Default FOLLOWUP -- Snap-On Paint



why don't you go to a REAL paint store, not a hardware store or a

consumer
automotive store? The places that supply body/fender shops, for example

-
they will know what the paint is, will be able to match, and sell you the


proper thinners and primers to use with it as well as whatever protective


gear you need to apply it. - generic enamel won't hold up well on a tool

NAPA is hardly a "consumer automotive store."

Counterman Magazine rates NAPA's customer base as 70% professional and 30%
retail/DIY. Carquest is another that is rated high in the professional
cuatomer level.

Pep Boys, OTOH, is 100% retail/DIY while others such as Auto Zone,
Advance,
etc. rate high in the retail/DIY.

NAPA sells Martin Senour products.



whatever you think NAPA is, it is NOT a professional grade paint store - one
chain I have used is Finishmaster, but there are others - if you go to a
store that knows about paint, rather than parts, you will get much better
advice.
