Re: paint for my car body

Auto paint comes in multiple types. Enamels, Acrylic-lacquer, Acrylic urethane, and so on. I hate enamels. I have never painted a real auto with enamels and never will. Enamel never cures. It continues to cure over long period of time. Also if you apply a lacquer over an enamel you are in for a big problem.

The problem with just picking up auto paints at Wally World is they have varied types and do not say which is which. If you get an enamel base, and get a lacquer clear the enamel will cringe and your paint job is screwed up.
