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

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

I grew up in a low rider community. Everything was primer grey!
Back in the day absolutely low buck guy sprayed their cars with flat black primer. When I see today's "movers and shakers" obsessed with blackout everything on even expensive cars I just shake my head. And know they have been duped by marketing and manufacturing cost controls to avoid the cost of chrome. I remember years ago Harley was the first to introduce such cost cutting. Of course I suppose I was duped by marketing and chrome so I'm not on any higher ground. You can't get chrome wheels on today's $200k plus corvettes, and haven't for a few of years now. But the higher dollar SUV's still have the clientele that buys/demands chrome. Such is a changing world.

Ah, I get it.. Jimmy said I could run it primered too.. LOL Except he wont pull his out of the shop if it's not waxed.. Says it may not run good but at least it will look good..
