the paint is all duplicolor. it is best to keep the brands the same from primer to clearcoat, that way the chemistry is most compatible. the blue metal flake costs about $10 a can. the silver metallic and ultra white are both automotive touch-up colors. the key to rattlecan is to keep even strokes, and lay down a fog coat before laying in your color coat. clean everything you touch with acetone so you don't get fish eye or orange peel. sand primer with 800 grit, etc. oh, and buy the expensive masking tape, not the cheap stuff. not too hard, really...
