Well I know that this will probably get moved right after I post but... has anyone heard of a paint brand called "Alsa?" I am going to repaint my truck that is one brand I was looking at, I am going for the chameleon style so if you have any other suggestions as to a good brand?

Never heard of it. I was wondering something about camelion paint. Is that the paint that changes color in the sun light?

Alsa is decent stuff but I've never used it. PPG, DuPont, and HOK have excellent systems with their color shifting paints and are very user friendly.

Man, I'd hate to see what it would cost to paint a CC with that stuff! Woof! Cheers!

It has come down a lot in price from a few years ago...I painted my wifes Cherokee with a pint of it, over black....

Not to plug a website, but I am currently (slowly) working on a website for painting cars. Keep an eye on it as it progresses for lots of automotive paint related info. - Runboys Online Body Shop

Alright, thanks fellas, I still have to go to the paint shop and take a lookt at all of them, I just noticed that the alsa brand was cheap but i bet it will rub off within the week i bet. Thanks a lot for the help.

Just remember that when it comes to automotive paint, you generally get what you pay for.
Are you subject to V.O.C. regulation in your area?

I would recommend the following brands in this order - Dupont, Glassurit, PPG.
