Been all through the various threads about paint. No mention on the specific type of paint to use. Is this just personal preference or does one work better than others? Is it just a color match issue? Single stage seems the way to go, and I am looking into ChromaOne, but the stuff is pricey to say the least. Dupont also makes Nason. Getting close to painting the old buggy so it can go back together. Rebuild for trail/off-road purposes. Not a concours special. Want paint to last because of extreme desert heat, and, quite frankly, I don't want to paint it again. Galvanized stuff and a couple of new body panels require a spray. Gonna redo the whole deal.

Also, any one have luck with HVLP turbine systems?

I used to work at a big truck repair shop (moving vans, postal trucks, semi's, trailers, etc.) and we used the DuPont Nason a LOT.

Good paint costs good money.
I'm a fan of Diamont UNO. Glasurit 21 was the best paint (single stage) I've ever used. 22 line Glasurit is pretty good too.
Don't skimp. If you want a nice truck buy good paint.
