I have a good amount of paint from both sources - would like to mix a couple for the exact color I'm after.
Since they're both alkyd enamels - can I mix the two brands? |

Really Lynn has already answered this. In reality you might get lucky and you might not. The thing is you probably won't know till it fails down the line. Makeing fixing the problem a strip and start over. If you can strip the item in question.

Hey Danny, is there a relatively easy fix for the peeling clear coat, or does the entire area have to be stripped down to the primer, roughed up and resprayed?

That's all I needed to read: Without a definitive answer I think it's best not to try the mix. Won't cost that much to stick with one brand or the other all the way through the project.
Thanks for the suggestions. When the car is complete I'll post a few pics. They'll be nothing special but with a little time on my hands . . . you know the rest. |

since One-Shot is sign and letterning enamel, it has additives that make it pull well from a brush. rustoleum is just kinda weird multipurpose paint. i think i'd stick to one or the other. i wouldn't mix them on anything important or anything for a customer

Sounds kind of complicated to me. There's a snow bird named Hector that lives a few houses up the road from me. When I met him last year, he told me if I wanted to paint mine, he'd help me as he ran a paint and body shop for 35 years down in Miami. Nice dude and said we could even do it in his garage! I will probably just wait until he shows up in November and get him to help me. I'd really like to get it right the first time and not have it look like crap. I can paint a house like a pro, but have never tried my hand at cars. First I have to save up enough money to replace this damned leaking rack. I'm putting a pint of fluid in it every other day now.
