The Datsun has evil failing clearcoat. I dressed it up a tiny bit last year for vacation, but it's failing. No way I'm going to put paint on it that costs more than it's worth, but I am willing to burn a few bucks and hours to try to make it semi presentable.
Single stage paint seems like the winner for this, even thought the rest is base/clear. I've found a quart for under a hundred, but it needs reducer and hardener. I've got some from other paint projects, but not this brand, not this model etc. I'm looking for semi presentable, not a non hardening goo, nor wrinkle coat. So, the obvious question is is there any compatibility between different manufacturers products? I'm sure they'd say no, but they 1, want to sell their stuff, and 2, don't want to be on the hook if it turns ugly. 3, they might not even know, but I bet some of their chemists do, but they're not going to go there, understandably.
And I didn't even do well in HS chemistry, let alone on this level. I've looked at the spec sheets and they have some similarity, but not the same. And this is just what I have on hand, not what is recommended!
But anyone have any idea? (and if I didn't already wear a respirator when using this stuff I damned well would now)
