Re: Anybody use 1-Day Paint and Body?

Well one thing that is totally false that I read on there is that they say most shops charge for baking and do most of their paintjobs outside of the booth. Actually most if not all shops prefer baking because of the quickness and when thier in the booth thier is a far less chance of dirt. Dupont paint i've used before and the coverage sucks. you can use more coats then other companies like PPG Deltron 2000 line. Also they offer a 5 year warrenty on the paint, well PPG offers lifetime garentee against wrinkling,shrinking, delamination,peeling. Whats unreal is that they charge almost $600 tosand/buff the dirt out, for that price they better block sand the whole car smooth. But for the price you really can't beat it so it's your choice. But if you do go and do it ask them if they use catalized urethane because that is the good stuff for paint/clears.
