i posted this topic on here like a year ago with little response so i am gonna try again. has anyone actually shot restoration shop or kustom shop paint or had it on their car for a long period of time? please keep the you get what you pay for trash talk to yourself if you have not actually sprayed it, i have read a 100 posts around online that are bashing it but none of those people have ever sprayed it. i know you get what you pay for but i dont think i need to support a nascar team with my paint purchase.... i want to hear from someone who has actually sprayed it and can maybe compare the quality to other brands. i am not building a 100k show car but i want my paint to look good. i read that they use valspar pigments and from the people i have actually heard of spraying it have liked it but they are all amatures (like me) so they could not compare to other brands. it looks like i can buy 4 quarts of burgundy and a quart of silver, clear and all my harders and reducers for under 300 or less which i can afford, i cant afford to drop a grand on paint right now. there is also the eastwood and summit paint but i figured out that is just relabeled kirker which is even cheaper but i have read some bad things on their paint.
 
I just sprayed some of it yesterday on a bumper cover I painted for a friend, but it was just lacquer not bc/cc, since we went the ultra cheap route.
I'm curious to see how it holds up.
 
I used their paint on my GP/ GTO, and I loved it (check out my album). Looks way better than $200.00 worth of paint should. Paint is over a year old and the only issues with it are because we painted it in a tent. I have not seen any issues I would attribute to the paint yet. Besides, even if it does have issues with longevity that have not shown out for me yet, for the cost I will just repaint it. I figure for +/- $200.00, I can repaint it every couple of years and change the color whenever I feel like it. You can't do that with a $5,000 paint job.
