help and options highly needed on single stage

Not sure on the DupliColor. I think I would stay away from it. Napa has descent single stage paint at a good price. A quart should be more than enough to paint just the hood. I am no expert. I have only painted one car in basecoat/clearcoat. It came out fairly good for my first paint job. I picked up several books recommended on this site and read them. I practiced on some old metal I had. Set up my spray pattern like the books showed and just layed it down. It does take skill to get a car show finish. Mine is not:) I did end up with orange peel in the clear and had to wetsand, buff, and polish it out. Never shot single stage, Can't be too hard. Just read alot, practice, and get er done. Good luck.


PS: Inferior equipment will make life hell, If you choose to skimp make sure it's not on the equipment.
