Do we have any good suppliers of paint and primer locally? any that give us a discount?
In the past I've used urethane automobile primer and paint applied with HVLP gun .. came out great .. a bit pricy. Are there better options these days .. I've been away a while. I'll likely be using Silver, White and a little Black.
it'll be about 60 sq ft of surface to paint.
Thanks,
Steve

You might check with Allen Paint on South Broadway in Denver. They carry 5-Star brand auto paint, which is a "fleet-grade" paint--lots less expensive than DuPont or PPG, or House of Kolor. I have used it, and it seems to be pretty good stuff.
They also have some Sherwin-Williams auto paint, which is a bit pricier.
I've gotten automotive paint at a little shop on Main in Longmont (can't remember the name, though). It's on the west side, near 1st.
I'm with Ken on this - I've gotten a great deal of advice from the little PPG paint shop on Main in Longmont as well as decent pricing. They also stock wet/dry sand paper from 80 grit up through 1800 grit in bulk packs at good prices. I use the HVLP setup I have for everything except when I'm spraying high-solids Kilz primer to fill in deep scratches.
