    Nothing for nothing, but if you are opening a bodyshop and you dont know who supplies paint around your area, you are in big trouble :pcorn:
    Good luck
    BTW most paint manufactures websites have links to locate jobbers based on zipcode

    If that is the case, then contact the paint manufacturer directly and let them know that you are unable to purchase the products from their suppliers. Maybe they will be able to get someone out to you then.

    I have used pretty much everything in the pass from sherwin williams to PPG but at this point I could use anything. I would like to set up my shop with both solvent and waterborne paint. My spray booth is going to be set for solvent or waterborne paint.
    Thanks Ben

    Have you tried Hawleys Paint in Santa Rosa? They sell all the dupont lines. But I think you are going to have to bite the bullet and go pick your paint up in Santa Rosa or have it shipped. I am trying to get a dupont system in my little shop that I am painting out of in Santa Rosa but they wont sell solvent basecoat since I live in Santa Rosa and I cant afford to set things up for a waterborne system nor do I want to. I am not a fan of waterborne stuff. I really like the chromabase system but I have to buy it from private parties because I have a Santa Rosa address. I would be interested in some type of collaberation with you in some way so that we could buy things in larger quanities in order to get better prices, and maybe work something out with you as far as picking things up for you in exchange for some assistance with my problem of not being able to obtain solventborne due to my known address.

    Hawley’s in Santa Rosa is great. Dupont

    Talley’s in Napa. PPG

    Ned’s has several stores around the bay area. PPG

    There’s a NAPA store in Cloverdale that”s pretty good too. Not sure what paint they carry now.
