Re: Hot Rod Flatz

Yeah, I have been wonering and even asking painters how TCP Global, which is where I've shopped HRF, can sell paint so cheap. I have also shopped their single stage urethane glass colors. Cheap as well. I never have gotten a real answer. And TCP sells multi brands including high end such as House of Kolor. One thing I do know, ask a painter and what you get is their opinion. Those opinions can be based on any number of things, including "It's what I have always used". So that means they have no experience with anything else. It also means they must have had good experiences or they would have given something else a try. My good friend who paints hates Sherwin-Williams because it wouldn't dry for him. I've used their automotive paint in medium gold poly years ago. I had painters tell me that was a terrible color because being high in metallic it would fade really fast. I ran that truck over ten years and it never faded. But I did take really good care of it. The S-W paint my friend used in more recent years had a lot of driers taken out to comply with VOC regs. That may be the problem with HRF. For me slow dry time is not such an issue. I can let it sit and dry. A professional needs the job out the door and no issues with the customer. Or there may be more work needed done, such as a two-tone job.
