Since I stumbled onto this post I've been jumping out of my pants with excitement about being able to get a "maaco" quality or even better paint job on my own for less than $100.
I've seen the consensus change from rustoleum to brightside paint and have come to understand the importance of good prep work, skilled wet sanding and proper buffing and polishing.

I have a couple questions about painting my big ol '62 galaxie. How much paint would be needed to cover a car of such proportions?

Also, I notice that interluxe makes a 2 part poly paint, actually a couple of them. These 2 part poly paints are supposed to be a step above the brightside paint that they make. Sooo...has anyone used this paint? Is it worth tying or is there little improvement over brightside. The interluxe site says more gloss retention over time and more protection over time than brightside.

Any thoughts?
