Where to get Paint?
Trying to find a NON metalic medium dark grey paint, base coat/clear coat. It's either that or do a wrap.
I can paint, just never had any luck with a metalic paint. I'm not paying someone 10,000.00 to spray it.
Anyone know where to go?

Thanks
Dave

Don't bother trying California, it's one more thing outlawed in this State.

Every legit body shop has a full finish coating inventory, and most rural NAPA stores will have a good selection. Body shop supply stores.
I'd slide into a body shop and talk to the finish specialist.

California has water-based automotive paint. I buy all my paint in Oregon. Solvent base paint is the best. You might be able to order online and have it shipped. I use Omni brand. Good paint and reasonably priced.


When everything is coming your way, your probably in the wrong lane.

Thanks Guy's. You have given me several places to check.
In my own searches everything shows metalic, no non metalic. I'll check out the ones you all have listed..

Thanks
Dave

Never heard of this. What is it a grey primer with a clear coat?
