Cheep Paint supplies

Where should I be looking? I just spent $125 on some prep-sol, small tin of bondo, and some sandpaper. WTF? I like the guys at the local NAPA, but I dont need to put their kids through college! I am trying to build 2 rigs here!

Any place to look online? paper, tape, etc adds up Quick!

Don't know what stores you have locally, but Wal Mart even carries Bondo and paper. Other than the prepsol, all the other stuff you bought is generic and available everywhere. Around here, everything from Napa is gold plated. There are a number of online suppliers for auto body goods.

Most of the time you get what you pay for

I have done a number of paint jobs, (5) There is huge quality difference between a product like Rage gold bodyfiller and Bondo.

On the other hand Ive painted 3 cars using rustoleum. Depends on what you are trying to achieve.

I still recomend Rage Gold ($70 a gallon) vs Bondo. much easier to work with, longer lasting, easier to sand and shape.

I found this guy at the Charlotte Autofair last year. He is a super nice guy and has great prices compared to my local NAPA. I mostly have bought sandpaper from him and his stuff is as good if not better than anything I have bought elsewhere. He also has an online store.
