I used Dupont Chromalusion paint. Its very expensive at $1300 a gallon. I use a compressor and a auto style gun, this is not rattle can spray paint. I paint instruments for a living so I have a very nice setup to do paint. You will need the same to use this paint as you have to atomize the paint correctly or it wont work. An airbrush will not handle this paint either. ---
