After pretty good success at repainting my old utility truck
with acrylic enamal, I'm tempted to try my Spit tub as a DIY
project.
I can't seem to justify the $3000+ quotes I'm getting from
shops - if they can even do the job (or even want to).
I spent weeks sanding, removing whatever was removable and
spent 4 manhours masking the rest. With tutoring from a
friend, applied 3 coats in his garage in only 1 hour.
Seemed easy, and looks good, but not really good enough for
a Spit.
My question is - which is bettter/easier/etc for a DIY
novice with limited facilities - acrylic enamel or acrylic
lacquer. I'm not even considering base, clear coat.
The Spit is in pieces - tub, hood, doors etc, and is all
plastiblasted and undercoated, so I assume most of the work
is already done?
Cheers, Fred
