    TCP Global, Urekem, Kirker, Speedocoat, and Summit Racing all sell low priced 2-part urethane paint, single stage or basecoat/clearcoat. I've sprayed them and they are real auto paint. I would use them before spending this much on Rustoleum. Primer, paint, activator, and reducer for a small car like a Saab Sonett wouldn't cost much.
    Astro Euro and Evo paint guns work great for about $100.
    I really love odd little cars like the Sonett. I admire people for keeping them running or bringing them back to life!

      Good to know for next time! But I also wanted to try something different because why not and you never know if you don’t try it!!

      @@Driven_By_History Your enthusiasm is great, but Rustoleum is more of an implement paint for wheelbarrows and lawnmowers. That's a rare car you have there. Low priced urethane from some place like TCP Restoration Shop will reduce your effort and has great gloss. I recommend an Astro Euro-Pro gun with a 1.3 or 1.4 tip for a reliable, cheap gun.

    Nice job my friend, the car looks awesome. I Painted my I.H. Scout 2 many tears back with tractor paint and clear coated on top. It still looks decent all these years later. That orange really suits the car.

      @@rudyflores9395 I used a 20 oz mixing container and did 14oz paint 5oz thinner and 1oz harder so basically a 4:1 paint and thinner and a splash of hardened or something like that it wasn’t exact and probably varied by an ounce or two but it turned out just fine and there wasn’t Any noticeable differences!

    See, there's one issue. Duplicolor car paint is $35/qt, while Rustolium tractor paint is $33/qt (or $105/gallon. Duplicolor is unavailable in gallon). You save almost nothing unless you need a full gallon, which you shouldn't once you thin the paint. If you're going to go through all the effort of prepping your car for paint, an extra $10 for good paint is worth it.
