The car hobby is expensive. I've been in it for 50 plus years. I've alway had to do it with a limited budget. As the years go buy the cost get higher, you all know that. I need to paint my 62 Plymouth. Called today to get prices on paint...the prices they told me are not in my budget ( not even close ! )..As much a I would like to use a Factory color. I may need to look at other options , at a lower price point. I have been looking at Summit Racing paint colors (no they are not factory colors..I may have to accept that ). And as much as I prefer a factory color, I guess some of those summit colors may be close enough for the general color concept.
Can any of you tell me you opinion oy Summit paint. How well does it hold up ? Or maybe you guys can tell me of other brands of budget paint that might be of better quality. There is just no way I can spend $250-$400 a gallon for paint , plus clear, plus all the other needed items, to paint a complete car, engine bay and door jambs...I have no real brand prefferance. Base coat..or even single stage. The car is parked inside 99% of the time
