I crossed paths with old skool panel beater yesterday who is doing a resto on an HZ Van. I asked him if he would use 2k or acrylic. His response was period car, period paint. He has loads of old cars and never uses 2k.

Got me thinking that while I agree with him in terms of period should be period correct, 2k is great stuff. Shorter paint time and far less maintenance. Less perfect prep (2k fills better) Longer life etc etc etc. Acrylic is easier to rework and spot repair etc. Boths have pros and cons.

I think when it comes time to paint mine id still be on the fence. AdamPerth posted some pics a year or so back. He was less than pleased with the orange peel in his fresh 2k paint job.

Anyone strictly one way or the other?
