Re: [T3] what would you do?

Lori,

First and best question:  What type of paint?  You want a "urethane"
paint.  A single stage (has a clear coat mixed in with the color) will
do, since you're not asking for a show quality job (you are going to
Scheib...remember?).   

If you're a real stickler, ask him what type of paint system he is going
to use (manufacture of the paint products).  Then go to your local paint
retailer and have them mix up a factory color.  It will cost you more,
but you'll get the color you want and he can use the paint system he is
used to.  Try to get him to cut the cost of his materials since you are
supplying the paint!!
