I understand that we just took the whole body off my truck to paint them off the truck because of the color change.

I have used Martin Senour. I wasn't overly impressed with it. It is better than some stuff I have used, but not half as good as Dupont.

Beleive it or not the 80 im building was shot in martin senour.It came out real nice.. Im really impressed with the clear But not really impressed with the sealer... I like dupont as well as my 70 cougar will get shot again in dupont..My 01 ram will be done in single stage w/ about 3 coats of clear on top of it to give it more luster n durability ..

thanks
