mixed in quickly settles.



      Also, I'd definitely agree with Glenn on matte clear being the most durable option. I use SPI's premixed Matte clear on wood & fiberglass entrance doors at work after staining. There products are one of the best for quality for the money. That being said though, if you want to do any sort of a proper paint job, cost will still add up even with good priced quality products.
