I'm after 1 litre of paint and 4 litres of thinners to do a quick spray job on my car. it's just to make the 3 silver panels the same colour as the rest of the car, and it'll just be a light spray job, made to last a month or 2.
can anyone recommend a place to get some nice cheap paint from? (acrylic, standard toyota colour code)
cheers

u reckon
from my understanding ur looking @ a few hundred 4 paint alone let alone thiners gloss and misc items 2 complete the job
old scout saying (i thik)
do it once , do it right
seriously save the bling and put it into better quality paint than you planned to use for the final job or somethigncustom like flaking

all I want is less attention from the police - driving an illegal car and such.
and multi-coloured panels is a good way to draw unwanted attention.
depends, of course, on how much time I can end up sparing - metal for the brain takes out next weekend

Draven, check out the front pages of the motoring section of the Trading post. There is a mob that sells paint called Concept, good enough price for reasonable paint. I am not sure of the details, as it has been a coupla years since I sourced paint through them. Hope this helps, and yeah I understand the *unwanted attention* part of running around with different coloured panels.
regards Chuck.

Yeah - its pretty cheap, and you can get most common factory colours. I chose a non-metallic royal blue so it won't require a clear coat making is pretty cheap to do a whole car - pr. around $250 with thinners + primer + paint. I'll be applying the paint hopefully in January and I'm a complete novice so I'll see how it goes.
