Restoration Shop - Jet Black (Gloss) Acrylic Urethane Auto Paint - Complete Gallon Paint Kit - Professional Single Stage High Gloss Automotive, Car, Truck Coating, 4:1 Mix Ratio, 2.8 VOC

I am a first timer on painting a veh. The paint and body shop wanted $3000.00 dollars to paint my truck there was no body work that needed to be done by watching U tube i did it myself and I am pleased to say i think i did a good job except for the right rear quarter panel i got a little to close to the body and i over sprayed a little section other than that i like what i did and the paint was not hard to work with

Sprays nice but may need a little reducer. Turn fluid volume lower and keep wet.

This paint fish eyed over the primer sealer I previously applied even after wiping the surface down with grease and wax remover. I red other reviews stating that this paint creates heavy orange peel. The second time I painted with some of the remaining gallon. I used restoration shop sealer . Then added respiration shop medium reducer to prevent orange peel. I applied the paint over that. More fish eyes.😆 I was able to spray a dry mist coat over the fish eyed surface. Let it tack up. The flooded paint over the horizontal surfaces. And a heavy coat over the vertical surfaces. The horizontal surfaces turned out ok but the vertical surfaces had orange peel. I won’t be using any Restoration Shop products again.

You get what you pay for with this. It isn't necessarily "bad" paint, but I wouldn't use it on anything I cared about, personally.1.) It's really tough to tune the gun with this paint, you get either a huge wet gush or such a light mist you'd spend hours trying to get 1 even coat. This was with the exact mix ratio recommended. I did add about 1/2 a part of thinner which seemed to help, but it still goes on pretty thick.2.) Orange peel city. 2 projects, 2 independent guns, same result. If you're looking for a paint you can be a little careless with, this is it, because you're getting orange peel regardless.3. Ridiculous dry times (likely from how thick it is). Typically give about an hour between coats, but with this I had to do 2-3 & it'd still be pretty wet.

The coverage is exceptional. The gloss is very good. The only issue I have is the dry time is very long. Was expecting the paint to be dry in an hour it took several hours to be dry to touch. Since I am not using a booth that is a lot of time for something to contaminate the paint. Adding heat to speed up the drying caused it to loose the shine

You will 100% have orange peel. Followed the mixing directions and the paint still turned out bad. It’s definitely glossy but had thousands of pock marks. I ended up going to a local paint shop and paid $230 for a gallon, I did the same exact steps I did before with the Amazon paint and it turned out perfect. No clue what went wrong, I’m not asking for a refund, I’ll let it be a life lesson but I’d definitely go with another brand for anyone who’s thinking about buying this Amazon paint.

Orange peel city, followed the spec sheet mixed right, couldn't get it to lay down smooth. In my opinion there are better products out there for the money. This paint is not terrible it's just not as good as some of the other brands I've used....

Both paint & hardner cane damaged.
