Default Good cheap 2 stage?

I'm looking for some good cheap 2 stage to paint my wheels with. I was looking at Duplicolor's Paint Shop. It's at advance/autozone for like 20 bucks. Anybody ever used it? I'm most interested in the clearcoat, i know, clear for 20bucks? It couldn't last. Maybe I'm wrong.

Ive used it and please do not give that company anymore of the consumers money. I already gave them fifty for there clear/base, and it was garbage. the clear was almost non existent after it dried. So save your time and money. Your better of with a gloss spraypaint.

i actually spot painted a 1/4 panel for a buddy who was selling the car the next day and i was actually impressed with this clear. only down fall is its very thin so it will run on you.

to the guy i quoted, did u buff yours out? the clear did look like garbage till i buffed it out. couldnt tell the difference between original and what i had sprayed

The only problem with that is I'm painting a set of meshies, so it would be very difficult to buff. Ive seen some people use Duplicolor Metalcast, with some spraybomb clear and have it come out lookin pretty damn good. I'm thinking of going that route.
