[QUOTE="Hemikiller, post: 349760, member: 25"] I wouldn't bother with an auto body shop. Pick a paint manufacturer, such as PPG, RM/BASF, Dupont etc, and hit their webpage up for the location of a distributor. They can scan the car right there and mix up paint while you wait. We have two supply houses local and each one carries a different paint. One's a PPG house, the other sells RM/BASF. Both will do the rattle cans of base coat for about $25. If you go the rattle can route for the clear, stay away from the acrylic, make sure you get the 2K urethane. I tried the acrylic and the gloss level is meh at best.

Even the el-cheapo HVLP gravity feed gun I bought from HF worked fine for the wheels. [/QUOTE]
