i only have experience shooting Glasurit, which i can personally say is crap, HOK which is obviously number 1 for a reason and PPG which i find to come in a close 2nd to HOK.

i cant speak for DuPont or Sherwin Williams because i have zero experience with both of those lines, but i have seen some quality work done with DuPont.

Re: Paint Job

i just did my bike with dupont and i am far from a professional painter and it came out ok. i still have to clear it but not hard to work with. its all about prep work for sure. as i said this was my first attempt at doing anything like a bike and i used this thread to get a round about idea https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/2-s...work+for+paint . hope the place thats doing your bike does it right and it comes out for you.

spraying clear is the hardest part of painting.

That's the truth. There is a very, very fine line between laying it on smooth and running it. Sand paper and buffers are your friend, LMAO.
