Hi, Ditto what CNKS said. NASON is DuPont's economy line of automotive paints and is a competitor to PPG's OMNI. I have never used any but have no doubt it is a quality paint for the price. I am curious to know why your DuPont jobber "absolutely hates IMRON". It should be considered top-of-the-line as far as quality and durability goes. They don't use it for planes, trains and fleet vehicles for nothing you know. The only thing against it is cost and high iso content. I don't know what you have for safety equipment but I would be much more concerned with your health using iso-containing materials than getting overspray on the floor. As CNKS says, the overspray-on-the-floor issue can be handled by putting down some plastic film. The film could also be used elsewhere, such as over toolboxes etc. The iso matter is more difficult and costly to properly address, unless you are already set up for it - but that's a personal decision for you to make. You may also have a visibility problem depending on what the volume of your space is and what mechanical ventilation rate is available to remove overspray. I also don't know what you have for a spray gun but if you are doing parts individually (as you should be, IMO) you might want to consider a spot gun. The gravity ones are easy to clean and it's not that much of a deal to set one up for a few individual pieces at a time. The entire chassis is best done with a full sized gun however, unless you want to attack that piecemeal also by masking off areas one at a time. My own rule of thumb on spot vs full size is not to tackle a part with a spot gun that cannot be covered with one coat using whatever quantity is available in the cup - usually about 4-6 oz. You'll get the best coverage by stripping the chassis the maximum practical extent first, but it all depends on what you want to obtain as an end result.  Rod
