    Default Paint mixed in pressure packs

    I just called Autobarn to price cans of spray paint mixed on site to your paint code, $32.
    Does anyone know of other companies that do the same thing for a better price? I will need four or five, plus plastic primer, plus clear coat. Starts to add up pretty quick. I'm in Bundaberg, where there aint a lot of choice, maybe paint shops or Bunnings? Cheers guys. Edit: Just phoned Bunnings- they don't do it.

    what exactly are you painting? at those prices you might as well get it done by a shop.

    You can usually tell the difference in quality when it comes to backyard spray can jobs compared to a $200 spray from a shop.

    but if your absolutely keen, why not.. good experience. Try auto-one. I'm not sure if it will be any cheaper anywhere else.

    good luck
    Check out my ride!
