Default Anyone use "ACME" paint?

Just curious if anyone has used it and how well it holds up. I'm in the process of painting a 93 Fox and am giving it a try. So far it sprays like the high dollar paints and levels great. I paid like $79.00 for the gallon of Black. Had the hardner and other stuff. This job is gonna cost every bit of $109.00. Heres the nose after it dried.

I love the ACME line. I absolutely love how the clear flows out when it is sprayed.
As far as reliability, we use it at work and haven't had any problems with peeling, cracking, or fading. I sprayed a complete on my Cobra with it and have yet to see any defects or problems.

I used acrylic enamel and it turned out excellent. I will probably need to find a paint booth for the rest of the car though since my garage is a mess.

Haha, I can see that! Did your bumper cover turn out pretty clean?

Beep Beep.

Willie could have bought all the food he needed with what he spent on ACME products.

But then, what else is there to do in the Desert if your not chasing the road runner.
