color matching

Pull your door and take it into almost any paint store... They can match it and put it in a can for you. td

I know crappytire and parts quest (?) up here do sell selected colours by the gallon, mind you these are just the simple 2 part paint & hardener, although car quest just might carry the epoxy stuff too. Years ago I painted a small (16') runabout sail boat with aircraft paint.. turned out pretty good and still looks good even though it has sat uncovered since then.

...more like a whole *bag* o' salt! LOL

I used to work in an automotive paint store that sold Dupont Paint. We could either mix the paint with the Manufacturer code or color match it with a portable matching computer gizmo that we would just hold on to a clean part of the paint to match and the computer would come up with a formula that would be about 95% accurate. Then after the paint was mixed up in small quantities we could pump this paint in to pre-presurized and pre-thinned paint cans (different cans for acrylic or lacquer paint).

We had such a reputation in our surounding area that we would have a guy during the summer time that would be pumping paint in cans for about 5-6 hours/day. Nowadays most automotive paint stores have these can/pump setups and prices have came down alot because everyone sells them!

Nate,

Check the yellow pages for an automotive paint supply store that also mixes it's own. I bought custom rattle cans years ago just by taking my paint code in and asking for it. The cost was not really that much and color was close.
