who makes factory colors in a spraycan
Im in the process of cleaning out my front trunk. I removed all the wires so i can sand down and paint all the scratches. I was going to paint it black but i was told that there is a company that sells factory colors in a rattle can. Hopefully viper green. Anyone know who that is? Thanks.

They can mix to code, or to match a small sample piece you can mail to them. I have used them several times with good results. Note that if your car was painted by a PO and/or more than a year or so ago, you are better of matching the existing paint. You can't rely on the original paint formulation nor the effects of sun fading, polishing etc.

Check with professional paint supply shops. Many will custom mix colors from your paint code and package into spray cans. I had 4 spray cans of Grand Prix White packged into spray cans for about $35 last year. It took about 20 minutes in the store while I waited. Joe

Thanks guys. I looked into paintscratch.com and they want 30.00 per can. Sounds like a good deal to me.I havent looked into towerpaint.com yet.

Tower Paint is less expensive and the spray tip is superior. They sent me about 4 tips with my last order as well.

I bought 1 gallon of paint and had the last 4th quart loaded into spray cans, touch up applicators, etc, and they charged something like $5/can.

Thanks guys. I went with Tower paints. I got 2 cans for 30.00 plus shipping vs 30.00 for 1 can. Each can is said to cover 4-6 square feet. Should be here in a week though. I wanted to put all my wiring back this weekend. Oh well.

Here is what it looks like before the paint. There was only surface rust which i sanded down and will por15 over the weekend. Im going to scuff the paint with a light sanding, then clean it with thinner then prime it. Then i wait a whole week for my rattle cans and spray it with factory color. I cant wait to see the results. After that i will do the engine compartment . The motor was pulled out and is now on loan to my freind Tyson. He Threw a rod so is now building his short stroke 2.5 .

There are those little Preval spayers also-to use with a mix of good chemicals, but those seem better for small touch-ups.
I just wonder how spray-cans will have a good proper mix of hardener and thinner. The two-part chemicals always seem to work better.
