I do not paint cars for a living so take this with a grain of salt. That said I've painted 4 cars in my life. I do not have a professional paint booth. Between that and probably my inexperience I've had to rub out cars I painted. I'd have to say that's probably the experience most back yard painters end up doing as well that is if they want it to look really good anyway. But that's why I like this paint and will use it again. Other brands of paint I've used were a pain to rub out. This stuff was great in that within a few days it would DA and then rub out with just one grit of compound and it looks stunning. I've had other paint two weeks later it would still have a 'haze' to it it just wouldn't shine up. This stuff worked great. I used 1000 paper then a foam pad and 3M compound and done. Looked fantastic. Perhaps other paints lend themselves to simply spray and done but if your a back yard do it yourself painter I would highly recommend this as it rubs out easy and looks great. It's almost a relief to just know you plan on rubbing it out than trying so hard to get everything perfect because there's a very good chance your get one spot too heavy and run while another spot might be lean or some dust or something in the paint. No big deal if you're rubbing it out. I did do 2 sessions.. aka 4 total coats. One session then a weekend later the next. Had I not done so it probably would have been a bit thin to rub in a few spot. Make sure you use a really good sealer. I sprayed at 70 degrees used medium reducer and the hardener. I used a bit more reducer on the second coat. FYI I didn't have a single 'fish eye' and orange peel was minimal which is why it didn't take too long to rub out. Good luck.

I love the way my truck looks i did the painting my self really good paint easy spray. My truck looks new the paint is really nice thank you.

Package showed up damaged and leaking from UPS. I rejected the shipment and TCP Global was very helpful and informative during the process. I was shipped a replacement kit at no cost to me and got it in only days after reported. It was a great product as well. Paint applied and held up nicely other than our gun causing a little orange peel. Would recommend their products to the next guy.

It states mix 8 to 1. Not even close more like 4 to 1 plus 2 or 3 parts reducer which they say in an option.It state sand using 150 to 300 grit paper. If you do scratches will show. I recommend 400 wet or dry, comes out smooth. you can and should look at YOU TUBE video on this product.I painted my car using these directions.

Was greatly satisfied with how this paint was to work with. Went on nice and looked very good when I was done. Price was half what I was paying at the local paint store. Will buy again.

I have been using TCP for 11 years and I found that the quality has always been very good. I found its better to have very good, or pay 250.00 for excellent. Being that using this paint, it can come out perfect. The instructions to mix and shoot are very easy to understand. The temp ranges I have shot at, have made the luster better than before, with the more experience I gained. I have no complaints. Be sure to ask questions when your going to prep and shoot, for these folks have a lot of good information. Dboy

Honestly was very Cautious cautiouswith this product because I order the metallic last time and the paint was bad causing bad orange peel and other issues so I got this maroon high gloss it came out like glass I was mixing 8:1:1 with reducer and spraying at about 30-34 psi at about 78 degrees a bit to warm but it worked some orange peel but not like last time wet sanding the whole truck anyway. 1994 Silverado z71 (Took my 2 gallons)
