I am also looking into an inexpensive paint job for my van. I have heard that if you buy the paint here in the U.S. and take it down there you can
just pay for the labor. That way you get to pick the quality of the paint and make sure you get the color you want. Anyone done this before?

Here in La Paz, all the painting I have had done was with DuPont U.S. product.

i had a pickup painted in loreto and they used Dupont paint it was make in Mexico
and they didnt get any kind of break buying it so if you brought your own paint i think you could save a few bucks
$458.00 for primer white paint clear coat and peral and thinner for a toyota pick up and canope
yes i saw them mix and shoot the paint it all went on the truck total paintjob was $620.00 including stripping the hood and top to bare metal pretty
cheep i think at least for the labor

Well...........driving to Loreto for a paint job is not going to work out. The cost of gas alone would not make it worth the savings!
I was hoping to find a location in TJ....
