online auto paint supplies

[tigmusky]

hi all, I'am working on a John Deere model A 1939 tractor. Well I'am getting close to painting it . I've been searching for a online paint supplies , found a few but they all look the same. Do you have any good recommendtions ?
locally , Napa and o'reilly don't sell paint any more,well they do but very limted. Napco sell PPG witch is great. the cost is alittle insane.

Thanks, Daye

Try asking your PPG jobber about Omni/Shopline,which is their economy brand.
Thing about buying local is if you have a problem or a question,a reputable local jobber is a phone call away with the answer.

Is this a show tractor? The John Deere dealer near me, has paint and reducer. Anything else that you need, you can pick it up at an autobody supplier.

I have to add another vote for the Shopline, which admittedly is on the low end of the automotive paint scale, but still so far above hardware store paints it's not even funny.

Even though Shopline is inexpensive, I was amazed how much easier it was to do a good job with a real paint. I'm not a painter by any stretch of the imagination but I felt like I could produce credible work with it without spending hundreds of dollars on paint.

I redid this Miller Bobcat with Shopline a couple years ago... you wouldn't want to have a show car with this kind of finish on it, but I think what I accomplished was easily the equivalent of what this machine had on it when new. A before and after:

wow....tons of good sites in this thread...thanks!

??? There are four John Deere dealers within 25 miles of you...can't find any there? I'd be surprised if you can get it cheaper than there once you factor in shipping and such. Just a thought...
