Re: [Amc-list] What type of cheap paint?

[Matt Haas <mhaas@xxxxxxx>]

I'll have to agree with DupliColor as well. Their paint is really good 
stuff. Pay attention to prep details and make sure you apply enough 
coats to give good film thickness. I painted the driver's side rocker on 
my 68 American with that brand of paint a couple weeks before the last 
Kenosha show and ended up driving through lots of loose gravel road 
through Chicago and it came through without a single scratch.
