I am intrigued, but not ready to try a full paint job. The risk of a "new product to me" is you won't know how good or bad it is for a number of years. I not willing to experiment with the unknown on someone else's car. Pricing is less than PPG as they want $614 for a gallon of Viper Red, costs me around $900 for Deltron. But Hugger Orange is $170/Qt, I paid $165 for Deltron last summer. They mention good adhesion in the a lot of tech sheets, isn't that expected? Also they need to do a grammar and spell check on the tech sheets. Their tech sheets are more detailed which is good for beginners.

I've used a lot of tamco over the last few years. I have had very good results. I painted my judge 2 years ago and my motorcycle last week.

I repaired the quarters panel problem areas on my Lemans. Tamco 661 epoxy primer, 5310 high build, Atoll blue base, 4100 clear. All Tamco. Very happy with the results.

There is a shop fairly local to me that swears by Tamco. From the pictures of some of the stuff he's done I wouldn't be afraid to use it. Myself I use a lot of Valspar products.
