The cheapest place I've found for sandpaper is Ebay, assuming you can afford to wait a week or 2. You'll need to know your local costs to buy intellegently on eBay.
As far as paint and primer, I think you will find that the big companies strongly suggest prices to their dealers and you will not find a gread deal of difference. Now you can go on the internet and find automotive paint for $35 a gallon but is is not comparable to the good stuff. For the economy-minded painter, the PPG Omni line seems to be about the best value.
PPG does prohibit their dealers from selling mail order outside their terratories.

Thanks for the tip, I checked Ebay before I even posted. I check ebay for alot of stuff. Im using a single stage paint, acrylic laquer. Im economy minded, but I also would like quality as well. I changed my color anyways because of the fact that my previous color won't last as long as I wanted it to. So I chose Corvette Millenium Yellow. I would like to use Dupont, other people are saying PPG. I know both are good companys. My brother in law recommends Dupont because he works for Dupont in our local GM plant. I could prolly get a discount, but I have to buy it in a 50 gal drum...so if peepz want to go in with me..lol. just kidding
