Not too long ago I did my interior. I was leaning towards DupliColor. It was suggested to me to try a product called SEM. I found it at a local paint supply store. It comes in spray bomb so you don't have to mix it. It was about $10 a can and I think I used a little over 2 cans. I'm glad I used it. it came out real good.

But in my opinion, Duplicolor will also look good if you take the time to prep. Whichever you decide to go for, take your time. And use an adhesion promoter.

As for the paint job. Someone here has an interesting qoute in their avatar that I'm finding more and more to be true. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR. I know it's enticing to get a fresh paint job for under $200 but C'mon. I've had friends who took cars to Earl's and (about 5 years ago) they came out with trash in the paint and it was flaking off in about 6 months. I'd wait.
