where are you guys getting your paint kits from? i hear PPG is a decent brand but where do you buy it at(my local NAPA doesnt carry it)? dupli-color is the only paint i can buy locally but i rather look for something a bit better.

For the record, it's pretty hard to paint a car on your own with professional quality/durability. I used to work in the auto paint industry. Unless you've got an oven to bake paint out in, the durability will suffer. It's a bit easier to paint interior pieces, but still not a simple DIY project.

Unless of course you were referring to touch-ups...
