draven Forums Junkie I supported Toymods Location: Epping, Sydney Registered: May 2002	acrylic vs 2-pac Wed, 17 September 2003 13:48 ok, I'm considering a respray on my new baby - as I'll have the engine out and everything, and it will need a panel or 2 resprayed regardless (salvage from my wreck) my question is this - which do you guys think is the better option? I know 2-pac provides a better gloss finish that is easier to keep clean, but it's also a lot harder to do properly, as it tends to get slight waves and ripples in it. the acrylic (like the standard ma61 paint) is much easier to do, but is also a bit of a bitch to keep clean, and would need good quality waxing regularly. my current thought is to get it done acrylic, give it a good wash and a nice hard wax coat, then every time I wash it use a much softer wax, and occasionally use a harder one bear in mind I know very little about car paints, so anything would be helpful [Report message to a moderator]
