Default Best place to buy paint?

Hey-

I'm looking to do some accessory painting and have been trying for a few days to find a good place to buy paint.

I'm looking for a gallon of Torch Red (D3) paint. Any thoughts?

Thanks in advance for the help!

A gallon? noooo, you're not painting the whole car are you? Most accessories will require adhesion promoter, then primer, then base and clear. For the cost for you to buy all this material (you'll have a lot left over) you are better off getting a good shop to paint your accessories. The adhesion, finish, color match, etc.will be better and the cost not much different; than if you try this.

I need a gallon because I wanted to paint other stuff to match the car, such as my mailbox, model car, etc etc.

Do you have heated dust free environment that is well lit, water separation air supply, means to exhaust excess spray, quality gun and most of all ethe xperience in applying these materials? If not, save yourselfthe unnecessary aggravation/frustration and get a price on doing all of your accessories.
