OEM paint
Problem... called the dealer today because I'm finally fixing the scratch I got a while back, and I asked to order some paint for my buddy thats going to fix it and they could only get 2 oz of paint at a time. He said it was $8 and came in a nail polish sized bottle. I know he is going to need more paint than that... when I say scratch I mean scratch. He needs enough to spray with. Where is a good place to go to get more than 2 oz of paint? I went to Duplicolor and they had no 2007 cars listed, so I couldn't color match my car. I don't even know if thats where I should go... so confused.
My color code is 1F8. Thats all I know. |

PPG paints website, or go to ebay for the Car spray paint and "ask seller a question" about your specific car color code. make sure you wetsand and mask off the area in an indiscriminate manner ( don't do a square, or it will be REALLY OBVIOUS, no matter how close the paint color is).

I did search Chris (you smartass... nice picture haha). Everything on this board was in reference to small amounts of touch up paint... I needed a pint, not a couple ounces. Luckily someone referred me to a good mixer and I already got it, one pint for metals and one for plastics. Woot!

In case anyone is interested, you can get a spray can kit for plastics from PaintScratch.com for 78 bucks shipped. I'll be painting the silver plastic around my head unit and A/C controls to match the exterior. I'll post pictures next weekend.

BTW - I have ordered lots of interior matched paint from them before.. Perfect match and great service, but PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE wear a resperator when spraying!! Not the cheap paper ones, but one with a replaceable filter! Even though its in a rattle can, this is not like regular spray paint!!! No joke here fella's, be safe and smart.

Yeah, luckily I won't be painting anything. I'm removing the dash trim and the rear badge and having them sprayed with the giant gash down my side skirt.
