Acrylic Enamel
Acrylic Lacquer
Lacquer was the very first car paint and was the only car
paint option for several years. The pros of this kind of
paint are that acrylic lacquers are the easiest paints to
apply and they have a high gloss. The cons are that this
paint fades quickly – especially when exposed to UV
rays – and that the paint is now illegal in many states
due to its environmental impact.
Acrylic Urethane
Solid Paint
Metallic Paint
Pearlescent Paint
Pearlescents are similar to metallic paints except that
they replace the aluminum powder with ceramic (mica)
crystals. These crystals can appear to be any color of
the rainbow since they don’t just reflect light – they
refract it as well. If you’re looking for a dazzling, subtly
colorful paint that looks different from every angle,
pearlescent is the way to go.
