I should add i dont have a lot of patience either , i sum times take a hood or similar in too my bodyshop buddy and have them get it ready for paint. what i was tryin to say was it takes a lot of time and effort to get a smooth and even surface ready for paint, but no matter how good you lay down the paint if you have a rough, curvy or pitted surface you will still have that after you paint

I have used napa paints before and I like them. I shot a few different colors of the single stage acrylic urethane and I liked them. They are definatly not "show quality" paints but for painting tractors or old trucks they worked great for me. But remember they don't last as long as base coat clear coat paint jobs. I painted a 83 dodge pick-up, a small case tractor, a wheel horse GT, and a old hyster forklift with napa paints. Best advice I can say is to read up on the paint your going to buy and see what primers and sealers they recommend. Certain paints will only adhere to certain primers/ sealers etc. When I painted my old dodge I shot it charcoal gray and had to spray it with a sealer because I didn't take it down to bare metal. I also painted a cub for someone with the valspar paint from TSC. I didn't add any hardener to the paint just naptha thinner and it came out pretty nice.
One more thing you probably already know but acyrlic urethane (all paints really) is some nasty stuff. Get a decent respirator

I have used PPG urethane a few times with excellent results. PPG's web site showed PPG distributors in Pueblo, Lamar, and Trinidad to name a few in your part of the state.

Question...does anyone ever use Ago's Acrylic Enamel "Corporate Orange" that they sell by the Quarts & Gallons. If you use a good primer is this paint any good?

Machine Supply Company, 201 N 2nd Street Lamar, can't guarantee if they retail paint or if it's more an industrial supply outfit but give it a shot
