Whats your thoughts on their product?
Is it something a amature can use in a garage?

That Red is beautiful, is that a white base coat or sealer?
All I have used in my shop since 2005 is Southern Polyurethanes Inc. epoxy primer, urethane primer and clears. SPI does not offer a lot of colors but now they have red, black, white and matte black or clear. SPI is made for the guy working out of his garage and has great customer service. The white is a reduced coat of epoxy which makes the SPI Red pop.

Thank you for your input on their product, much appreciated.
When your shooting a color that they don't supply, whose brand do you use?

I was using Diamont but have switched to Pro Spray lately. I spray the base one day waiting an hour between coats and the next day spray SPI clear. I also painted one using PPG.
