Acrylic Urethane Car Paint Alternatives


Im about to purchase PPG Concept DCC paint which cost about $200+ a gallon. I'll be using them for my cabinet project. Any suggested quality alternatives out there? I mean, that stuff is very expensive and i'll need around 3-4 gallons of it.

I been searching online, i see companies like house of kolor, are they any good? Also SW has an automotive site, are they any good?

I know some people who will take their doors to a body shop to have them sprayed.

If you can apply the car finishes. You should also be able to apply pigmented conversion varnishes. Get most colors and not spend too much for it. Check with you local paint dealer.
