Paint Shop help/advice? Where to buy paint by the quart?

Sup everyone - I'm looking to pant a spoiler and need either:

-to buy some paint by the quart

-to get OEM paint pre-mixed in rattle-cans

-to find a shop which would paint a spoiler for a reasonable price (dunno what going rates are, but they're probably higher than I remember)...

It's the first time i've needed to do this in HI so I'll need your help!

Shoots!

Do you not come on this Forum and see that everyone refers people to Okaʻs. I guess you are just one of those guys...I give up!

The policy for NAPA is to give a miliary discount for automotive paint. I would get it in the mainland but, in Hawaii the NAPA guy told me they don't honor that here don't know why good luck.

actually yeah - I like diy's and I think it means more to do it myself since it's part of a gift and not a critical show piece; i've painted before, just don't have my portable downdraft booth, or any of my equipment in island (I did some pretty wicked paint work for motorcycles / pocket bikes before I moved here)

nope, non-military :-/ but may be able to bring the part in w/someone who is (already lined up perhaps), but the booth doesn't have a gun of it's own. fwiw, i'd have Oka's look at it (if I can afford it, been spending like i'm a baller or something lol)

still, I need a project - hands itching to wrench, have **** lined up, no place convenient to do it all :FTL:
