The Different Types of Paints You Can Use On Your Car – Spray
There are three basic kinds of paints which can be used to paint cars Enamel, Urethane and Lacquer, but for home users to understand these kinds easily we can further divide them into many like Acrylic Enamel, Urethane, Acrylic Lacquer, Base coat/Clear coat, Water-based, etc, which you can use to paint your cars. Every kind has its own good and bad effects. Brands also matter a lot because they give us reliable guarantee about the product.
There are quite a few types of Enamels. Most people in the industry don’t like Enamels although Acrylic Enamel is the best of the worst. This type of finish is Good but not Excellent as it can dull after a few years and cannot be Buff Polished properly like Acrylic Lacquer. If you are going to paint your car go for Acrylic Lacquer it’s easy to Spray on and if you get a run, a quick rub down and Blow in another coat of paint . It dries very quickly and you should get a Gloss of the gun, if you don’t when it’s fully dry after a few days a quick Buff over will give you a fantastic finish.
Most professional can spray urethane paints. If you’re sending your car to a shop for painting, then by all means have them use urethane paint as it produces an incredibly tough finish-some people don’t like the slightly plastic appearance, however, so look at samples before you commit. If you’re spraying the car yourself, then only venture into urethane paints if you have the proper safety gear (an exterior forced air respirator mask with air pump-great for general use in the shop). Urethane doesn’t run or sag as readily as the enamel, dries faster, and doesn’t attract insects as much as enamel. Enamel is cheaper, less toxic while spraying, and can be kept in the spray cup longer (has a longer pot life).
Base coat/Clear coat painting is more difficult than acrylic enamel. The most difficult is putting on the clear coat without runs and getting it just right. 2-3 coats of basecoat should be sufficient for coverage. Be sure to allow the solvents in the paint to “flash-off” between coats to prevent drying problems.”Flash-off” is the evaporating of the solvents in the paint. 5-10 minutes between coats is recommended based on temperature. A hazy finish means the paint has flashed-off.
Water based car paints are the paints which use water as an solvent and are less toxic and therefor easy to use and most favorite by the manufacturers and home users. The draw back of water based paints are that they do not give very glossy look like enamel.

[...] So, this won’t lessen your tax bill this year. But if you’re facing a large car repair it might be worth it to get a new vehicle. I’ve been reading that used car prices are increasing because people are unwilling or unable to take the plunge with a new car.

I would contact GMC and write a nice letter requesting for refund along with the repair invoice. If the refused, you can also let them know you will take them to small claim court to retrieve your $150. Their time worth more then $150 and your chance of getting the refund should be very good.
i like the 2nd link better. but your car would look better with some black somewhere on the exterior for those rims. if you dont really have any black, or have very little, id go with the 1st. the 1st one isnt as flashy. so depending on how u want the car to look, and what the car looks like. its hard to say. and i dont know about your painted/alloy question. if i had to say i would say they are different.
