Thread: Pro Painters-What paint brands and why?

Tweet

I hear a lot of people talking about the pros and cons of different brands. I thought it would be interesting to get some specifics. (This should make a pretty good reference for beginners, or unhappy consumers.)

Since you are in business, I assume you have used a number of different brands of paint over the years, and you have settled on a system you like.

I'm curious what brands of paint you use, and why? Here are a few questions:

1- What do you use now? primer, sealer, paint, clear?

2- What brands have you quit using, and why?

3- Anything you are using that you intend to replace?

4- Any other tricks or products you would recommend, for bodywork, masking, painting, problem solving, versatile product or tool?

5- How long have you been painting?
