Does the Dupli-Color stuff need to be baked on?

How well does it hold up?

I'm considering ordering a "paint kit" from American Muscle.

check out CarQuest, if you guys have one in town.

They can mix up a batch of spray paint to match your car's color, I think it looks perfect, heres an example on my roommates mach

The other stuff I looked at, appeared to be a two part epoxy. I should say, I do not drive my car in the winter. I do not know how the paint will hold up with the salt and sand

I've used G2 on my last couple cars and family cars. No issues at all after a good amount of time. Nice self leveling paint. Dries a little glossy. Looks great

I always just use regular spray paint. Comes out perfect everytime and i haven't redone em in years. Still look great.
