Default Anyone used Eastwood's Base/Clear

Redoing the interior in the GP this winter and wondering if anyone has used the Eastwood 2 stage base clear system? Good? Bad? I am looking at the Boulevard Black. Plan on painting the entire interior, dash, door jambs etc. Going from red interior to black

Just had my car painted sour apple green re-labeled Summit racing paint. I am very pleased with the finish & considering how cheap the paint was I can not complain. But my car is just a cruise in & slow bracket racing car.

Just curious because I am in Canada too, is there something about the Eastwood paint that would make it preferable than buying from a local jobber near where you are? Just thinking that if you order from Eastwood and need some more activator or something you may have to wait versus sticking with a local (easy to get) product.

FWIW, I've bought quite a bit of Eastwood paint products so far (mainly frame and detail paints, no base/clear), and have had no issues with the quality, but their packing skills are lacking.

My last order was about 2 years ago, and there was hardly any packing inside the box to keep the cans from moving, actually, there was just a few of those small air pillows thrown in. The cans all arrived dented, and I am sure if the lids had not had the safety clips on them, there would have been an "incident".

I am looking into Dupont's Nason line as well. Can't get the old chromabase/chromaclear anymore.
