Okay its me again and sorry if I keep asking stupid questions lol, but like I said in my paint gun thread I'm looking to paint my car but I can't find a place where I can get these colors. Patriot red metallic and magnetic red metallic are the two colors I like and I can't seem to find either one. Does anyone know where I can get these paints? Or does anyone know of any paint colors that are close to these and where I can get some?
Thanks again with all my newb questions

HOK is cheaper than Dupont, but Dupont mixes 1 to 1 so a gallon makes 2 sprayable gallons. HOK is 2 to 1, so a gallon only makes 1.5 sprayable gallons. Just call NAPA with those paint codes and see if you can get it in Crossfire(Martin Senour).

What is crossfire? Is that a brand? I'll see what options I can come up with if it makes a big difference I might just go with a different color all together..

Dupont makes Nason too. It is there cheaper paint. Napa carries it besides the dupont. I just bought 1 gal. Patriot Red metallic, 1 gal. reducer, 1 gal.clear and hardner in Nason from Napa. It cost me 350.00. It was all on sale and a small company discount. After reducing it will give you 2 gal. of paint. Hope this helps.

yes the nason is cheaper but its not a 1:1 mix its actually 8:1/2:2 so you actually get 1.5 gallons sprayable and the colors are not as vibrant nor do they cover as well the nason clear is decent

Use quality paint,dupont,spies hecker,ppg,sherwin willams,sikkins.I personally like spies hecker the best it does mix 2:1 but covers great,lays down nice,use slow reducer with whatever u get though.
