Valspar paint, anybody use it ? Looking for reasonably priced paint to use on my C4. Not a showcar. Driver/drag car. I am seeing paint from $69/gallon to $600. Looked at Autopaintdirect.com and checked out Valspar, prices are good.

I don't care for it. You don't want to do this again in a few years do you??
I like PPG, or R&M.

Thats a deal. I have been looking at HOK, I keep finding all these pearls candies and metalics. I just want plain Torch red. Do they sell normal colors ? Where do you buy it ??

I went to the site. Nice site with a lot of good stuff. Red was $90+ per quart though.
