I'm basically an amateur painter. Have maybe a dozen over the years in my garage with an old Craftsman one horse compressor. Anyway the ladt time I painted my '55 was in 1991. The lighter blue I did in Dupont lacquer back then with 3 coats of clear lacquer over it. Well after about 10 year or so it started cracking here and there. So last May I decided to take the lighter blue down to bare metal and start from scratch. I had learned about the SPI products and decided to use the epoxy primer as well as the high build 2K primer. Very pleased with both those products. Ended up calling Barry several times and getting excellent advice. What a great guy to talk to. I learned a ton from him. I would have gotten the SPI Universal clear but already had purchased PPG Deltron DCU 2021. Finally finished painting May of this year after all the hours and hours of prep work. And I must say I am quite pleased with how it came out. Hardly any dust and NO BUGS !!
