I tried searching the forums for an answer to this but kept getting database errors, so here we go...

Yesterday I picked up a Neo 29 cab from N80G80 and finished gutting it last night. I plan on using some prepsol and wet sanding it later today, should have it professionally painted in my friend's car shop by sometime next week (pictures up once I get this far). So my question is, what type of paint do most people use/suggest for this cab?

I had my friend use auto paint (3 coats) and a 1 coat of clear coat on my astro cities. The results were amazing. I'd recommend having it professionally done by an auto painter for best results. Also, dont' bother with the krylon plastics paint... I hear it has a tough time bonding to candies.

Do you know if he used enamel, acrylic or lacquer paint?
