Best places to buy automotive paint
I am new to painting cars but I'm hoping to paint mine within a few months so I want to make sure I get everything ready and all the info I need before I'm ready to paint. I'm already starting the prep work. A neighbor/friend of mine has painted cars before so he will be helping me.
Where are the best places to buy automotive paint? I'm still undecided with what ill do but ill probably paint it the same style it is now, black with white stripes down the sides.

Summit has great prices, and their product is as good as more expensive alternatives.

I got my primer and clearcoat from SPI. The basecoat (Omni brand) I bought at the local Carquest store.

Re: Best places to buy automotive paint
Really. Find a paint store near you and try them out. There's so much more you'll need besides just the paint, especially the advice.
