I see a lot more custom one off paint jobs and am wondering what kind of paints they are useing on them? I cant see it being the same base/clear they are putting on cars or is it? I have heard of people that use imron bc its anti fouling. I know auto clear is not and has to breath. Lets hear the inside scoop.. brands and types please..

Thanks for the feed back guys. I wasnt to sure how the base clear would hold up. I'm thinking on giving the advantage an updated paint job.. water line up. I have already redone the dash and gauges, made custom side panels with a killer sound system. But a new paint job would make her look real nice. Any and all advice is more then appreciated.
