Default DP vs Shopline?

I was thinking of getting DP 90 for my Chevelle,@$370 gallon kit I guess was okay but then the shopline was $150 for that kit. The car is in bare metal so I'm just using this epoxy so I can protect it while I do body work. Is this the old saying you get what you pay for? Any help would be great. Thx

Check out Southern Polyurethanes epoxy. Great product with a good price and free shipping.

www.southernpolyurethanes.com

Good tech info on their forum.

Don't go cheap on material. In the grand scheme it's a small percentage of the total bill

Shopline is the old OMNI line that sucks. Yes DP is overpriced, but it still won't make me use Shopline. I would suggest SPI as others have.
