It's probably better stuff than we can use here in Cali. They don't have the AQMD and CARB telling them what they can and can't use. All the stuff the shops are using in So Cal is water base, paint wise. Clear is still Urethane though.

Nice truck resto. I like your approach, start from the frame and work out from there, well done! I deal with a body shop in San Bernardino that is a bunch of brothers, all from Mexico. They learned their trade from their family back in Mexico. Their work is second to none, and they do it mostly old school compared to many shops. Hammer and dolly, tin snips, fixing panels many shops would replace. They do all their own fab, paint, air brush, mechanical installs, all in the family. They make shops like West Coast Customs look silly. They did the custom car show circuit for a while winning everything in sight before focusing on a more traditional style shop, that's where the money is. If you know who your dealing with in Mexico, you can get some ridiculous work done very cheap down there. The trick is knowing who your dealing with. You don't want your pride and joy to come up missing once it crosses the border.
