Car paint

So in the end isurance is gonna **** me over, they wanna consider my car a total loss. They said since with the damage they could only sell it for 2300 bux thats all its worth.

Anyway im gonna do the paint work myself, gonna sand it all down, primer, flat black and clear coat it. Im gonna pick up a air painter thing for my air compressor. Can anyone guide me on to where i can get paint to use?

Based on this line, I assume you have never painted before, make sure you do your homework, many mistakes can be made.

Alot of the NAPA's carry paint supplies, if there is one near where you live, go ask them, if they dont carry any supplies they will most likely know who does. Advance Auto Parts, and AutoZone both can get paint, but in limited colors, like only 8 or so colors. You can also try to goto a body shop and ask them where they get their paint and supplies, or if they mix their own paint, you can see about purchasing some from them directly. Hope this points you in the right direction, remember to do you homework on painting first!
