Hmmm, I tried that with Omni and a month later it was still tacky !!

I use PPG Omni single stage for all the parts you describe - engine, trans, suspension, etc.. I prime with epoxy primer. I do all this stuff with either of the two cheapo Harbor Freight guns. Cleanup is the worst part.

Parts that are not prone to seeing any damage are done with rattle cans, seat brackets, pedal mechanisms, etc.


you don't HAVE to use catalyst in ACRYLIC enamel. it will dry but it won't be as durable or hold a high gloss shine without catalyst.
you HAVE to use a catalyst in URETHANE enamel.
these are both single stage paints from PPG omni.
omni type MAE acrylic enamel you can get away without catalyst.
onmi MTK acrylic urethane enamel you HAVE to use catalyst.
