I used SPI undercoats.

Started off with the Dupont and PPG, but too many places indicated that SPI products were just as good and more economical.

I called and talked to the owner and he explained to me how he was offering basically the same products but more hobby friendly and lower cost. He does not have to support a network of dealers.
An example of why he is more hobby friendly is his epoxy primer. If I remember correctly he has a like a 7 day recoat window. Where PPG is 3 days or less (been a while since I looked it up). This means a weekend warrior can get by doing one operation on a sunday and finish next saturday.

I know when I use the SPI products it is clear he does not skimp on solids. It coats great.
