For the best answer to your first question, I suggest the following url:

As for your second question, again that would depend on what your painter/body shop has experience with as each paint manufacturer and line as it's own low, mid, and higher grades of paint offerings.


I've seen some truly horrible "high end paint product" paint jobs, have also seen some truly outstanding "low grade paint product" paint jobs...Again it all depends on how good a painter you have on your hands and what he is used to using (product wise)........

I hate to sound like a broken record, but, Bill is dead on again........

Body prep and the painters talent and ability have more do to with a paint job than the actual paint be applied!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

One of the best paint jobs I've ever seen was done on a Cobra by a guy in his back yard under a tree with one of the least expensive paints on the market!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
