got some paint cheap - returned quart of ppg paint - silver (for stripes) $9. you might want to check local autopaint suppliers. supplier near me has section of return/no like the mixed color section for 75% off.

found this - they sell on ebay but havent tried the paint yet. gallon of auto paint under $50.

before and after my first paint/body work attempt (about $250-$300 in paint/gun/supplies/bondo). the front fender was not color sanded and looks lighter. has some orange peel, got some runs and tonal variations (needs more coats). just got the supplies to put 2 more coats of blue on and silver stripes. didnt know better and went with blue metallic pearlescent. was single stage at least.

told my neighbors the Neon was being turned into a race car. the 5 year old ran out and said thats not a race car - so needs the stripes
