…auto acrylic with a touch-up gun.Herb Hey herb where can you get auto acrylic,I thought the stuff was illegal and replaced by linear urethane.I can buy it in spray cans from the auto parts shop but cant find it in raw form (quarts,gallons) etc.I did get some acrylic from the furniture refinishing guys but the colors kinda sucked.Thanks
You’re in FL right? There is a chain of Automotive bodyshop/paint supply stores that sell to the public. You can buy acrylic laquer, paint guns, scotch pads, good tape, good sandpaper, you get the idea. The chain is called Thompson. A friend of mine does body work and he turned me on to them. You should be able to find all kinds of alternatives there (it all comes down to how much you want to spend). Have you ever used dolphin skin? It is a little expensive but it works very well. Rub it on and buff it off. It has teflon in it and leaves a semi gloss finish behind.
