is it possible to get our factory paint put into a rattle can? or does anyone know where i can get a can of factory paint or close to it?

color im looking for is winning blue...

 

Go to nippon website, there's a drop down list on the top of the page, choose your car and the formula will be listed for you. Bring it to a nippon shop and mix or you could simply buy it from some sites ads in the forum.

 

or you can always airbrush...

 

I happen to be an expert and custom automotive refinisher. dont use anything out of a rattle can!!!
you see automotive paints are mixed and catylizer or (hardner)is added! rattle cans do not contain catalyzer otherwise you could use the can only once!! and its contents would turn hard. Without catalyzer in your paint it will not hold up over time!!!! leave the painting to the pros or you will be sorry!

 

or you could go here

thanks for the help

nice site to have on hand mugatu!

 

hey magatu... if i got the spray can from that site do you think i need to use thier clear coat and primer or will any brand do? i feel like i heard that some brands mixed with other brands cause cracking/pealing...

 

I get my auto paints from a local paint shop who has been mixing paints along time. names Bud Wilson of Bud's Auto colors Inc. out of Clute Tx. and does spray cans, but I personally prefer body touch ups either by body section if large or air brushing.Painted my own car but thats not practical for alot of people.If I can help on some advise in any way let me know, good luck

 

well im fg my whole trunk so i want to get that painted... but i should be ordering a body kit within a week so i might just get a shop to paint that aswell... if i get a shop to mix paint and put it in a rattle can how much should i be looking at 25$?

 

went to walmart today... they now stock house of kolor spray paint... anyone know what would match the winning blue better.... true blue or cobolt blue?

 

Oh noes...

 

oh snap, looks like I need to break out the scale models again lol

 

 

uh ok i sense being flamed what is the big deal if i use HOK paint?

 

If I understand what's going on correctly, my advice to you is to stop being so ******* cheap. Take your trunk and bumper to a paint shop and have it done right. It's going to cost money, but it's worth it. You have demonstrated that you're not capable of doing it properly and you will only be dissapointed in your results.

 

i wouldn't recommend mixing, as they stand behind their products. I also wouldn't recommend using Kmart paint in trying to get 'close' to Winning Blue. That's just crazy talk.

You haven't mentioned what you are intending to paint. I wouldn't do any do-it-yourself painting for anything beyond small pieces like strakes, up to maybe mudflaps or something. I would never even entertain the idea of doing something as big as a bumper, because you'll never get the even coverage that a professional shop would get.

just my 2 cents.

 

being cheap? im painting fg parts i build for my trunk. and your attiude just makes you look like a dick


for those who DONT understand what im doing...
i'm fiberglassing my whole trunk. therefore i do NOT need a perfect match, as before i painted my sub boxes with different paint that were satisfying temporarily.

i stated that i was going to paint my FG pieces i built, BUT im getting a body kit soon so i figured maybe i should get the shop to paint my FG pieces ASWELL. NEVER did i mention i was going to paint my own body kit, that is flat out retarted, especially with a rattle can.

ps thanks magatu for the info i will prally order from that site.

 

I am a dick, there's no mistaking that.

 

Ahh.... big misunderstanding, I almost became a dick but BlueEyes beat me to it.

 

Well it's better than being Dickless
