So, on a budget eh?
Well, so was I when I decided to venture into Carquest and purchase a pint of Metallic Silver paint. Dupont was 99 bucks and Nason was 30. Well, given it was a bumper job, I chose the lesser. Good thing it paid off but I learned very quickly that you DO get what you pay for when it comes to just about anything.
Nason paint was lacking in solids period. I noticed immediately when opening the can. I already knew that I needed less reducer and a hardener would have been a good idea but managed to save a few bucks with just the base and reducer. I had to apply more coats than usual to cover a primed area and let me tell you, I was getting nervous. After many coats later, I got what I needed from it but boy, it was nerve wrecking.
So, I give Nason paint a primarily score of 3 out of 5, (subject to change with further experimentation).
Tips:
1. Reduce wisely
2. Flash times are fast
3. More coats may be needed vs. other paints, i.e. Dupont and PPG
4. Hardener wasn't used this time and don't think it would have helped much in this setting
How was your experience with Nason? Do tell :)
