Has anyone used the $20/qt auto paint from advance auto parts?

Question

I have an old car and I am going to do a paint job and they have some 1 part paint at advance auto parts. I am not doing a lot of body work--I just want my car to look more respectable. Has anyone tried the cheap stuff that I saw at advance? I can do the primer, color and gloss top coat all for under $100. Thanks!

Answer 1

Its not so much the paint but how well you prep

Answer 2

if you prep the surface well it will stay on it we painted one with it,just to get rid of the car,and it came out looking real good,you just have to prep it real good ,its cheap paint keep this in mind when your using it,you get what you pay for these days,good luck.

Answer 3

Another suggestion is to go to a auto paint store and buy a gallon of paint that they mixed wrong. They have a variety of colors. I have paid as little as ten bucks for a gallon. Be sure to tell them that you will buy the reducer and tape from them to help offset their loss.  

Answer 4

Go for it but dont be suprised in a year when your paint starts coming off. But who can blame ya, pro paint jobs and top-of-the-line paint is way too much money in these days.
