It turns out that there's Dupli-Color at the O'Reilly auto parts down the street... going to visit tomorrow and cross my fingers that have both primers... I'm also hoping they have my blue in stock (royal blue preferably - no sky blues please) and my white.
I want the colors to pop and shine so I'm going to find someone to shoot the clear coat for me once I get the colors down. I'm wondering if I tape it all off and bring it all to a Maaco or the like if they'll do it for less than $100?? don't know... don't want to jump the gun...
first things first... filler primer, sand, and white primer... I'll have pics up next week...
thanks, Leroy!
91zulu... I went to home depot today and spent $20 on a can of white and had them try to mix a blue... no matter what they added, the blues all came out washed out... the guy tried three different times to match the blue I brought him (monokote royal blue) and he couldn't do it... I felt bad he did so much work so I bought the quart anyway... lol...
Sparky O'Reilly will have the primers but they may not have the Perfect Match, it's usually found at automotive paint stores and if clear coating you have to use a base coat, don't use anything else and there is a window of time to work with when doing urethane base coat/clear coat finishes, the two go together to make one. Do it wrong and you'll have a mess you don't want, you need to undrestand these finishes or it's best to go another route. Here is an example of what can be achieved when it's done right, but I have been doing it for years.
Good luck with yours, Leroy
