Anyone use this paint?

It's Duplicolor Paint shop. They have a video of them painting a car in a garage. Its pre mixed. Design for the home painter. I think its a lacquer paint. they say you can paint the car then clear it later on. Any paint gurus know anything about this stuff and its pluses and minuses.

It's laquer, if you don't know the downfalls of laquer let me know and i'll explain them to you.

 

Lets hear them I know nothing about paint. or just point me to a website to read it so I don't waste your time writing something.

 

laquer doesn't chemically crosslink, which means it doesn't chemically change or cure, it simply dries, which means that you can spray it on your car, then it dries, it will look shiny, months or years (it depends on the quality of the fluid) later it will lose it's shine, and will start to look choppy, pucker up and look more orange peely than when you sprayed it. this is because when laquer heats up and cools down it expands and contracts at a extremly larger rate than crosslinked fluid does. If you spray a car with urathane whether it's acrylic urathane, or poly urathane once either one is dry the movement the cured paint has is very minimal which means the finish will last waaaay longer. also, you can sand and repaint a cured surface easily. sanding and repainting on top of laquer is kind of like building a house on mud. your house (new paintjob) can be perfect but the mud (laquer) is always moving underneath it so eventually you're going to have a problem. which means to properly repaint a car that has laquer on it the car has to be completely stripped of all laquer products, (primer and paint) which is a really really big ****around. and could cost you a lot of money to have it done properly. If you want to try spraying your car in your garage, get some single stage or single shot urathane (acrylic or poly) and spray your car, it'll be shinier than snot on my black shoes, and if later on you want to try again the paint acts like primer and can be sanded out and resprayed. don't spray laquer on your car you'll just create m***ive problems for yourself down the road. hopefully that gives you some idea??

 

ya that does help. I was looking for something easy to use to paint my car myself and since I don't want to again I don't think that stuff will be very good. I think I will go with a two stage though so If i **** at spraying I can sand it out before its sealed in clear.
Thanks for your help.
