^Ya I agree. Like I said he probably put 8 coats on.
I’ll look into Tamco.
Interested in waterborne but I’ll be painting in cold and humid. So probably not the best option if I want to get er done once.
Not sold on PPG by any means other than I know it’s quality.

My vote goes to Tamco, I am anything but a professional painter (booth is a tarp in the driveway). I have had great luck with their Truck Chassis paint, HP-711 High build epoxy, HP-5311, MonoCoat.

Will be using their products for when I do the body color too. Can't beat their customer service either, Tammy goes above and beyond on making things right and helping everyone find what they need. Had a order with a jar of gold flake that the shipper had destroyed in transit and before I even saw on the tracking that it was damaged by the carrier, Tammy already was preparing to send out the replacement.

Both their 711 and 5311 high building products work great for high building or to be reduced down as a sealer, high solids, great coverage, great price.

I’m leaning towards Tamco for sure. Not one to believe internet reviews so much but if Tamco is not full of ish about their quality components, and the personalized almost crude sounding product descriptions and instructions sound like someone who takes pride in their product, then their products seem like great bang for the buck.
Plus adding up everything I would need, it’s under $1000 for everything and then some.
Seems like an old fashioned business built around quality Products and customer service.
