I sprayed mine Sunburst Yellow 4 years ago. It was a stripped down auto-x car with fiberglass fenders and the first time I attempted this level of bodywork. The car didn't need a traditional paint job quality or expense. I was looking for a satin finish so it wouldn't highlight my mistakes. It cost less than $100 for all supplies and paint. The key for any paint job is prep. If your going to go balls out on your prep, then you may as well use an automotive paint since the labor is the biggest expense. I have never waxed the car, and the finish would be fine with a polish. I do consider the Rust-o paint to be slightly softer than traditional automotive paint.
I do believe that there are compatability issues in that you couldn't or would't want to shoot automotive paint over the oil base paint. I am however going to reshoot it in the spring (with the same) when I take care of some bodywork rash and damage. I plan to wet sand the orange peel out of the current finish to help the new coats flow. If it is to be a real nice street car, I'd stay with auto paint. If it is a beater, have fun! ![]() |
