[$50.00 paintjob…edited, condenced and spellchecked](http://board.moparts.org/ubbthreads/showflat.php?Cat=0&Board=QuestionAnswer&Number=2348049&fpart=1&PHPSESSID=aab68f8fe95a7508a93ec07bbb2de5a6)

[Someone who tried it from Club4AG](http://forums.club4ag.com/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=133867)

Since my car’s paint is beat I might try this when the weather gets nicer. From the little bit I have read about this so far it seems to work very well for what it is.

Thought some other beaters here might be interested in this as well.

Hmm… I wonder if I can get away with that with the metalic paint I have. Given the translucent nature of it I’d say no.

uh, yea i kinda figured that. :captain obvious: but…i thought this discussion was about **_paint_** and not **_beer._** and by the way Xander made this sig. so if there is a prob with it he may have to stomp you with his WOODEN shoes.

Well since we are now making attacks on cars…,

**YOUR CAR IS NOT A FERRARI AND HAS NEVER BEEN KNOW AS ONE.**

But since you know everything Mr. “i run a paint shop”. What kind of budget should be put into a paint job that is probably going to end up on some one else’s fender?
