K+H paints and products?
Have any of you paint and panel guys used the K+H brand products before, particularly the 1k primer/topcoats?
I would rather support an Australian company but if it has a bad rep. I don't know.
So is this stuff alright?

If you are doing a bare metal respray with all K&H products used, all specifications as listed by K&H and products applied the way they
specify, then it should all come good with skill and patience.
However if you are combining products and mixing different brands, I would not recommend this in any case, but in this case certainly cannot give
guarantee that it will all be good.
I find some products work better in touchup and repair situations, and Dulux Dulon is a good example. Standox has a more aggressive thinner in it and
it will have more chance of creating reactions with underlying substrates.
So the answer is Yes K&H primer and topcoats are alright in the right situation.
I have no hesitation in using the K&H body filler, underbody deadener or seam sealer anytime.
