G'day,
I went and got a quote for some metallic blue paint yesterday from a paint shop in Ipswich... wondering if this price sounds good, and if anyone knows what the quality of the paint is like...

The brand name is either Unicryl or Unique Acrylic.

4L of colour
4L of primer
4L of clear
4L of stripper
20L of thinners

$315 all up

That will be enough of everything to do a car yes?

Robbo

You can get a lot more outta ya paints if you are prepared to mix them thin and apply carefully.

I'm hoping 4 L of primer will do my car but I'm having some doubts.
