I'm in the process of painting a 06 silverado. I've done a lot of rust repair and will be painting almost the whole truck. Its by no means going to be show quality. Ive read that nason bc/cc is not that great but chromabase is much more expensive. What are the downfalls of Nason? I've used there primer and that seemed ok to me but i'm no expert.

The only downfall of Nason is sometimes it's hard to
get an exact color match.
When doing an entire vehicle, that's not an issue.
The paint is a good quality paint, your paint prep is
a much bigger issue when it comes to long term quality.
Nason will hold up fine.

ok thanks. By the time i'm done there wont be much original paint so matching isnt an issue. it looks like i'll be using 435-93 and 497 clear. I already have 441-20 reducer that will be fine for the base? My conditions are less than ideal but I have very little choice at this point.

I've been throwing around the idea of painting the truck white, I really like white and own several white trucks. It was dark blue metallic. If I change to white would I be better off going with a single stage paint since its a light solid color?

one more question. When I primed the cab I used what I had on hand which was 1k lacquer primer. Should I sand down and redo it with 2k urethane if i go with single stage urethane? Also can the same activator be used in the primer as the topcoat? I'm trying not to spend to much on this but also don't want to have to do anything over again. Thanks

I would never paint over lacquer primer.
It continues to shrink for weeks, maybe months.
Check your tech sheet for your paint, some brands use the same
activator for different paints. But usually the primer uses a different one.
I don't see why the color you're covering makes any difference
if you're priming it first.

yeah i regret that decision, just made more work for myself. live and learn i guess. Should I try and sand all the way through the primer?

I'm guessing that you heard single stage solid colors turn out better than metallic single stages and I would agree for a beginner. As for the lacquer primer it's not the best but it's easy to sand. I have used it before and not had problems, if you are comfortable with a different primer sand it all down and call it experience.
