Default Paint

I live in the Orlando area. I have a 1995 Honda Civic Coupe and I wanted to paint it yellow, nothing fancy. Do you guys know of a place I could get a fairly cheap paint job?

Thanks,
Chris

you'll get what you paid for

in most cases, cheap paint dont last very long ( peel-off, faded,cracks,etc)
again, great quality paint w/o great painter = cheap quality / no good.

If you DIY, make sure do the prep precisely.

80% of the quality= prep job
20% of the quality=paint material & the painter guy

Both are very important, even though 1 has less percentage
