Our home town had two body shop supply sources for years. One sold DuPont and the other Ditzler/PPG. Both have closed and the nearest source is now an hour and a half drive.
Do any of you folks know of an online source for quality primers, high builds, and finish paints?
Poking around the internet I found TCP Global. Their product line is called Restoration Shop and I wonder about the quality of those products.
Anyone have a favorite online source and product line?
Any thoughts would be much appreciated! | | | | | Joined: Oct 2005 Posts: 4,249 "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!! | | "Hey! I sound like Darth Vader!!

They list 16 locations in Michigan on their website

I've used the NAPA/M-S epoxy primer with good results.
You might check with your local Carquest or NAPA stores about paint. O'Reilly can also get PPG products, but they will probably will have to order it in. I suppose Carquest and NAPA may have to do the same.

It’s decent paint, the’ll ship it to your house and it’s reasonable priced.

For a more local source to you, Auto Rod Technologies is in SW Michigan, they carry the SPI line as well as other bases, and can mix/match colors for you. I just ordered from them the day before Christmas and had the paint here in Maryland in 3 days.
