The paints I discribed on my response are very good quality coatings. Many in this forum are closed to the thought that a brand other than PPG could possibly yeild a good or even a great paint job. I drive an Astro van painted with Omni in 1999 and it still looks great. The only reason I suggest these paints are that they are more forgiving in less than disireable conditions. Believe me I have painted in some real hell holes and achieved unbelievable results. From the sound of your thread I get the feeling that you are not a full time painter. So, if you want a coating that is of good quality and is USER FRIENDLY try one of the ones I suggested. By the way Mars Red is a very good choice.
