personal preference. I like dupont best. Imron has the best lasting finish.. and if you don't wait to long to wetsand/buff... it isn't to bad to color sand. I will do chroma base and imron clear on my next project. You can't beat there durability. I only have experiance with ppg in enamal. Sprayed good. but don't know about durability in a daily driver.

never sprayed enamel ppg.... just base and clear. never have to wetsand as it lays down slick as glass. most of the time when painting customer cars, I have to lay the clear kind of dry to match the factory orange peel. PPG offers a lifetime warranty for any of their products, cant go wrong IMO, but to each his own.

Got the cab painted and put all back together. its back off to the off road shop to get the engine put back in, then it comes back So the paint job can be finished. Its just primered now, the jambs and back of the cab and front of the bed are done.

The doors, fenders, and bed are all just black primer. the cab, under hood, door jambs, rockers and front of bed are painted gloss black. So I can paint everything with the doors shut and the bed on it.
