I actually painted my 71 chevy truck using this and you really cant tell the difference.
You can look it up on youtube here is the link.

Its a lot wet sanding but so far the results are good. I just refuse to pay a paint shop $1000 to spray my car after all of the body work has been done.

I have been doing paint and body for about 10yrs as a hobbie. I am new to TX so I sold most of my shop equipment. I considered buying a big compressor. But I will try this way 1st since I have seen the results. Matte paint is very unforgiven and you can see every flaw in it. Like I said so far so good I will post pics of the final results.
