It must be nice to stroll into a store and get what you need. A quirk in the CA law allows private parties to buy solvent based paints but not body shops etc. They are all stuck using the water based stuff.

Ford used Acrylic Enamel. I'm not even sure if that is still available anywhere? The most commonly used now that I see is two step, base/clear coat.

Not here. Dupont is the last brand that I used of it.

It applies differently and required me to concentrate too much. That and the fumes just gave me a headache. It was not easy for me to shoot it. I got runs all over. It was too difficult to determine how much to shoot.

I'm just a one trick pony. Now Acrylic Lacquer, ooo, I'm good at that.  8)

Corporate blue engine paint, using an original sample to match.

It actually sprays really nice.
