    Does anyone out there have a place they would recommend that I can buy some paint from, I have a new front bumper and I am quite capable of spraying it, but I need to get some paint ie:- Base coat Clear coat and the flexable addative (for the flexable bumper).

 

I have found one place on the internet, but would always rahter go with someones recommendation

any body shop supply center should be able to help you out,look in the yellow pages under auto body supplies,Ditzler,DuPont,R+M,all make what you are looking for,I am partial to DuPont thats what G.M. used to paint all our sharks,but the choice is up to you,if the paint on your car is original ,its lacquer if is been repainted it could be anything.drop into one of your local body shops and ask them where they get there stuff.

Yeah i think i would like to go for Du Pont i have only ever heard good things about them, as for it being original i doubt it,original color yes original paint no, all i am doing at the moment it trying to make it last one more year before the complete re-spray so i am going for shiney and would accept not a perfect match.

Gary,

 

I had the body shop spray on DuPont clear coat base coat black on my vette, it came out great! This was purchased from the local NAPA parts store.
