The Following are answers to some of our most frequently asked questions. If you have a question, you don't see addressed here, call us at 848-448-8186.

Q: What additional Auto body supplies do I need to paint my car besides the auto paint?
A: At a minimum, you will need a acrylic reducer. You can purchase this from us by clicking here or from a local auto supplies store. Acrylic Hardener, clear coat and primer may be required depending on the results you are looking to achieve and the condition of your vehicle. See our products description page for specific information on these additional supplies.

Q: What is the mixture ratio with reducer and hardeners on your clear coat?
A: As with all our car paints, the ratio for reducer is 4 to 1, meaning for every 4 oz's of clear or auto paint, add 1 oz of acrylic reducer. If using an acrylic hardener, add 1 oz of hardener to every 8 oz's of clear.

Q: Do I need a clear coat?
A: For show quality results a clear coat is recommended. Keep in mind, acrylic enamel is a gloss paint. Clear coat will enhance the glossy appearance of the color coat. For projects (work trucks, used cars, etc.) where cost is a major concern, buyers may wish to forego purchasing the clear coat.

Q: $35 seems very cheap for a gallon of auto paint. How can you sell it for such a low price?
A: Unlike many supply shops, we deal directly with the manufacturer. By eliminating the middleman, we can sell at prices your local supplier can't.

Q: I've sprayed several cars before, what brand would you compare to?
A: Our customers compare us to brands costing triple our price including Centari, PPG and Dupont.

Q: Do you custom mix colors and do you have other colors available?
A: We do not custom mix colors. We are working on adding colors, when and if they are available, they will be listed on ebay and added to this site.

Q: I have left over supplies from my last car paint job, can I use them with your paint?
A: Generally speaking, any supplies designed specifically for acrylic enamels will work with our automotive paints.

Q: What brand and types of products are compatible with your clear coat and or automotive paints?

Questions about Acrylic lacquer Auto paints

A: Our Acrylic Lacquer Auto paints can be reduced within a range of 4 to 1 to 2 to 1.

Q: What is the flash time on your line of Acrylic Lacquer automotive paints?
A: Flash time on the Acrylic Lacquer auto paints is usually in 15 minutes.

Q: What is the difference between the Acrylic Enamel auto paints and Acrylic LAcquer auto paints?
A: Acrylic lacquer paints have been largely discontinued by most manufacturers. Acrylic Lacquer auto paint, is primarily for antique or classic car restorations, where the highest possible gloss and shine is desired. Acrylic Lacquer auto paints also will not have the durability of acrylic enamels or urethane auto paints. For this reason, we recommend the Acrylic Lacquer paints for garage kept vehicles that see limited use. Our Acrylic enamel auto paints, will have more durability than the Acrylic Lacquers, and will have a slightly less glossier finish. Please also note that buffing out the finished paint job when using Acrylic Lacquer auto paints is required.
