Looking for personal-use recommendations on budget paint. I want to stay close to the oem color--a very dark blue metallic BC/CC--1982 300SD.
I have stripped the failing clear coat, and am doing the final wet sanding with a long board. I plan to shoot a sealer before the BC/CC.

Omni AU. Positive there will be other opinions, but this has worked real well for me in the Price v Quality game.

I've used nason and have been happy. I did very well with a solid color, but painting metallic is a bear of a job.

Calling all paint experts - is this a good idea? "paint and cure", good answers.
