I just sprayed my dune buggy body with Omni today. I’m fixing the buggy up and selling it to help fund other projects so I was looking for a hot red, preferably a good metallic red but every paint chip I picked was 3 stage and the cost was way too high at $500 or more for a small job. I finally grabbed the Omni chips and picked a straight, smoking hot red single stage. I got two quarts with catalyst and a little reducer (had some already) for less than $200.

It did take a few coats to cover but I had plenty and I’m really happy with the results, especially for a garage job. The buggy body was a nightmare with multiple coats of paint and primer over the yellow original gel coat. The topcoat was a red rattle can primer and it and another coat of some crap several layers down were rubbery. I stripped and sanded down to the gel coat and started over. Kinda overkill but I was pretty sure one of the layers of crud was going to explode on me the second the topcoat hit the body.

Anyway, I’m happy with Omni both from a quality and cost standpoint.
