factory paint

[IL67BP]

Where can I find factory matched paint? I'm looking for a quart or enough to paint the grill. My expy is the metallic blue color.. Thanks

Dealer parts dept. Maybe a local autobody supply place though you might have to bring the paint code.

Cool thanks.. I was thinking the dealer but I try to stay away when I can.. Any idea on approximate price for a quart?

NAPA has a decent paint department, you just have to find one that does paint as not all do. They have color chips that you can match, and they can do OEM color codes. The paint is relatively cheap, it's the hardener thats expensive. If you're just doing your grill, you can get a 1/4 quart for around $20-30, and that will be more than enough. The hardener is around twice the cost of the color.

Cool I was actually at napa the other day and saw they had some paint.. Maybe just 2 diff colors in a quart and a lot more in spray cans but I did not ask what they could get. I'm new to this type of paint since I had always just used rattle cans. Is the hardener required to use that quart of paint? I have found thanks to a member on another forum the only 2 part clear coat in a rattle can and there have been good reviews. So if I used that would I still need to buy the hardener along side the quart of paint? Thanks

then you can get their perfect match paint. it also shows you where you can buy it. looks like most auto stores. I have a friend who has used it on his car and it seemed to match it pretty well. he used rattlecans

Yes, you need the hardener and a decent HVLP spray gun to apply the paint. Some NAPA stores do mix paint into rattle cans too, so you can get any color you want in that if it's easier for you.

You can get it in any configuration. I have used it on mine and it seems to match up pretty well.
