How to paint a car in your garage. Options

I have finished the How to paint in your garage document, it is in PDF format, but I'm not sure of the best way to put it on the forum for distribution. Any ideas?

Nason = $20.00 per quart
Dupont Chroma base = $60 .00 per quart ( and is just as thin)
Spies Hecker = $85.00 per quart (very thick)

These are all Dupont products and are Va. prices. I use Dupont base and Spies base and clear damn near every day, and can assure yo Spies is well werth the extra price for a nice job. I recently painted a Fiat and used over a gallon of Nason on it where 2.5 - 3 quarts of Spies would have done the job.Nason is a decent paint just VERY thin so it takes more. In the end it will still be a cheaper job $$ wise but you will have spent more time. Easy way to describe is Nason and other cheaper paints are skim milk, and Spies and other higher priced paints are whole milk. Not at all BAD paints just thinner,which definitely helps on the wallet. Material cost on that Fiat was around 300.00, if it had benn Spies it would have been around 800.00. Those are just the base and clear prices, primers would have added about $500.00 more.
