What type of paint add you looking for?

I'm a painter by trade and use a few different places depending on what I want and type of paint.

What colour are you after? I resprayed my old HC in the original colour of tropic green, it was a metallic 2k paint I got from Nu Agane, the only format they could mix it in which is unusual as 2k metallic is very difficult to use.
Thats not a vindication of Nu Agane, Ive had very good products from them before and after that paint job.

Just a word of warning...if its a metallic colour you are after, be very wary of 2K metallics....

True, the old straight metalics ( No laquer on top) were a pig to use.Getting a decent finish without streaks or patches very difficult.Would be surprised if theyre still available.

Because of something my boss said regarding the new vehicle, I've been looking into the costs of vinyl wrapping. It looks a fair bit cheaper in some cases, and colors and designs/patterns are pretty much endless.
