right looked line here and I can get all that for less then $200.
that is going away way from firms like DuPont,custom colour.
not being rude but would you be able to use high end paints?

Rude...no chance of that with me. I'm looking for the most forgiving paint I can find. So it will be base coat clear coat. I figure I can sand and sand till I get it as good as whatever makes me happy or until I get sick of sanding. Like I've said in the past, I'm looking for a 30/30 paint job. Good from 30 ft or 30 mph (10 meters and 50 kph).
Yeah, I know, Shut up Dave.

I checked out the site right after you posted it. That's why the sticker shock hit me so hard. I don't see anyone getting close to their prices.

hi,i would give that suppliers a try.
what conditions are you spraying in? if anything other then a booth take care.
if your in your garage,poly sheet every walls damp floor.if you have a cple of fans,place them so they pull air out. suck rather then blow across the car.you'll embed dust/bugs by blowing from behind car. if you do get bugs leave them alone ,till dry.then pick off.little legs don't show as much as a swat mess.
look at hardeners spec,or phone and ask if they contain polyisocyanates.
iso.will wreck your lungs,with out proper air fed mask.
my advise is don't use it .go for the single stage kit.
