Summit Paint?

Has anyone here had experience with summit paint systems? They used it on trucks on spike tv and it came out pretty good. Any opinions?

how long you do plan on having the car? You do realize that buying from Summit includes paying for staff, advertising, sponsorships and overall overhead. They are a reseller just like any other retail store.

So, what you buy at summit for $100 may only cost $85 elsewhere. Try pricing items at streetsideauto vs summit or jegs and look at the price difference (including the free shipping)

so, just because summit has paint at $129 and another place has it at $89 doesn't mean what you get is any better.

It's up to you. I have no issues getting paint from from paintforcars

I'm not painting a Bentley

how are you applying it?

I'm ordering white for my 89 resto from them this time and I'm going to try an HVLP turbine for the first time. I want to see if the turbines are as easy as they claim. Any less sanding is a blessing. I'm not the worlds best painter but we'll see about the turbnine
