Default Paint

Is there another good paint like House of Kolor that I might use to paint my Sporty. Maybe a little less costly?

depends upon where you live and the voc content laws thanks to EPA. paint companies come on go, i love dupont but now owned by another. sometimes auto parts stores sell off the shelf paint like dupli-color. i have used it and it seems fine but sometimes only in lac which i really do not like. i like urethane with hardner. try aircraft outlets, i painted my jeep with inron poly and it held up to much abuse. it is very forgiving with a bunch of additives to make it do what you want, only paint i have seen where you can wipe out a run and lay it back flat.
