    So you spend all that money on panel and paint and you dont want it shiny cmon get in the 21 century in this day and age and with all the new products on the market and foam pads for buffing its not that harder than using acrylic and i know 2 pac will last
    acrylic has had its time and not many spraypainters want to use it anymore cant say i blame them

    2k will only last as long as your repairs that are lurking underneath... the reality is that if you give a car a nice paint job you probably wont leave it in the sun and rain. it really wont matter how long it lasts. acrylic will last just fine

    It probably would be fine chris but have a look at show winning paint jobs not only here but all over the world they are 2 pac
    all the good european cars are all 2 pac today why because it lasts a hell of a lot longer than acrylic
