Paint recomendations

Just a couple

I thought Eastwood was relabeled Kirker too. What threw me off was the mention of getting Plum Crazy mixed, as Kirker is all premixed colors that are unique to Kirker.

I have a Kirker color chart and they don't seem to have anything close to Plum Crazy in a solid color but do have two metallic that might be close.

Kirker is kind of interesting paint you won't find professional painters using it, but a lot of people get decent results with it. I would be concerned with long term durability of a low cost paint, but, it might work with a good quality clear over it.

I thought the original plum crazy was metallic? I used Nason clear over it because it's a clear I'm familiar with and has decent durability for a lower cost clear. To dress up my old beater truck it worked fine. It's definitely not comparable to ppg concept or global lines or dupnts chroma or mosaic.
