It is half the cost of enamel paint sold by MACS. Does it do the job, easy to work with, nice finish, etc?

I used the TCP acrylic enamel with hardener.
The color match, not so hot, sprayed well, laid down nicely. This was on two different jobs.
Good value IMO.

I've used their acrylic urethane on a couple cars.
I'm no painter but it came out very nice.
Great paint at a great price.

I painted my whole truck with TCP Global single stage urethane, 1st paint job ever in my life! I think it turned out pretty decent, done in the driveway at home.

In about '53 when Shell added "TCP" to their gas I was in our neighbor's '52 Nash and he pulled into a gas station and told the attendant...
Fill 'er up with Tom Cat Piss!
I still chuckle about that. (I was 12)

Thanks for the complements! It was alot of work, but well worth it, saved a fortune! You can buy the paint, reducer, and hardener all separate, I bought mine in kit form, gallon paint, reducer, hardener, filter cones, and stir sticks, all mailed to your door! $100 + shipping
