duplicolor \"grabber green\"

I need to throw a cheap fast spray onto an already f'ed up tank. The only green I can find is Duplicolor "grabber green" engine paint. Anyone ever used this stuff?

I know it's basically crap, but how much better is PJ1? I can't find anyone with PJ1 around me, it seems to be Dennis-Kirk-order-only (I checked all the dealers I could think of).

loudhvx, im currently painting my 77 kz650 with the duplicolor grabber green engine paint. everything is going really good with it. ill post some pics of it when im done

Awesome! Thanks!

I used the Duplicolor Metalcast Blue on my fairing and liked the results. Followed the directions; used an adhesive starter/primer, silver base coat then the blue.
My other body work is a Candy Blue, and the Duplicolor Metalcast has a similar effect.

I don't think it would stand up to gas very well, but for a fairing away from the gas it's worked fine.

I used grabber green on my valve cover and a couple other small parts, goes on easy enough, it chips easily but I think you'll have the problem with pretty much any rattle can.

Haven't used PJ1 myself, heard good things about it but not after I was done painting, would have probably used the PJ1 instead.

Here is a pic of my valve cover

AGHHH My eyes:pinch:

I wasnt expecting that kind of green:P I like it, sorta grabs you and says look.

yep, Grabber Green. Went on fairly smooth, even coverage over a black base and baked in the sun, Seems to be fairly tough for a spray can paint job.
