[TR] Feelings about paint types

[Dave Connitt]

Hi Peter,
I recently finished up painting my TR4A IRS using RM Diamont base coat and 
Limco LC1000 clear coat. I couldn't be happier with the results. I am not 
looking for a "authentic" finish so shiny is good.
The clear coat allows you to color sand and buff the final paint to be 
mirror smooth. If your into that, Base/Clear is the way to go. The single 
stage paints are more for the guy looking for a original finish tends to be 
not as smooth. I agree with one of the other guys who said most painters 
will push to go Base/Clear as that is what they use in the collision repair 
business. The single stage enamels will be much cheaper material wise.
I painted mine myself and so I saved some money on labor but it was still 
about $800.00 or so just in material.
