    I was watching the TV show” Muscle Car” today and they did a quickie paint job on a Mustang using Duplicolor paint—-Maybe it was just me but i thought it looked terrible —No depth, lots of texture, lack of gloss—I know this was done very quickly and not a high end paint job but it was very poor IMO–

    I saw that too,it was pretty sad 😡 They would have been better off using U-tech,nason,or omni, but instead they used some watered down low quality lacquer,not even close to the real lacquer used back in the day.These shows have all turned into an advertising plug,pretty soon vince from shamwow,and dollars for gold Anthony Sullivan will be hosting horsepower,musclecar,and trucks :stoned On the other hand that big old ford dually that was painted with summit paint looked ok,but who knows what it looked like in person 😛

    Yes that Mustang turned out horrible. Hate to think how bad it looked in person. I consider it a marketing failure. Showed first hand how crappy that stuff is.

    On the other hand that dually with the summit paint surprised me. Looked like it covered nice and laid down decent. :pcorn:

    Yeah, that thing turned out horrible. Can’t believe duplicolor let them air it. And to be honest they probably didn’t save nearly enough money for that end result
