Anyone reccomend a good alternative?

Yeah that shit looks shit to tell you the truth... Spend the money and do it properly..

If you ask a question on here and someone who knows what they are doing answers you, take there advice.. This is what I do for a living.. Dont use cheap shit or you will be doing it again a few years down the track.

In australia the sun can kill a paint job in a year.... Alot of the cheap paints dont have a UV rating, that is the paint will fade very fast and then delaminate or peal. I see it all the time. I have to do alot of rectifications on this..

I fix family and friends cars all the time aswell but I will refuse to do the job if they want cheap products. They tell there mates that I did it and look how good it looks, they then refer me and then a year later their paint turns to shit.. I then look shit.

To give you an idea the glasourite 4ltr clear kit over here costs $400.. That stuff linked cost $100 I have never used it but I have seen it and it was under the bench for the tightest of tight customers who are selling their cars anyway jobs..

You cannot take short cuts in prepping and painting cars...

This is my mates Corvette im building, I have put around 120 hours alone in the bonnet and probabaly more then 300 hours on the body, and the car still isnt ready for paint. The car is fibreglass and was as ripply as a boat. "WAS". It is now 100% gun barrel strait. This shows just how difficult and time consuming it can be. However I am a perfectionist and the car is a custom job and I am building it to show off my skills so people know what im capable of.

If its to good to be true it ususally is. Paint is the same.
