Re: Alkyd enamel with urethane clear coat

Sorry to hear things did not work out and you'll likely need to redo things but this does bring up an interesting point. I have seen so many people post on boards I read how they will spend years on a project (you said 6 years on the cab) and then try to do the paint as cheap as possible. I completely understand trying to save a buck but sometimes in the long run, it's worth spending the money for the right products so you don't go through having to redo a bunch of work you already did. I think that should be the lessoned learned from this thread.

Wish you the best and hope this doesn't discourage you from completing your truck.
