Default RE: Paint jobs help and advice

I'm going to put in a couple links to hobby paint systems for Nitro boats. These are harder to choose the proper paints for, and the brands/types available are very limited. Nelson, Klass Kote, and Automotive.

[link=http://www.nelsonhobby.com/paint.html]Water-Based Nelson Paint - 50% Fuel Proof[/link]

Brush or Spray use. Water clean-up. Great range of Primary and Secondary gloss colors. Good gloss as is, but they offer a wet look clear coat. Does not yellow. Lightweight, may scratch or scuff.

One Pint of color, ready to use: $22.95

Does not include cross-linker for 100% fuel proof. No thinners needed, just tap water. No special shipping costs.


[link=http://www.klasskote.com/]Two-Part Epoxy Based Klass Kote Paint - 100% Fuel Proof[/link]

Brush or Spray use. Solvent clean-up. Mostly high gloss Primary colors. Does not require a clear coat, however clear is offered. Slight yellowing over time. Heavyweight, very durable.

One Pint of color, ready to use: $27.43

Does not include Reducer or cleaning solvents. Hazardous shipping charges apply.

I added descriptions and prices after Misshydro's post on automotive paints below.
