It depends what type of Dupont paint they have many types acrylic lacquer,acrylic enamel,polyurethane,acrylic urethane enamel they also have basecoat/clearcoat systems but they do not make any candied colors.

Kirker makes some great exotic paint colors in pearls,flake in differnt size,and candies price about 

60-110$/gallon

I usually use just there single stge poly for frames and engine bays for the most part .  hot hues is dupont's "exotic" paint  that includes flakes and candies that mix with there intercoat clears.

Have not used it I will have to check it out . You dont powder coat your frames I have not found a paint that can take the abuse (rocks,roadsalt) Unless its a trailer queen then paint would no problem

usually single stage urethane is pretty good against chips and especially salt/solvents. ihavent had aproblem with it so far. I prefer powder coating , but urethane is hardy enough for the task most of the time.  most my cars have skid plates anywayz

another option would be auto air by itself with transparent sealer from auto air. that doesnt peel off like urethane so its easy to manage scrape. however powdercoating is superior for most applications . but it can scrape off if hit hard enough.

You can get HVLP paint gun very cheap will work fine for trim parts ect. dont paint a car with it.

it only runs about 15-25 psi very little over spray . A gravity feed HVLP try it some time you will stop usein'

the can
