These are a ready to spray lacquer being sold in automotive chain stores like AutoZone.
I decided to give them a try, so far I am impressed. They go into the spray gun without any mixing. You can thin them some if you want, but it is not necessary. They spray nice, dry in 5 minutes and can be recoated any time.
It appears they take very little work to get to the finished product. I was "two-toning" an already painted vehicle that did not have a clear coat, so I chose not to use their clear and just buff out the color coat. It came out really nice, but the paint went on much thinner than I thought so I am going to spray a few more coats on. The can says you need 2-4 quarts for a full vehicle, but I have already used most of two quarts just to do the center section of a pickup truck all the way around. Looks like I will probably use 4 quarts when all is said and done.
Still, at $22 a quart I should have a nice looking job for around $100.
I don't know if I'm ready to tackle a whole vehicle yet, but this paint seems like it would do a killer job on things like motorcycle tanks and such (at least in my hands).
Anyone else use this, or the whole system start to finish (primer, color, clear)? They even have ways to add metalflake.
