I need some help on finding out where to buy some car paint (I already tryed the paint and body work forum), I need to find some paint in Florida, near Daytona, I'm painting my bumper, this is my first time, and I am going to test out my painting skills to see if everything comes out well, and if it does, then I'm going to paint the driver side rear fender and rear end. hear are some pics of the bumper, and the fender and rear end if everything comes out well.

Google TCPGlobal. They sell all kinds of generic auto paint cheap and will have it delivered right to your door.

However, assuming you're trying for a high quality result, you'll need to grind out the rust spots and bubbles, fill in the low spots from the grinding, fill in the chips, remove the decals, sand out the panel/bumper, and primer the repairs before painting. The paint and body forum has a nice video for beginners on basic refinishing.

I'm very happy with the paints i've gotten from paintscratch.com. I've ordered several different colors and they've all been spot on.

paintscratch.com or Napa... i've had very good success with both.

look in your yellowpages.. you may find some in there too - i found a gold mine of paint suppliers for cars when i looked a couple years ago. I've always been a fan of CMAX (Napa brand up here in canada, not sure if the name carries over to the states or not)...

you can go to the porsche dealer and get the color mix and take it to a paintshop and they can mix it for you
