I was quoted RM 200+ from beater panel workshops, just to spray the bumper alone (and another one quoted me RM 380 for spraying 2K paint and fixing of bumper, which I not willing to pay so high for just spraying the bumper)

So I want to know where can I get automotive paint and spray it for myself,

and what else do I need to prepare for spraying bumper? I think I also need rough sand paper to remove the old paint first.

Need suggestions and feedback, thanks so much!

I just spoken to one of my friend.
When he wanted to respray his car , he would buy the automotive paint from his friend which works with Nippon Paint, and then sents it to the workshop to spray. He said he did save some on the overall costs, but not vastly.

Can do I like this --> Buy the paint from a local hardware shop..and then pass it over to the workshop? I know the panel beater shop may profit some from using their own paint, thought I can save from this one. (I'm the type of person which likes to buy own parts and if possible..DIY fix em' )

Yeah I agree with your above statement too; I didn't realise that it needs oil too..and also the oven curing room.

I feel paying RM 200 over is highly priced. I got this pricing around Sunway/Subang area. I really need to go to PJ or Old Klang Rd where it's cheaper.

Yeah, I'll let people do that..if it's reasonably priced. I believe there is somewhere which is "cheap & good" from honest people.

Maddriver, yeah I've heard of him,heard he's now located around Shah Alam right, does he still have his workshop in Singapore?
