I have a '64 Ford Fairlane with no rust. I have stripped it to bare metal and primered it with 5 Star Primer. When I started this project I wanted to go back with paint and lacquer, however, I found out that due to Oregon's green laws paint and lacquer can not be sprayed in my area. I am painting it at college or I would just ignore the law on this one, However, since I want to be able to buff out any scratches that this car may get, I do not want to put on a base coat/clear coat, and decided to go with a single stage acrylic urethane, now I have a bigger dilema, i can only find the color I need in two brands Omni, which I have heard horror stories about when it comes to color matching and Crossfire which I have not heard anything about, I have tried to research them both on the internet, but keep getting the manufacturers page which both claim to be superior in every way. Go figure! Anyhow, I am looking for anyone who has used either or both of these brands to give me some direction in this area. By the way, Omni is $101 per gallon and Crossfire is $139 per gallon so not much difference in price.

Thanks, In advance. Anything good or bad will be helpful
