This is for a friend of mine that I am on the same mailing list with. I told Him I would post his email with his questions. So could you please help him out. Thanks
""I have been doing a lot of looking for body shops so I could get the
Rally painted before bad weather sets in and makes the body worse.
I have found that body work and painting is expensive, thankfully I have
some experience in painting(not much) and think I can do it myself. I
was thinking of doing a custom paint job with a fade, scallops, or even
flames, but I just dont trust my pinstriping skills.
Anyway upon looking for the "perfect paint shop" with miracle prices
I saw a truck one of them was working on that had the most beautiful
paint job I have ever seen, so I was talking with the guy about how he
got the truck to change colors. I figuired he used multiple coats with
many shades of pearls mixed in here and there, and was really surprised
to find out that he just opened the paint, stirred it and sprayed.
Turned out he was the owner and not the painter and I couldnt ask any
technical questions.
Its called chromalusion made by dupont. I hope some of you have seen
this in person, its beautiful! So I thought cool, I will paint it with
this color, and wont have to do anything radical cause the paint is
"custom'" enough. But then, I got the price, almost 600 bux a
quart!!!!!!!
So I left with saying no more, but now that I think about it, I
could probably get some cheaper through some favors and good hook ups.
So my quesions are if any of you have worked with this paint? I
wonder if you have to use a special gun, or do any extra prep work.
Does is cover blemishes, like white paint, or multiply them like black
paint? Would one quart do it? I usually buy a gallon for a car and
have a lot left over, so I dont know how far I could stretch it.
If any one has some experience please let me know, I'm telling ya, its
the most amazing paint I have ever seen!""
