Default Where do you get your paint?

I've got a 2004 Yukon (tow rig) that I'm wanting to repaint a few faded areas on. 41, 8555, GBA, WA8555. Wondering where you guys get your paint from at a reasonable price.

Thanks

Any local autobody supply store. It can be bought on the internet, but often has haz mat charges. It is a bit of a personal preference thing, most people go PPG or Axalta (formerly DuPont) but there are other options out there like Matrix, Valspar, House of Color, Sherwin Williams etc all have some local stores, but PPG and Axalta are most common.

I know you can get it cheaper locally but if not doing all over paint I usually order from automotivetouchup dot com... their paint is premixed ready to spray and their color matches have been perfect on everything. I even had a silver metallic hood on a 10 year old bmw that matched perfect with no blending needed...plus it comes right to my door... Summit has a high solid clear that isn't bad, sprays well, but can't say for long term durability yet.

I've switched to SPI paints for use at work &my own stuff, whenever I can back to it. Can get direct if you don't have an spi jobber in your area. Prices are good for the quality of it & has a good forum on their website.
They don't have a full color line of basecoat or single stage paint, but their primers & clears are well liked.
