Where to buy paint

[mjonesjr]

Where do you guys buy your automotive paint for painting an entire vehicle? I need to repaint part of my wife's car after I get finished it.

I go to the local autobody supply but I recently painted a car with paint bought on ebay. The ebay paint didnt flow out very well but came out ok.

Thanks. Will the local auto body supply house mix paint that is ready to put into a gun and spray or will I have to do that? This is going to be my first time spraying anything so I have no clue how to mix the paint.

Can they fade it as well to closer match the other paint on the car?

I've had great luck with a place called Finish Master. http://www.finishmaster.com/

might see if there's one local. The guys @ the one here are very friendly, and will show you how to mix the paint and everything. I can't express how friendly they were. I was amazed.

Thanks! There is one here local. I will have to go over there tomorrow.

You will have to mix it. Its easiest if you buy a few mixing cups. Un fortunatley they cant fade the paint but you can buff the surrounding areas for a better match.

Never buffed anything either. I guess I will get a lot of first with this paint job!
