Where is the best current place to buy Pactra racing finish everyone is using? Can't find it at any stores, and not really finding a definite source online.
Anyone know a valid link where i could order some cans?
Thanks guys.

Just look up pactra tint spray, ebay, or other online hobby shops should have it for like $5 a can.

So when i get bored I just read through threads, and im surprised every tint job on here has been done with that pactra stuff more or less.
The first time i did mine i used some spray tint from a hobby store, decent stuff but it faded some after a year.
About two months ago I had my buddy spray them out of his gun with a mix of clear coat and black paint, and they look absolutely amazing. All we did before spraying was clean them really good and I know for sure they wont fade since its car paint with like 6 layers because he mixes it so light.
Idk just thought Id throw that idea out there for anyone who has or know someone who has a paint gun.

Ok, i must have done mine the hard way then, i did my 86 suburban and 07 mustang by mixing black toner into clear coat and sprayed it thinned out until they were as dark as i wanted them. They look pitch black until you hit the lights and then you cant tell there was anything ever done to them
