Georgia Flash Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 Has anyone tried the Duplicolor Paint Shop brand paint? I saw it advertised yesterday on one of the car shows on tv and went to their website today. http://www.duplicolor.com/products/paintshop.html It looks like the paint dries a little dull by looking at their pictures of the finished product. The thing I like about the paint is that it comes pre mixed ready to go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifaThugz Posted April 3, 2007 Share Posted April 3, 2007 I like it. I want to try that is it expensive paint? I'm on a really tight budget. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DatsunBoy77 Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 No, pretty cheap. I work at advance auto, and we carry a few colors in stock. I have been wanting to see if the "hugger orange" looks in person. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifaThugz Posted April 4, 2007 Share Posted April 4, 2007 Advanced Auto Parts? What would I have to ask for to get me get a couple buckets for my cars? If I get some I'll be sure to paint my car as soon as possible and post some pictures to give you the final product of what you were wondering.

Georgia Flash Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Went to my local Advance Auto Parts store last night and bought the "Jet Black," primer and clear coat. I will be starting my home paint job this Friday morning when I get off of work. I was just going to put another coat of epoxy primer on the car and had already bought some more to do the job and then I saw this stuff advertised. Now I will go ahead and lay down another coat of epoxy followed by the Duplicolor primer and then the top coat of jet black followed by the clear coat. I will as always show the pictures once I am done. By the way this stuff costs me $19.88 a quart. The only other color in stock at this particular store was the Performance Red. Keep you posted.

Georgia Flash Posted April 4, 2007 Author Share Posted April 4, 2007 Well that would be ok I guess, that would give me more time to do some sanding and prep work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifaThugz Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 How much time would it take for this paint to dry have you check? I don't have a garage to paint so I'm going to have to paint outside and I don't want it to get windy and ruin my whole car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifaThugz Posted April 5, 2007 Share Posted April 5, 2007 Wait what the hell there is no Advanced Auto Parts in California? I was looking through the locate an advanced auto parts but they're all in the more eastern states. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CalifaThugz Posted April 6, 2007 Share Posted April 6, 2007 Can anyone give me a link that gives me a number to where I can call so I can get me some paint? None of the stores near me carry those... so I'm going to need to call and buy off the phone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Georgia Flash Posted April 6, 2007 Author Share Posted April 6, 2007 Doesn't Advance Auto have a web site that you can place orders on? Looks like I may not be painting today afterall. I just got home about an hour ago and it is 38 degrees here in GA. It will warm up a little later on today though I may see what I can do.

CalifaThugz Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 They probably do but I'm all the way in california... I'm afraid of what the shipping might cost for 8 quarts of blue metallic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CalifaThugz Posted April 7, 2007 Share Posted April 7, 2007 You know I was looking through Advanced auto parts... and I'm horrible at looking for things but I couldn't find on their website if they sold any by quarts. I only found spray cans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Georgia Flash Posted April 13, 2007 Author Share Posted April 13, 2007 Well I finally got around to painting my car with the Duplicolor Jet Black. I started around 3:00pm and finished around 3:00am! I will have to take more pictures when I can get it out in the sun. I already know I missed a couple of spots but I did not find them until I ran out of black! I still have to do my hatch door so I will get around to buying another quart or two in a couple of days. Here are some pics that I took tonight. Overall I am pretty pleased with my first attempt at laying down a top coat. It does have orange peel but I think that I can wet sand that out when I get some time. I will try to take some more pictures out in the sun when I get up today before I head off to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
