Basically, I wanted to stay with a single manufacturer for everything that I could. Being a beginner with no auto body experience, I have relied heavily on YouTube, the interwebs, and this forum. Eastwood has a very navigable FAQ section, and I even called their tech support a few times. Lastly, I like being able to order everything at once from the same place.
I can say that the internal frame coating stuff went on just like I figured....very wet and runny, which really is what you want so that it flows into all of the nooks and crannies. It will make a mess, so you have to tape up the areas where it will run out. I also put a bunch of plastic down in the garage so that it didn't get all over the place. It also dried pretty quick, which was a bonus. I used it everywhere on the cab that I could except the roof (I didn't want it running back down the walls and I had already done most of the body work so I didn't want to roll the cab on its back again and damage anything that I had already fixed.
I stayed with Eastwood for everything except the body filler. For that, I chose to use Evercoat Rage Ultra. It was recommended by several body shops (on YouTube) that do show cars. I have been super happy with the results so far.
