What do you guys think of the duplicolor paintshop paint that is sold at autozone/advance auto. I tested it out today and i think it turn out pretty good. i think it will make my dd a lot more presentable instead of primer grey.
more pics and some in the daylight is needed plz

we sell a ton of it at my work, great feedback on it too.
Duplicolor is the only brand I use with aerosol cans, I stopped buying paint at Walmart and autozone because they stopped carrying it
Ya I sold it alot at Oreillys and for what it costs people love it. No flash time, and premixed If I remember correctly
I'll get some more soon this was a test to see how it would spray and lay. It was a little cloudy when I took the picture. I'll take some pictures of the car before and after.
I'd like to see more of this please, that is a gorgeous color.
Looks great. They say it's all in the prep work
Hopefully it doesn't fall or chip off.

my front bumper was painted with duplicolor primer, paint and clear coat and it lasted over 3 years, it also sat in the backyard of someones house in hot and rainy florida for a year and was crushed multiple times by other car parts and thrown around a lot....point being the paint was still in tact lol.
3 months after i painted the front bumper:
After 3 years including a year of sitting in a back yard being rained on, crushed by other car parts and sitting in the Florida summer sun:
Hope this helps
Looks good in the pics. Few fitment issues, but nothing that cant be fixed. Does this stuff require a clearcoat?
They sell clear coat. I guess it is up to the person painting. I did use the clear coat. I need to sand and buff it and see if it will shine up better. I front bumper needs some adjusting to lift it up a little so the head light sit flush.
is this spray paint in a can??? like spray bombed??? If so thats a great looking paint job for a spray bomb
No its not a spray can. They sell it in quarts to be used in a spray gun. I did however mixed all of the cans of blue together just in case there was a difference in color.
I've used it once to paint a hood. Came out pretty good. I have a can of red on the bench I plan to test to see how close to the factory red. It is a base coat clear coat system so it technically does require the clear for protection. They also have a primer as well.

the can says you HAVE to use clear. I've considered using this exact paint but not sure if i will or not yet.

i have sprayed a couple cars with the paintshop line. and must say that the base coats are fine.. havent had a problem with them.,. but the clear coat sucks.. it doesnt flow out very well and is very hard to keep looking wet.. i say use the base and spend a bit more and get some decent clear coat.. turns out great
