Tidus you're a moron!!! How would you know , you never sprayed before. There are much better paints for the money, like dupont. I Have been using it for about 4 years now and love it, very affordable and great quality. My old eclipse and my rx7 were both painted with dupont. There is a parts store near me call Allied Auto Parts, not sure if you have one near you but they carry the paint. Just do some research around your area, there should be a auto store or two that sells automotive paints. Most of the time they have massive color books with chips for you to look at and pick and mix colors too. Most of the time its more important on the spray gun you have and the prep, well wait it is important!!!! Get those perfect and the paint will come out awsome.

My point is that HOK is big bucks and not worth the money. None of us are pro's, and you are bound to **** up.

I have painted cars for about 13 years or longer, and I use mostly DuPont, and also Martin Senour. Of course I havent done that many custom jobs but I certainly have done alot of overalls and repair work.
