Where to find OEM paint.

[dodik]

So im getting a spoiler soon and i need paint (not in a spray can) and i have no idea where to look for it any suggestions would be appreciated.

[SilentRacer]

if your friends with a local shop I'm sure they can get it for you.

[dodik]

do you know anyone? cause i really dont im gonna ask my mechanic if he knows any decent body shops but i persoanlly never dealt with one. who did your front by the way its pretty decent job they did??

[SilentRacer]

I think they did an excellent job for the smallest amount, even I can't tell the difference. I can give you the shop number, I'm not sure if they can just sell you the paint by itself or not.

who is the question i think you told me already but i cant remember.

Why not in a spray can. Check out http://www.paintscratch.com/

Oem color paint. Will match perfectly.

[dodik]

Actually I believe it is Dupont paint, and lets be serious unless you had your car repainted professionally, the quality of Subaru paint leaves alot to be desired.

If you take your time you'll be surprised how good this stuff looks.

yeah i kinda thought about it and im gonna try to spray paint it and then if the color is good ill just put nice layer of clear coat on it.

If you plan on doing this, get a Preval disposable sprayer at Napa or any auto parts store. You can get Napa to mix you a pint of oem style paint, they just need the paint code. Most of the colors they can do in house, and have it ready for you in 10 mins. Unique colors are outsourced to bodyshops though.
Youd need the paint and thinner to dilute it to use in the sprayer, but its pretty inexpensive. Paint and thinner varies, but the sprayer will run you about $20.

You can get a good grade of aerosol clear coat at any auto parts store as well.

now that you said it i remember that i pass napa paints store everyday when i go to work will check them out tomorrow thanks.

dodik, there's an automotive body/paint store on Northern Blvd, next to Potemkin Mazda/VW and across the street from the Honda dealership (it's nearby where Broadway intersects Northern Blvd).

They supply a lot of the body/collision shops around that area (if you've ever been there, there's a LOT of them).

If you don't mind the drive, they can mix up a can for you.

Paintscratch does more than just spraycans too, they can mix up a quart of paint, or a pint, or a gallon for ya as well.
