75686, Where can i buy paint for my paint job? Posted by EclipsedChef, Aug-05-04 11:24 AM Im looking for a gunmetal color and i would like a decent paint. A friend and i will be doing the work(with a full paint shop of course), and i would like everything i'll need including the base/paint/clear. House of Kolor is out of the question, just too expensive for me, im posting here only because i have no other clues as to where to look and im sure you guys have painted a few cars before. Thanks for any help. | |

75695, RE: Where can i buy paint for my paint job? Posted by optikal, Aug-05-04 06:58 PM napa sells shitty paint. if HOK is out of the question, look into Valspar paints. Valspar owns HOK and it is pretty nice paint. We spray most cars at my shop using valspar. | |

75714, RE: Where can i buy paint for my paint job? Posted by CrazyEclipse, Aug-07-04 05:09 AM I heard from numerous paint guys that Dupont is going down the toliet... Use PPG for a flat color. House of Kolor takes a lot of time and patience, see sig. It took 4 days of SOLID 15 hour days to do that. There is 30+ layers of HOK on the car right now, including just under 2 gallons of clear... | |

Posted by EclipsedChef, Aug-08-04 02:48 AM i never said they didnt know where to get the paint, i want to buy the paint myself because im looking for the new Evolution MR Gunmetal Grey, i figured i would ask you all first. Of course he can get the paint, why not help him out since he isnt charging a damn thing to do it? | |

75997, RE: Where can i buy paint for my paint job? Posted by Pitchblack98, Aug-14-04 03:47 PM Akzo Nobel is where i get my paint from. Not sure the price difference between them and HOK, PPG, etc... but i have a friend that works there and i usually get a pretty good price. Hell i get messed up mixes for free and i usually get some pretty cool colors... | |
