Does anyone have any experiance using it?what to look out for or expect?I painted my 72 charger with a single stage paint 4 or 5 yrs ago.I don't want to spend that much on paint.Any info? Thanks guys

I wondered if i can wet sand it and polish it. I might have to jusr try it and see what happens.

Available in acrylic enamel, single stage urethane, and Base/clear. They work very well for a fraction of the cost of high line paints. Check them out!!
