I'm finally starting my DIY car paint (240Z)

[logan1]

i just got tired of pulling stuff of the car and said screw-it; mask it all up.

I would have taken all of that stuff off before I took the glass and everything else off. Color looks good, though.

Looks pretty dam good to me. Cant wait to see it all back together.

Just wondering how you made your decision on primer and paint choices? Did you get advise from a painter or from the paint store? I'm going to be doing the exact same thing your doing but the job of picking the proper paint,primer,clear coat has me intimidated.Just looking for some info. Thanks,Roger

Looking good. Nice choice with Devilbiss. I have been painting as a hobby for almost 7 years now and the gun makes all the difference!!!

Logan's.... If it's within your budget I highly reccomend PPG. I have only used Omni and PPG and PPG blows Omni out of the water. That being said, if the budget is limited, I would use PPG or equivalent for the base coat and Omni for clear. PPG is much better for color matching.

Isn't Omni Made by PPG? Now I'm confused.

I used Omni on my 70' (first paint job I'd ever done, in my garage or at all) And I could have sworn it said PPG on the can.

Am I mistaken or something weird?

Omni is sold by ppg, it is there "buget" brand.

Yup^ It's about 1/2 price. But color matching is really tough with Omni. The clear seems more prone to orange peel from my experience.
