where do you guys get paint from
im trying to paint my front bumper
now i was quoted 200 for the paint i thought that was a bit steep since the local shop wants 200 to paint it. but i wanted to paint a couple more things myself since i do paint at home.
where do you guys get your paint from. Is it noraml for it to be this expensive. i also has the same car painted for 600 like 5 years ago and the paint job was great. better than oem.
im assuming i can get paint a bit cheaper. like 100 bucks
paint is taffeta white

Re: where do you guys get paint from
I get my paint from ColorVision in Springfield, Missouri. They are the local PPG Paint house.
On that white you could use PPG (more cost) or Omni/Omni Plus (lesser cost). I have also used R-M Diamont (about the same cost as Omni locally). If all you're painting is a bumper cover a pint of paint will do. All examples above are reduced 1:1, meaning you will have one quart of sprayable material. Be sure to use the appropriate temperature reducer and maximum flash time. Apply 2-3 coats or until hiding, then follow that up with a couple coats of clear coat and you're done!
Be careful not to apply any of the materials too quickly/too much mil build. It's real easy to get old paint/materials to "lift" off of plastic due to the aggressive nature of the solvent in paint/clear and it will look terrible/pop off.
All of this should be about $80.00 or so.
