dupli color paint/summit paint / eastwood paint?
 

Has anyone had any success with one of those 3 products? i am getting to the point where i have to save for a paint job since my body guy gave up on me. I was thinking about doing it myself since i have all the tools. I just want something to hold me over for like 3 or 4 years until i can save up to get a real paint job with high quality stuff. Any thoughts?

I have read that Summit's paints are pretty good but have never used them ,you might get a local bodyshop to mix you some inhouse ,my shop mixes their own. None of it is cheap though .

Go to a local paint shop that carries automotive paint. Look at all the different paints, feel all the different paints. I found that some looked different in a larger patch. If you know someone who has one of those Pantone guides for automotive paint. I spent way too much time searching for paint colors and manufacturers. I am sure that most of us did.

yeah i am doing nothing but prep work. Now i am at the point since we stopped working on it that i want to finish off the prep and go for it. I was getting a lot of flack about going with a cheap paint, but the way i look at it i need something to drive around this summer. the other body guy is talking about i need quarters and all this leaving me with a big bill that i dont want to pay right now. My car is not a show car its a driver and so what its a little rough i am fine with it..lol

Every seen the the cars painted with Rustoleum? They come out not bad.

Lol wow would of never thought of that

Just have to laugh. At least I painted mine Hugger Orange the first time I painted it. Cause we all know that Orange is a great color to hide flaws. And it had a lot of them. lol

I did the rustoleum trick on one of my car trailers and it came out great with a little work. Here's how.

I have seen some rustoleum jobs done on trucks that looked pretty good .

you painted it yourself?

i have no idea what to think about that! interesting for sure!!

I have never used any. But I have heard nothing but good about eastwood products.

For a quick relatively cheap paint Acrylic Enamel.

Napa sells martin senior...its actually Sherwin Williams.
It is spendy...but one of the best IMHO.
The plus is its always gona be available if you have to match or blend.

I was thinking the same thing about Napa. I use them all the time. When I looked up the location in his area, it looked like most of the stores had closed up.

i am trying to search for some of the colors any links?

Links and color chips are not the way to choose a color. They look different on a computer Or a very small paint chip than on a car. To the point of not even looking like the same color.

The 2 tone or shine effect is lost which is what makes and breaks some colors. Like it is a distinctly different color in the sun than when cloudy.

Once you find a color you like google it. The name of the color. Images of all different kinds of cars painted that color will pop up. Gives you a idea what it will look like on your car as opposed to the car it came on.

Look as you drive at the cars. When you see a color you like find out the make and year. My paint store has paint books in it. Find the year make and model. Get the number and then they mix it.

o i know what color i want. i know for a fact that dupli color has the color i want. and it paints really good. I am leaning heavy to the duli color paint shop. I bought a can of it just to test it out and it came out great! but i wanted to see what the name of the company they carry and what paints they do offer.
