Duplicolor Paint Shop.

Yo fellas so I've got My mind set on a body kit and exhaust but I need an opinion. My car is dark green. I want to paint it white or red. I dont want to pay 3000$ either. They say if done right duplicolor looks good. I was thinking about painting my car with this. I Also need an opinion on wheels. Not too expensive but still good quality. Rota? idk. Please no smartass remarks.... thanks.

Sincerely, ChickenDrifter

If you already have the compressor and the paint gun then yea duplicolor comes out really nice. I had a coupe that i painted two tone with it. I would paint your car white if i were you and as for wheels i would go with sportmaxx or xxr wheels. (cheap price, but good for what you pay for).

There has been some posts about this already.... but just to tell you through personal experience IT SCRATCHES VERY EASILY. But on the other hand it also buffs easily, so a $hitty laydown can be wet sanded & buffed smooth. I did a test panel and HATED it, so I figured I'd save the time and effort (and money) for some real paint

I painted my last vehicles rims with black duplicolor spray paint. Threw it in the sandblaster, primer, 3 light coats of black, 3 light coats of clear. Came out amazin. Also i rallied the s*** out of the truck and wheeled it on occasion, paint held up pretty good, no large chips, just like 5-10 little 1cm rock chips on every wheel but you couldnt tell(touch up the black with sharpie :P). Just sold that truck and the paints been on the rims for around 9 months.

Now for my 240, my grandpa has painting supply galore and im using his nice paint gun, building a rough frame out of 2x4 outside and putting thick plastic on the roof and sides. I got a big compressor with a long line for the gun. Hopefully there will be a sunny day here around 60 degrees before winter.

Always remember, the more R&D, the more prep work on the car(sanding, fixing dents, bondo, etc), and take time painting, dont rush anything. If you do that it will probably turn out pretty damn good, even if you rattle can it.

I agree with you man;you can even rattle can it (dont suggest) and it will still come out good

Yeah, if i cant use the gun or cant get the paint, ill probably rattle can my car. I cant wait to get paint on it, the runny grey primer rattle can job it has right now just makes my teeth clench looking at it.

Duplicolor comes out really nice but it does scratch easily....
