I was moving down my repair laundry list, and I was wondering where I would be able to buy the Cayman Green in bulk when I finish some of the rust repair. Most of what I have seen is what they sell in the cans, but I am looking more for what I might use for a regular paint sprayer since most of the vehicle will need repainting.

Any real paint shop will just custom make the color. They can make it in whatever form you want, ie single stage vs base and clear coat.
 






How much would it cost normally per oz. of paint?
 






I’ve only ever purchased it by the pint and quart. I’d expect $50ish for touch up volumes, and $1-400 for the paint for a vehicle, depending on the type, and color.

If you are to the point where most of the vehicle needs repainted, I’d just do a complete respray. It’s look better, and probably be less work overall.

It takes a considerable amount of clean air to paint. That, and prep work are what really pay off. You can fix a lot of the errors in spraying after the fact.
