Paint Types

Q: Paint Types

What type of paint should I use to paint my Firebird? I know I should not use the original type (even if available), but I want it to look original and take advantage of technology gains.

A: I painted my own to but I used acrylic enamel it sprays great and with some color sanding and buffing when I was finished it really SHINES!! So far it has held up great and I have had it on the car for about a year now. Stay away from paint with metallic flakes in it until you really have a good hand on painting {learned this the hard way} and use a good paint like ppg or sherwin Williams and you will be fine.
