Default Redfire paint?

Hey guys do you know where I could find some redfire paint? I have a GT bumper and sideskirts Im going to get painted by a family friend and he told me to buy the paint and he will do it for free. I just cant seem to find anywhere that sells it online or anything. Or is there some type of store I go to? Any help or tips is greatly appreciated.

I like PPG stuff- Deltron basecoat/clearcoat is great stuff- any local bodyshop supply house should be able to mix it- dont be suprised if its around $100 a pint + clear/and additives...cost me 400 just for paint to do the door/fender on the wifes van

Automotive paint does not come premixed. You have to go to a auto paint supply house. Tell them the year and model and they can pull out a formula and mix it up. You will also need to get strainers, reducer, and flex additive for the plastic parts. Depending on your part of the country you may need additives to accelerate the drying time and possibly hardener. I don't know how bad pricing and regulations are in Georgia, but Ford4v429 is correct, it's not going to be cheap. Out here in California it's just plain crazy what they charge for paints. I painted cars back in the 80's when I could get a gallon of auto paint for $50. Now it's like $500.

About how much you think I will need for a GT bumper and GT sideskirts?
