I am awaiting my car to be finished at blaster then brought home. I have been watching graveyard cars and have learned a lot about the different colors of black (30degree) satin, gloss. Satin clear over some parts as well etc. I want to do as much of the right colors as possible for most of the car. I have looked at Eastwood's products and they are mostly house brand... What company would be a good place to find some of the spray paints (cans)? :shruggy:
Thanks,

I have used Krylon and they make most of the colors you will need.  They key to these or any paints working well is surface prep.  Everything being painted must be clean of any grease and rust free.  A good example is a tie rod end.  New from the auto parts it will have a light grease coating with rust in the pores of the metal underneath.  The part must be degreased then the rust stopped with a neutralizer then painted.  A good local automotive paint store may also have some products in stock that will match up for you.

Thanks for the tip. I ordered some paint online last night from Eastwood company and a 135 amp mig welder :2thumbs: I am getting ready to start cutting sheet metal off and welder in new in the next few weeks. I am trying to clean and paint some hardware now so I won't have so much for tumbler to do later.
