Looking for better quotes than what I've got on PPG line sealer, paint, and 3M tape and whatever kind of paper.. also Evercoat Rage filler.

I was quoted around $100 for tape/paper (tape from walmart, etc.. $40 for all the paper i'd need)

Then.. about $40 a can for the Rage..

And, about $350-400 for a gallon of PPG sealer (w/ hardener, etc), and a quart of paint to tint it.

What are you trying to do? Just spray the truck in sealer for a while? If so, I'd go the Transtar route. Gallon of sealer can't run over $100ish. I use the green tape(the most expensive stuff), which is about $6 a roll for 1.5", and $3 a roll for 3/4". I'd get 2 rolls of each, as well as a roll of green 36" paper. Check with your local carquest paint store if there's one near you. They have pretty good prices

I will definitely check Carquest! He said to get rolls of 3/4" and 1.5".. I'll browse around for cheapest on those and the paper.

He's going to shave a few things and seal it for me for a while, (tinted a blue color), will Transtar be good quality? He said he uses all PPG at the shop he works at, and just sprayed a car with the lower quality paint from PPG and didn't like it as well as the higher priced stuff. They quoted him like $150 cheaper for the lower quality (but still PPG) stuff.. would that or Transtar be better?

Thanks for the help man!

I know the cost of the PPG sealer for my truck was under $300 and it's 2 diff colors.

Could you let me know exactly the type or if it has a reference # I could mention to him? Your truck looks great.. so that'd be better.

What color blue is that?

you need PPG k93, color you want to tint with,PPG ncx255 activator.
whynotfab   +1y
Which of those is the sealer, and which is the color? Thanks for the help!

k93 is the primer /sealer, ncx255 is the activator. you can get a dmd series color to add to the k93.

350-400 a gallon?!?!? my god. use HOK at that cost. HOK is cheaper than that by far.

theres a site thats like kustom kulture.com or something like that, its a full on HOK site. you can use that stuff and get off WAY cheaper than using PPG stuff, and good quality.

you should easily be able to do a s10 with a quart and a half bec ive done fullsize cars like a monte carlo with 2 qts. i wana say the dp is like $55 a qt here im not sure how much the dp402(activator) a roll of paper is like $15-20 and you will prolly spend 15-20 on tape if u are 2 tonin it. u should be able to do everythin for around $200, oh yeah dp can be cleared over if u ever wanted to make it permanent
