The Ford Barn

I have been using PPG Concept to paint my cars - a 28 special coupe and a 29 phaeton. I have two more vehicles to paint - a 29 CCPU and 28 roadster. The PPG paint is very high priced and going higher. There was recently a link to the TCP Global website that shows they have the colors used on model A's. The acrylic urethane, like Concept, is about a third the price of PPG Concept, as well as the reducer and catalyst at much lower prices. I would like to know how Fordbarn people rate the TCP paint. I have no idea of the TCP paint's quality. I suspect that it may be comparable to the cheaper paint lines like Nason and Omni form PPG and DuPont. If the quality isn't comparable to Concept (PPG top of the line acrylic urethane), I would probably stick with it due to the work required to prep and paint a vehicle. I might be wrong and the TCP paint is "top of the line" quality. Any helpful responses would be appreciated.
