I did some research on the brands that you suggested that were better than transtar and they are said to hold up for no longer than 5 years! So I will go with PPG I guess. Why do they only sell them in stores and not online, I hate having to talk to people at stores because I always think they are going to take advantage of me because I don't have experience in this industry. How much paint is needed to do a Pickup, a SUV, and a Mustang? being 3 coats of primer 3 coats of color and 3 coats of clear? Would i need a gallon or more? my auto collision teacher told its like 3 pints of paint and a gallon of clear and the primer depends but usually under a gallon per car but I don't know how much I can trust him because hes been wrong about some things in the past.
