Sorry, I didn't know where else to put this question. I've been noticing the paint on my truck is cracking. It's a 2001 GMC Sonoma ZR2, Black, and has 70k miles. I've always took excellent care of it, but it sits outside 24/7. Ever since I got it it's had nothing but Zaino. However, I have a company vehicle I drive mostly during the week and the truck doesn't get as much attentino as it used to. The paint on the top is horrible, and it's starting to do the same on the top of the fenders. Imagine a flock of birds with sharp claws walking around on the top. The cracks are everywhere, about 1/4" long and very thin. I don't have a digital camera available tonight, so no pics yet. Since the truck sits up so high, I haven't noticed the cracks until this evening.
Anyhow....I have some experience with paint, and I know that if you buy the good paint in a spray can it's pretty much the same paint that the body shop uses. My question is, with proper prep and wetsanding how durable would 2 or 3 coats of black with 2 or 3 coats of clear be? I know I can make it look good, but I don't wanna have to do it again in 6 months. I know I should probably take it and get it repainted, but there's no way that's gonna happen anytime soon and it would look better with a simple coat of Krylon than it does right now. Thanks!
