I know one-shot is like the ole faithful paint in the pinstriping world but I was curious what other paint some of you guys might be using. I'm aware of the house of color and the custom shop enamels. Besides the noted paint do you guys like any others?

Looks awesome! You should ask over on the SPI forum, some of those guys are artists

SPi is an awesome forum Berry has great advice products and service. I'm going to be using his universal clear on my truck and mustang.

Yeah he's a great guy and business owner. I just got done painting my Lightning's front frame and lots of small parts with Epoxy. Love that stuff.

That one guy Jim C, has done some fabulous custom work. You should look up the thread where he painted a metal door to look like wood. It was amazing, and the bikes and stuff he does are pretty spectacular.

That's awesome I know who you are talking about me and him have chatted on that forum. Me instructor at the community college also knows him. My instructor is a custom painter he owned a custom shop for 40 years I beleive it was. A lot of cool things you can do. Have you by chance used the SPI clear yet?

I haven't tried the clear yet, I will probably paint my Lightning with their black BC and clear, but got to get all the mechanicals worked out first.

I realize this isnt mustang related but i thought id share. Mainly to help people learn about custom painting. Ask all the questions you want. This my latest thing I've painted pretty fun. I painted it for a guy I work with. I am really happy the way the clear turned out. You really have to be out side to be able to see the skull on front. Not my favorite design but the guy loves the thing. Because I made it exactly how he wanted it. And as a props his wife likes it as well. Lol
