Im looking to begin the bodywork on my 74 Trailduster and now that I moved to the Lodi California area I would like some reconmendations on where to shop for paint and supplies. I am not opposed to shop online for budget minded supplies but it seems my previous go to online suppliers are no longer in business. Does anyone have nay reconmendations?

Used to be tiers depending on population, CARB & bureaucracy level. Call the local paint jobber and see if you can get solvent-based paint or if they'll only sell waterborne. Solvent-based is less expensive & easier to work with in most respects.

I have been using a lot of Nason paint and it seems to be really decent. Here is a link to a place where I have been buying primers. I also use their hot rod black which lays down real nice. http://www.urekem-paints.com/
