I pulled the invoice for the last paint I just bought. This was about 2 weeks ago. A qt of Nason base (custom color) was $40.80, a qt of Nason clear was $25.00. A pint of activator for the clear was $11.40 and the Nason acid etch primer(rattle can) was $7.75 per can. You will need 1-1 1/2 cans per engine. I have been using this paint for about 2 1/2 years now and love it. I still use House of Kolor for some of the off the wall colors.
Here are a few shots of an engine that I just painted with the Nason paint.

I am guessing T&D's? Am I correct Eddie?
I am getting ready to squirt my engine.. Dupont A-4115s, rattle can, self etching was recommended. I usually put Centari over it with a hardner..
Holds up to the gas and oil and scratches..

great looking work! do yo ever have any problems with separation between base and clear coat? Someone told me they had that happen once in a while and recommended just using the fulthane single stage. I've been using single stage instead of base clear for a couple of years with great results so far proba lby don't do near as much as you do. also, does the rattle can version of the primer hold up as well as the 2k 491-17 and 483-83 activator? I've had great luck with ful-thane / single stage over this on engine parts and even drives. rattle can primer would be somewhat more convenient especially for doing odds and ends as you put something together...
Mr. Gadgets is right....they are T and D's.
Here are a few shots of the primer, paint and clear that I used on this engine.
There is also a pic of the dyno sheet.
Thanks, Eddie

I have never had a seperation issues. I've used a single stage a few times and it just doesn't have the gloss. I just got used to shooting base/clear because I use so much HOK. The rattle can primer is sooooo convenient. It's just one less time I have to clean the gun and one less thing to mix. It is a big time saver and time is money.

I am no painter by any stretch of the imagination. I can put it on an engine and make it stay there. I have painted a few cars and boats, but just playing around. Nothing serious. I know how to shoot paint, but I am no expert......or even good, for that matter. I really like the way this paint flows out. It makes it look like I know what I'm doing.![Evil](/forums/images/smilies/evilB.gif)
Hope this has helped, Eddie.
