where to get paint

[macey43]

true, well they could match it to what's left of the factory paint i guess

if you take them the parts then you run a chance of them not matching. the body will be faded out and the bumpers will look brand new

this is true, really depends on how fvcked up your paint is or how good it looks, a full compound with a wheel may be in order, but hey it will all look better in the long run.

Speaking of finding paint. I did a temporary fix on my rear bumper and was just going to rattle can it to make it less noticeable (just primer right now.) But it is impossible to find galaxy silver in a rattle can haha. LOOKED EVERYWHERE.

Aerosol's will NEVER match, even if they are the same paint code. My brother used to work for a local paint supplier that mixed aerosols to people's paint codes. They informed every person that asked for it that it was not going to match because of the way the aerosol worked.

Once there was a guy who came in and insisted he wanted the aerosol and that it was going to match, that they didn't know what they were talking about. Well a week later he came back and you could clearly see what he sprayed with the aerosol and he was *****ing about it not matching up.

A guy I work with did the same thing. He fixed a few areas on his green Jetta. He put the spots in primer then went and got aerosol even after I had already told him it wasn't going to match. Well when he finally did it, his car looked like a green leapord. The spots were clearly noticable, even though the paint was mixed to his paint code.
