What brand of paint is best for a paint job?

Personally, DuPont.

Sprays easy, a LOT easier to get a paint match than PPG if you ask me, and that chroma system....wow, some nice colors there.

DuPont if you want to save a couple of bucks, or House of Kolors if you want to go all out.

Interesting.....a lot of shops around town we've switched from House of Kolors and PPG to DuPont Chroma.

These are custom shops also, as well as standard repair.

You guys have gotta look at a paint chip for DuPont Chromacolor or the Hot Hues.....talk about nice.

I guess it really depends on who's spraying it. I know some painters prefer to use a certain brand but as far as best paint brands I would go with what everyone else is saying so far.

I just had my car painted but I used Matrix paint (still a very good paint). I checked out the prices for the Dupont and PPG but it was a little out of my price range. The Matrix paint cost me $600 for the base, clear, hardener, and reducers.

You can see some pictures of my new paint job here. http://www.saturnspot.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=21246

I like the colors available from Dupont. I have only heard great things about HOK and how it is durable.
