View Full Version : 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:oo: 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
