any good painter will lay a min of 3-5 coats of clear, how do you think show car finishes are made?? I've seen up to 7 done before cause after wet sanding and buffing 3-4 coats can be removed to get that glass finish and the last thing you wanna do is lay it thin and burn through to the base

now you got me thinking...well, thanks for the info, I learned something new

ryan -- i know a guy that does paint for a damn good price, he did my gt bumper and it looked sexy. you've got my number man

not going with maaco. may be working it out with someone soon. and ok chris i text u

I have seen Bill's work on many a car (Bill from westminster) and it is on point! He will give you a fair price and it will be done right! BobT doesn't recommend many people but when he does trust him!

alright so i have decided that my friend and i are going to paint my car... the same color... and i was wondering... does anyone know where i can buy the paint from or does anyone have any hook ups?

ill need... base coat, clear coat, reducer, hardner, flex agent, primer..

i know dupont sells this as a kit for like $350, but was gonna search around for better price

thanksss

if you don't have a temperature controlled booth Ryan to paint it, you'd be wise to wait until late sept/early october when it is less humid and cooler, even with a slow reducer, with temps as they are now it'll be tough to control the rate at which it cures, often in weather like we have now, it'll dry from the outside in and the primers as well as the paint/clear will do some fun stuff....Been there done that one

yeah my friend has a 2 car garage, not sure if its climate controlled though. i have a friend who's dad has a paint shop im gonna see if once all prep work is done if we can use a booth of his to spray it all down but i will get to all the paint stuff after this weekend

^^^cool.....and fyi, any automotive paints store will have all the stuff, just make sure the reducer is for the temp range in which you'll be painting
