So I am making a rather long to-do list and paint is going to be inevitably on my list. So far I've only found 1 source with the sovereign gold and they want 500 dollars a gallon for it. I haven't shopped for paint much but that seems kind of excessive so I am just curious to know where people in this region are sourcing paint for keeping colors as stock as possible.

 

try these folks - https://www.automotivetouchup.com/to...87/all-models/

 

That is the one place I was able to find it so far, they're about 500 a gallon though and that price just seems kinda steep.

I may settle for something about like this instead when it comes time to paint it, unless I find a better option.

 

You don't want to buy cheap paint unless you're going to sell the car & don't mind screwing over the buyer. DO NOT put acrylic enamel on your car. Use a base/clear urethane or if it's a solid non-metallic color single stage urethane is fine. A cheap paintjob will DEVALUE the car $500 to $1,000, because it will add that much labor to the job when it's time to do it right.
I typically spend $1800 to $2500 on primer & paint alone for the cars I paint. Only cheap GOOD paint I've found is Dupont Nason - it holds up pretty well.
Look for your local autobody supply & they will be able to mix the correct color using the paint code on your car. The best paint is Sikkens or PPG.
HTH,
