Re: proper paint for a Giulietta

Albert,

I think acrilic enamel is a synonim for a laquer. I've had several cars
painted using acrilic enamel and was very happy with it. It looks
authentic, easily buffed when dull to look like new again, and gives
ceramic like finish. It costs less then a 2-pack urethane paints too.
One thing you need to concider is what kind of paint you have on the car
now. If the old paint is not completely removed before the new paint of
a DIFFERENT type is applied, then you are running a risk of "spider
web", as different types of paint have a different rate of thermal
expansion. You should talk to a reputable painter before taking your car
to a shop. And final piece of advice: in this case, not only do you get
what you pay for, but often you DO NOT get what what you paid for. There
are too many guys out there that cut corners. Find the most reputable
shop, and pay the money to get the job done right.
