Selecting interior cabin paint - 1 hour

 Today I went to the local automotive paint store to pick out some interior paint for the cabin. I really wrestled with what paint to use. I very much side on using rattle cans as they produce decent results and are sooo much easier for cleanup. Question is do I go cheap and get something less durable. Or do I spend more and get something very durable. At one point I went to Canadian Tire and picked up a can of automotive touch up paint and used on a test piece....The result was beautiful paint but it was not durable. It would scratch off fairly easily.

Ultimately I went for durable as priority. So, having previous experience with the Spray Max 2K primers, making the jump to the same manufacturer but with single stage 2K paint. This was my best option in my opinion.


It was recommended to stick with a solid color rather than metallic when using this spray application. Its much easier to get consistent results. Metallic is better suited for other paint/spray applications. I had a small selection of solid colors to choose from.Early on I had narrowed my my paint scheme to a medium gray....not too light, not too dark. So naturally the N0429 Gray was the best option.
