September 9, 201016 yr comment_467258 Acrylic is shit, full stop If you want a cheap back yard job on an old car, rub it with 180-240 dry, prime it, rub it again with 800 wet and use a cheap solid 2pack. If you get runs cut them flat with some 2000 wet and buff the spots back up. Or, rub your car and prime it yourself, then rub your primer and take it to the place near you that will paint it on a saturday for 500 bucks. There's one in most towns. Report

September 9, 201016 yr comment_467261 each paint system has thier merrits. to say one is shit full stop is wrong. on a side note acrylics can have small amounts of hardener added to increase the durability... Report
September 9, 201016 yr comment_467275 Disagree about acrylic being shit. It's simply a different system, used well it can acheive quite good results. Durability is the issue as others have said. I can beat all of that haha, about 20bucks and probably 10cans max i can make your car look good haha I will agree it will make your car "look", but diagree with the "good" part. No car mods repulse me quite as much as an "Aussie Export" hack matte black spray job. Some backyard jobs really look "backyardy" and thats a big reason why. Great results can be acheived at home with care and patience, but when you start with Aussie Export pressure packs your generally off to a bad start. /rant Report

Not digging at you man, i think we all know how to sweep floors and mask up, which is apparently all some REAL apprentices have been doing. I'm an electrician by the way, so yeah one of them 'backyarder' types. Report
