Anyone ever try auto zones duplicator already mixed quart paint@ $25 a quart it's a deal,but is it any good,,have to paint tank and 2fenders

I recently used the primer but not the paint !  I use auto paint from an auto body supply and things are not getting any cheaper. $ 89 for a quart of clear.it is worth a shot.  See if it pre thinned for spraying. The primer was so it doesn't go as far. A quart of unthinned would cover twice as much but then you need to buy thinner. I do anyway to clean the gun

The duplicolor paint doesn't cover to well. Thinning it makes it worse. Your best bet is to try your local paint station. The guy we get our paint from is pretty cheap. Try to see if they have a cheaper paint matrix is pretty good and cheaper my candy colors where 26.00 a pint a lot cheaper than house of color. Single stage is another cheaper way to paint. I just think you might be disappointed in the duplicolor. But that is my experience with it.

You dont add thinner to the duplicolor system,its pre-thinned and ready to shoot out of the can
