Default User friendly aircraft paint.

Hi all,
I am painting my own car and was worried about the risks (blowing yourself up etc.) I searched and searched the web and found this aircraft paint. I have talked with the folks there and they are very helpfull. They have 30 or so pre mixed colors but will try to match any color you send em. I will be shooting my car this spring and will give a review.

Be careful of aircraft poly paint as once they become atomized the airborne particulates are nasty things that is,once they go into your lungs they dont exit. I am speaking of the paints that I have used at three major airlines in which I have worked and painted for. When they were sprayed we wore a forced air respirator and had lots of air movement. I am not suggesting these are the same but do yourself a favor and check into the safety side of this paint. The poly paint brands that I have used were Sherwin Williams and Azko-Nobell. when dried they are darn near bullet proof. Have fun and good luck.

You must live in California if you want to paint you Mustang with enviro-safe aircraft paint.

Hey, I've shot a lot of paint as an amatuer and earned money part time years ago in college in a body shop. What's wrong with good automotive paints? They come in good colors, they aren't dangerous, and are a lot more well behaved that that aircraft stuff. Water-based on not, it is not fun stuff, at least from my experience.
