What paint did you use?
I am planning on spraying my Niva but going to use quick dry enamel.

2k was the choice, was contemplating stone chip (smooth coat) but that would give more of a satin finish which is harder to keep relatively clean

Charles. Qd enamel is not ideal. 2k paint is cheap and can be sanded and buffed to get rid of the respray look. If u realy want enamel go for a long dry supper enamel or a truck and tractor tipe paint. From what i have seen QD paints tend not to last. I work with paint alot but i may be wrong.

I was first considering normal enamel or tractor paint. A local panel beater said to me QD. Will still decide. Going for as cheap as possible.

Charles, depending on your choice of color, 2k sells for +/- R 109-00 p/l , thinners R100-00 p/5l , fast hardner +/- R 84-00 p/l for this you get a decent long term finish, compared to q/d paints which tend to fade very quickly penny wise pound foolish not the way to go, as the amount of prep work is the same either way, just my 2 zim dolla
