    Default Best place to buy autobody paint around atlanta.

    I need to buy colored primer(1 gallon not reduced), basecoat(2 pints ready to shoot) and a clearcoat(1 gallon with hardener and reducer) for a project I'm working on.

    I'm only interested in Sherwill Williams and Dupont products.

    Anybody knows a place around Gwinnett that gives good deals even if you are not a shop ?

    I'm gonna call the local Dupont and Sherwill tomorow and see what the prices are. If you have any experience in dealing with a store and want to recommend or the oposite, id like to hear it

    Thanks !

    why buy basecoat ready to spray? just buy base and reducer. Why do you need colored primer?

    I get all my paint for autocolor. They have about 10 store around atlanta. Not sure of any in gwinnett but here's the website. http://www.autocolor.com/weekly-specials.html

    Why are you only interested in Sherwill Williams and Dupont?

    I use ppg, omni, pro-spray, house of kolors and have never had a problem with them.

    I wouldnt say prospray or pgg or HOK is cheap, but omni, yes its less expensive. Its a line of PPG and thats what i started off using and have never had problems with it.

    If you want it to match perfectly, that will have nothing to do with it. Use a mixing cup. Basecoat is usally 1:1 mix ratio but varies on brand, ex. HOK base is 2:1. Having it perfectly match has to deal with how good the guy is mixing the basecoat, and quality of paint.

    Keep calling or just stop buy the store.
