Default Place to buy paint supplies?

Anyone recommend a place to buy automotive painting supplies? Either a chain store or online. Looking for a good balance of quality and cost. By supplies I mean primer, base, clear etc.

I can check tomorrow but we have a "sister" company - NCS that does nothing but paint and body. Need to see if they have a location near you.

Try this website : TCP Global - Quality & Service Since 1974
They sell everything from paint guns to masking supplies to paint. Bought items from them before, very nice company.
You didn't mention what you were painting. Are you doing an overall paint job or trying to color match a body panel?
You can try www.eastwood.com also. They have a lot of paint, body and restoration tools.
Hope it helps, Dan

Thanks for the recommendations guys. I am going to start with small projects like bumpers and such and hopefully move up to painting entire cars.

I checked and there isn't a NCS (national coatings & supply) there. We do have a parts/paint store near you?

I have heard carquest is decent for paint, would you agree Scott? I am a little ways off from starting painting. Looking to get the powder coating up and running first.

Oh and one thing I forgot, since you are serving - you get a discount, I forget the % but I know we just put that in place about a week or two ago.

and somebody has a special day coming next week

Good to know. I usually forget when I go to places that do though.
