Default Paint?

I'm just curious to see what some of you, if any, prefer to use for paint. I myself like to shoot epoxy primers and polyurethane topcoats. I've mostly worked with fiberglass surfaces till now and have been happy with the results. I know some guys have trouble with bubbling on vettes and such because they don't use paints that let the glass breathe while it cures. I was wondering if anyone has used the Dupli-color no mix acrylic. Info of what it was used on and how it turned out would be great. I know it's a little expensive, but dupli-color aerosols usually turn out at least a Maaco quality finish. Any info would be pretty sweet. Thanks.

On my 95 m3 I used epoxy primers and polyurethane paints/topcoats. Granted this was for the track and I did a shitty paint job but at least it looks good from far away.

I use RM hydrobase paint and clear, and epoxy high-build primer, also by RM. Since I'm a professional painter, I tend to prefer the expensive stuff. Works great on all surfaces; including aluminum, fibre-glass, and carbon fibre.

Duplicolor work good I think for things like nerf bars, and tool boxes.

Always I thought why is only brown/orange color on the truck body...? Is it any symbolic color for this?
