Any thoughts as to which is the better? I've seen some paint jobs which I believe to be 2 pack, but to my eye the the paint "gloss'just did'nt seem to be "right"for an old holden. It was plenty shiny but there was something not quite right.

A quick and easy way to paint and still get a nice gloss finnish is to use acrylic base coat for your colour and put a 2 pack clear over the top. Simple, no buffing and looks good. :-)

Im getting mine resprayed in 2pak right now. i could have done it myself in acrylic, but 2pak is more durable and lasts longer! That's my 2 cents!
