I used Rustoleum Stops Rust (non-Professional) Sunburst Yellow when I did my test on a hood. Here is a picture that may give you a sense of how the color comes out:  This picture is after four coats on top of white primer. It is pretty bright but would look nice on a sports car.

I put my first coat of fire red brightside on today and it is looking much better than the rustoleum I tried earlier. I'll attach a couple pictures. It doesn't have full coverage yet, but I can tell that when it does, it will look awesome. I think it is a lot easier to apply then the rustoleum too.

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?

I'm hoping to be able to get some 'painting money' out of the insurance company when they repair my car. If they will go for it then I'm going to try the Interlux Perfection 2-pack paint.

I have read all the 100 pages but I was wondering if someone could take the time to edit out all the garbage and make this a 10 page review with pics of the colors painted on the cars and also a simple summary of the items used.

The best thing to do would be to make a website, Id be happy to put it together if someone would give me the material. The summaries guides are good but miss out on a few points like which grit sandpaper to use and when.

This should be a good starting point, the rest like exit said is to learn by doing!!!!

I'm still working through the middle of this thread and I guess that bightside is in and both types of rustoleum are out?
And an estimate on how much is needed to cover a big ol 1962 Galaxie 500?
Thanks

If you can't get Brightside locally and don't want Blue or red from ebay, you can find them at boatbandit.com. But it's $24.95 a quart, Good/bad price???? Also, the other night I was at my local Home Depot and I saw this:  That was the first I have heard of it. If I remember correctly, it was around $12 a quart. Just throwing it out there.........

I'm sure the Brightside is a good option. There's no doubt that Aussie's work looks amazing. I however am leaning towards the Rustoleum Professional in Gloss black for my project. I did my test panel and I'm pleased with the results. It's not that I can't be swayed into using the Brightside, I'm just not convinced that it will perform better over time than the Rusteleoum. Chargers' projects look great and have held up in the real world under some pretty harsh conditions. At this point there are no long term results of the Brightside option - and that's what is keeping me away from the Brightside option for now.

That's a good price. I work at a boat dealership and our cost for the Brightside stuff is around $21 a quart.
Also, I got ahold of some of this to put onto an old 240SX:
We'll see what happens.
