The cheapest paint i know of is actually made right there in Sydney it is Concept Paints. How Cheap? I just bought 4 litres acrylic in Brisbane for $75 mixed! (stage 1 colour white from MR2) That is half the price of the paint that i usually get. I have just painted my car in it and the paint had good consistancy with good coverage. The finish is ok, a little dull however it was painted in a shed on a rainy day and although retarder was added a spray painter i know who used it a few times said the finish seems to be a little dull off the gun. His solution was to hit it with a single pack clear however i used a normal acrylic clear. With all acrylics a good cut and buff brings the paint finish up gleaming so in about 1 month i can tell you how the paint comes up. I was on a tight budget and i am happy with the result. If you can lash out the extra cash then go for Standox, Spartan, PPG etc. Just buy a 20 litre drum of thinners it will be cheaper. Buying paint in bulk is always cheaper. Good luck.
