      If you can do all the work relatively together take a good long look at NAPAs Tec/Base system, and pretty much any collor is doable in a garage. Now if you are looking int osuper custok stuff look at House of Kolor.
      also if you have dealer around NAPA is same as Sherwin-Williams.
      2 others that i like in small areas are RM/Ditzler and PPG.
      Havent had any good luck with anything from Dupont and got several lame excuses from Dupont Rep,, and my uncle likes using Dupont stuff.
      But he was the one who taught me to shoot Tec/Base.
      Shoot the color for uniform coverage and then do your clear coat. I prefer the high solids clear overthe regualr stuff. My first qt/gal of top coat of clear I always added some of the base color too especially on the bottom of the body. Gave the owners something to protect the finish some. Most chips would touch up with paint brush and sand/buff out a lot better.

      wondering what kinda problems you had with dupont? and is the tec/base stuff some type of single stage paint? I know if you added base coat to the clear with dupont you wouldnt be happy with the results if that is what you are doing. I have never heard of anybody trying that one before maybe single stage and clear but not base coat. It would dye back and cause color issues among other probs.
