I've done body work for thirty five years. I am a firm believer in using quality paint and undercoats. Limco and the other generic brands don't have the UV protectors that your major brand paints have. We've tried many brands of the cheaper paints and they just don't hold up. I would not spend five or more years building an airplane to put a cheap paint job on it. Just doesn't make sense.
