WTF!? Is this rattle can paint?

[CB7 Sleeper]

Okay, so I need some help guys. I remember a thread a while ago about paint matching the side moldings and drummersteve or somebody posted a link to a paint store or something that sold any paint color in a rattle can. You just had to enter in your paint code from the door jam or whatever and you could buy a rattle can full of that color paint. Can anybody post a link or tell me where I can get this stuff please.

if you have an oreily's with a paint department near you, they can do the same thing.

Can I use this paint to paint my side moldings too? Like, just spray it on? Or do I need to prime it and everything else?

This site offers similar and possibly more options.

do I need to prime it and everything else?

If you want the paint to stick, yes.

Here in my city I went to Offshore Auto Supplies and had some paint mixed up in rattle cans for me. Stuff works pretty good. Now, if only I hadn't effed up with the primer, it actually would have matched.

I actually am buying this to paint that OEM spoiler Mikey. It's way cheaper to do it this way myself. I'm gonna use some filler to fill the crack, sand, prime, sand, prime, wet sand, paint and then clear. Does this sound about right?

Hi, when it comes to any type of painting, sanding is a must if you want your paint to stick and not peel.

Prep work is #1.


I suggest using a light colored primer if you have a light colored car. It will make the color easier to match instead of using a dark primer.

Thanks.

Hold off on the paint til I have the spoiler shipped. I might need to hang onto it. I have a couple things going on right now.

1) Buying the trunklid the spoiler came off of. I have to now fill the holes in before I can paint and mount the trunk.

2) The spoiler MIGHT look good on it

3) If I don't like it, then it's all yours like we discussed, and then I'll get one of those M3 style trunk lip spoilers.

Oh I know man, I was gonna grab some anyway because I want to paint my side moldings and bumper trim to match the car.
