Thinking of painting my SGT myself

[ROSEDOGGYDOG]

What do you think of the Duplicolor Do-it-yourself paint? Anyone try it? I spent some time reading about it. It seems pretty straight forward and theres no mixing involved.
I've been watching their how to videos also: http://www.duplicolor.com/training/index.html

I have a Husky A/C (up to 250lbs I believe) and it says its rated for automotive spray. Is there a certain spray gun that I should use? I got one with the A/C and I'm pretty sure its very basic.

What are your thoughts and opinions?

I plan to do a test paint on my canopy that I have for the truck. I'm wanting to try the Jet black since my truck is already black.

I don't understand. Does Duplicolor have bulk paint available? I didn't know they did.

Or are you thinking of painting your truck with spray-cans?

yeah I hear ya, I see some spots (dings) that need to be corrected. Whats the best way to deal with those? Bondo? Try pulling it?

Yes and No.

I was looking at their paint yesterday in Shucks/Kragen/Checker and have seen them at other stores too. I first found out about it when watch Horsepower TV. Anyways according to the cans they're ready to paint no mixing needed but you can thin it out some more is you choose to. All you need is the strainers and the have different strainers for the primer vs. paint.

It says it dosent need to be thinned but I always thin it about 4:1 and u thin it out with acetone I used it to paint a few of my race bikes
