I do..... I get a college student discount which is better than the contractors and such get.

Let me know what you want and i'll see how much it is. Toss me a couple bucks for my time and shipping and we'll call it a day.

where are you located?

you can prob have it professionally done for just a little bit more $$$ than buying all the proper equipment yourself. if you do all the body work and send your car ready for primer and paint it really isnt expensive.

Go with the single stage paint Marcus...I let mine sit outside and it hardened up just fine, now it looks just as good as a 2 stage (bc/cc). Acrylic Urethane ftw. Any luck finding that Matrix System paint I was telling you about?

alpawal, I might be interested.

I have 2 cars that need painting, I might invest in some equipment depending on how tough it is.

The guy across the street from me paints for a living. I pretty sure he was talking about matrix iirc. Basically its very good paint, but isnt best for body repair because some times the color matches are perfect

my step dad has a downdraft paintbooth in west virginia and we both paint as a hobby.. plus the pros want a left nut even if you prep it yourself and give it to them to spray

I've been doing some bodywork lately. One of the sites I remember seeing paint on is Southern Polyeurathane? I don't know.

I'm also going to do a gunmetal type color, and one of the ones I like is the Toyota Camry. I'm not sure which year it is exactly, but it's newer.

Enamel. I used a clear but it just made ---- harder. Single stage no clear ftw.

I used a similar SS paint on my rex.
