    Default Where can I get acrylic lacquer tinted

    Anyone know where I can get acrylic lacquer tinted at a reasonable cost? Preferably on the Central Coast NSW but can travel to Sydney if desperate enough.

    I’m happy to do the minor tints myself, but I feel the need for some really strong colours coming up.

    I want this done at a reasonable cost. How much should it cost to squirt some tint into a can (rhetorical question).

    So far I’ve found Supercheap Auto in West Gosford who charge $180 for 2 litres Also a place in Toukley that does auto paint (probably shouldn’t name it) that was cheaper but still ridiculous. I understand that their prices are high because they are in the auto business where alternative colours are legion and a tiny difference is catastrophic, but I’m not looking for that - just typical hardware store colour chart accuracy is OK by me.

    Anyone know ?

    Cheers

    Perhaps you could look at the cars around and choose a colour you like.
    eg Hilux ute white.
    Then go to a Toyota dealer and buy a litre or so of that colour.
    Only prob with this is that all current paints are 2 pack.

    Thanks for the reply. I didn’t know car dealers sold paint.
    In this question I was focusing on Acrylic Lacquer specifically, 1k as I don’t have the setup for 2k
