I'd be interested in knowing what problems he thinks are likely to arise down the track from acrylic? Only problem I ever had using acrylic paint was due to the owner supplying 8 litres of paint that had sat in his garage for 5 years ..... People don't seem to realise that paint has a shelf life....

I'd say they are worried about shrink-backs from repairs that haven't had the time to dry out and settle. The problem is people send the car in and want it back in 2 weeks. (LOL as if any panel beater returns a car in two weeks!) But I understand that this is most likely the concern. The other old chestnut is humidity blisters which a lot more prone in Acrylic. Still it's a solid colour, nothing hard about the job.

Craig as you know I lived the 'gong. I can't even think of anyone to recommend you to. Chris Hodges used to send his cars to Bathurst for paint.
Most of the guys I would trust no longer have or work in panel shops so I end up doing Acrylic jobs myself.
