Omni. Omni plus is what I used it wasn't that much more. Clearcoat is where you don't want to cheap out though.

I was gonna say the same thing. It's made by PPG, too. Actually OMNI clear isn't too bad, either. I used to use it all the time on custom motorcycle paint jobs. I painted this bike last spring, used OMNI production clear on it, and it won NUMEROUS bike shows this year.

Re: Need paint help

Thanks fellas. I painted bikes professionally for 16 years. Here's another one I painted about a year ago. The guy wanted a good, but low cost paint. This bike is painted entirely with OMNI products

Re: Need paint help

Omni is good stuff. My Dad uses it and he has painted cars since the mid 70s. He has restored and painted LOTS of high end showcars and many of them wear Omni paint. Great job dagwood.
