I'm thinking of using the Dupicolor paint sold in aerosol cans at the paint shop, how much coverage can you expect from the colors?

Hi James,

We have been using the *Truck, Van, and SUV* big cans of Duplicolor lacquer for several years.  I have found them to cover a bit better than dope, usually.  Now I am experimenting with the *Paint Shop* quart cans and spraying them on.  That way I can add a *little* flexative and fish eye killer to it.  I shoot urethane 2 part clear over it, and it has held up excellently.   I haven't found a *down side* yet!  The Paint Shop colors are very limited right now, but they have added a *Metallic Clear* and a *Prism Clear* to use between the color and top coats.  There are 8, IIRC, colors right now, but you can easily mix any color you want!  I have a feeling that a stunter will get the *Prism Clear* before too long!

  i WAS LOOKING AT  PAINT SHOP COLORS AND IT SAID TO THIN WITH ACETONE IF DESIRED . THEY MAKE AND SELL LACQUER THINNER#CM502 , WHY THIN WITH ACETONE         GARY HAJEK

Hi Gary,

I am not sure as to why they recommend Acetone.  The Paint Shop paint is a new *synthetic* lacquer, so I chalked it up to that.  The Lacquer thinner Duplicolor sells is for the Filler/Primer and other *Specialty* paints they have. (according to the label)

Has anybody try to find out if The Paint Shop paint is a new *synthetic* lacquer, is fuel proof?

Hi Larry,

I have not had a problem since I overcoat with either clear dope or, usually, automotive urethane.
I haven't not clear coated in too many years to count...........
