Pro Painters; Help me With My Candy Paint Order for Long Bed Step Mahogany DECKED
Hey guys, im restoring a 70 chev, ive done an insane amount of body work and painting on the unsdeside/frame. Anyhow, I want to get my best bang for my buck paint wise and i think this can probably be done online.
ive included a 2 pictures (the teals) that are among the finishes im looking for, and the green is the color that im looking for, except I would like it to be darker like the 2 teals are. anyhow, i will be paying someone to paint it & i am simply ordering the paint. I was looking at house of kolor, which is where these colors were taken from, but I dont think i can get the materials for under $700 from their website. Maybe I am mistaken, but as I said, im not doing the painting, and i really dont know how much of what I need. I would like to keep my Materials (paint only) under $700, preferable around 500. Anyway, I would really appreciate some info and links if there are some good bros out there who know their products/prices and are good shoppers. Thanks in advance for any help! |

If you're dealing with someone else to paint it they maybe able to get a better deal through the dealer where they buy thier supplies. Usually the buy more stuff so they get a better discount than an individual.

talk to whoever is going to do the work is the best way to approach a project// if you force someone to use paint they have no experience with or that they dont like working with then all products failures squarely in your lap and the painter assumes no responsibility for the finished product

take the three pics you have above to your painter and ask him the same questions you just asked here ... I'll bet you a soft drink he can get it cheaper than you can.
